There are plenty of midi-inteface cards on the market. Voyetra are one of the main manafacturers .The V-22 model has 2 midi ins and 2 outs, which is fairly good for 99(punts). Its easy to install and if theres room on your laptop, (its the same size as a soundcard, well obviously) I'd say it'd be ideal. You might want to look around a bit more though, I think theres even cheaper ones available. _______________________________ On the records at wrong rpm topic, might not be too relevant but nearly everything put out on the hard hands label is marked wrong. All the ones marked as 33 play at 45 and vice versa. Kind of a little trademark of theirs. Bye, John
