Elektron Musical Instruments

Thanks for all the cool info Denis.  I really want to get the 
soldering iron plugged in but my fatman is in the states and I'm in 
Korea.

The UM-1S is very reliable.  It is a simple USB to Midi in/out.  
I've never had problems with it.  I do all my OS and sysex transfers 
with it on my PC no problem.  Now I'm getting on with mac.  I guess 
I'll have to wait until everyone catches up to the Panther.
