the power strip with on/off switchs a good solution, another, more convenient one is a little rocker switch unit that has a socket for the power pack jack and a lead to go to your evolver.

I am planning to get a few when I sell my V3 midi splitter (any one need one, hint, hint). markd --- ski_ex5tech <ex5tech@...> wrote: > It bugged me a little bit, too, at first.
