The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Thanks so much Gary. After playing around with your suggestions, I 
finally got it. I'm afraid I just don't understand enough about MIDI 
to just know right off what you're talking about all the time, and 
while I would love to learn more, like I stated earlier, it is 
extremely difficult to find any information on MIDI that I can 
understand. But it works now, and I do have a better understanding of 
why, though still not nearly complete.

Thanks again,
Matt
