Re: Greetings and a question

Funny that my response was timely as I sent it more than a week ago, but it just came 
through! (Understandable since I am a new member.)

Does your Axiom allow you to send NRPNs from any of its controls? If not, does the Evolver 
receive any ordinary CC commands? ( (The Mopho does receive a limited but useful 
selection of CC commands.)

It's ironic that Dave Smith invented MIDI. I wish he would make a keyboard controller. 
None of the current controllers seem to be capable of working well with hardware that 
uses NRPN.
