yup. emagic mt4 works great, btw, but i hate my dodgy cable. would love it if there were a more factory-made USB/Host+Slave cable that just plain worked. but yeah, i'm finding the neo1973 a very nice little screen to sit on the MIDI bus and tell me whats going on. the 19" rack full of synths suddely has a little window. ;) seq24 + neo1973 + MIDI + multitimbral synth==great fun! > The question now is how many synths use fixed point math and what > their load is like.
