i'm happy to see it's useful...it took me months to understand and
set up things on cubase, it's time to share the info (unfortunately i
couldn't find the time to write something more comprehensive about
it)!
also you can give a look at www.midevice.com - they too have a
wrapper, i tried the first version and didn't like it, but the new
one could deserve a try (just my opinion, of course!)
good luck :)
