Hi, I certainly can't object to lots of people trying different ways - we only need to get the result once, after all. The only thing that concerns me is folks thinking that getting a result for their particular favourite piece of kit is the end game - it's not. We want access to every bit of MIDI kit out there. This is a big target in itself, but will still leave the problem of non-MIDI kit, soft synths (although MIDI text out could potentially affect these if we got it through the MMA), etc.. I'm trying to focus my efforts on one target that I understand at the technological level and think is attainable in some kind of sensible time frame and where a means exists to address accessibility industry-wide. If I can make this work then we all win, not just the fortunate few with the resources to afford a Kurzweil (I'm one of the lucky ones here). Cheers.

Yeh, I know, just seems some folks are rather thick about the fact that this stuff just doesn't happen over night, and they've got their nickers in a knot...
