Re: Using the MP7 to control external sound modules

2007-06-05 by Liquid Saint

I got ir rocking last night after some midi cable manipulation. Not
having enough and too much gear was definitely an issue. Also got over
some major sych issues. Good experience and now I understand a good
deal of the basics. Still more functions I haven't tested yet. But a
good piece - I am happy with it in my collection.

Thanks everyone. Now if we could just keep the dialogue and leave the
spammers to their male enhancement, questionable hook ups, and dream
vacations - that would be cool.

Much thanks Alwyn, Chris, Zsolt.
