Yes the non stop sequencing is great on the MD.  This is the main 
reason I'm getting rid of my MPC2000.  Although the mpc is much more 
powerfull in sequencing, I know I can do the same with my MD.  As for 
the limitations of the midi machines, I have nothing on hand right 
now.  I just wish I could edit the sequences from a larger monitor.  
Of course I never used a soft sequencer for long periods of time.  It 
would just be helpful to make whole songs.  

I was wondering if the realtime recording on the MD is possible on 
the MIDI machines with other gear?  I tried with my Indigo2 but the 
Indigo always makes the MD change kits.  I know I have to set the 
Indigo to something with the midi menus.  How can I stop the MD from 
changing kits?  Why does it change KITS and not something else?
