Elektron Musical Instruments

well the midi specification bit may be a bit misleading? though there will
be a completely different protocol (no status bit maybe) surely any changes
to the data layer aren't going to need a new piece of hardware, it must be a
change at the physical level. Somebody mentioned something once about using
all the pins, maybe they're running their own parallel data stream over a
connection that is normally just serial or something? i dunno! I'll
definately be having a peek at the stream when mine arrives :)
