We used my P3 as a master MIDI clock for about 5 or 6 of the rigs on a couple of tunes at Different Skies. There were several times when one of the rigs would not be ready to receive clock and I'd have to stop and start to generate a start message. Is there a way to do a one shot

colin, I agree with your conclusions about FTS - that 2 octaves would work - one to toggle the pitches and the other to set the base pitch.... so, with 2 octaves for FTS and 4 octaves for transpose, that still leaves 2 octaves (24 keys) left to feature asignments.... gary
