4 on 4 off response and a new question about MIDI stability

Thanks for the input....yes 11 O-clock is about where the balance is 
on my 2002....I guess I can always run the 2 outputs in parallel to 
my Rane SM26 submixer and final position them there, it's just that 
because its new to me its not in the rack with the other toys, just 
on its own for a shakedown cruise

since I have you on the line is there anything squirrely about the 
2000/2s  reliability of MIDI note on and off and velocity 
sensitivity?  I am using a Roland GI-20 guitar/MIDI controller and 
when I play my Strat/MIDI guitar with my separate Roland sound unit 
the sounds are much more certain and reliable, but on the 2002 I get 
way more missed/delayed/and stray notes, almost as if there is a 
latency/overload issue....I have even tried a variety of string 
sensitivity settings and its still hard to control with the 
guitar....would upping the MIDI baud rate help?

just curious 

thanks for helping a 2002 newbie

Brian
