Well, since all modern computers have good quality audio I/O, we are 
back to the point where the cassette interface is useful again. True,
it would be much nicer to have a direct MIDI sysex implementation of
the entire set of parameters, but hooking up the cassette interfce to a 
computer can be done with no modifications at all to the P6, so I find 
the beforementioned P6 librarian program a very attractive tool indeed,
and I will be looking forward to evaluate (and probably pay for) a copy.
