Not the one that makes money selling gear. As far as the users are concerned it does use MIDI - MIDI goes in and MIDI comes out - they couldn't care less if thier are actual MIDI bytes in there or not. However from the users point of view there are definate advantages, they can use OSC (for eg.), externally only ofcourse, to control thier synths and it will interoperate with the MIDI control and the mouse/control surface control. - Steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
