Emax

Jose,

I just got your email, I'm still at work but it sounds
very very promising.  I will try it the moment I get
my emax II booted. 

I sincerely appreciate your quick response.  I was so
set to go on a track last night and got so bogged down
and annoyed with my lack of multi-timbrality that I
just lost my inspiration, shut of the rig and went to
bed musicaly unfulfilled. 

Hopefully tonight will be different.

Thanks very very much for your assistance!

Regards,

John B
