Sorry to bother the list with this, but I figure there are loads of people here that can help me out. :) I'm just starting to delve into the world of computer sequencing, since I've grown tired of dealing with a small LCD screen and pressing buttons to grapple with menus on my (admittedly out of date) Yamaha QY10. I am in search of a midi interface to connect to the midi/joystick 15 pin plug on my pc. I would like to get an interface with multiple outputs (hopefully 3, since I have a keyboard, drum machine and eventually I'll fork out the dough for a sampler). I'm not to clear on the benefits of the midi ins and thrus, though, so I'm not quite sure if I should get an interface with multiple ins and thrus. Another question I have relates to some ads I've seen for interfaces which have multiple outs, but 16 channels listed in parentheses -- does this mean that 16 channels are split amongst all the outs? The most promising interface I've come across so far is the Jam 52 by Octet Design (http://www.octetdesign.com/products/midi-soundcard/), but I'd like to hear some suggestions from some of you more experienced midi-heads! To avoid clogging up the list and irritating someone, please send replies privately. Thanks in advance for your help! __________________________________________ E r i c F r a n s :: xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx [cellular] http://home.earthlink.net/~efrans [so-cal idm] http://home.earthlink.net/~efrans/scidm [si-{cut}.db] http://home.earthlink.net/~efrans/benford
