Yes, I can see how the current use of MIDI controller data is much
more than when the AN1x was designed. It would have been a nice
touch but hey... I just went up and picked up a Midi box for cheap
so its not that big a deal... I just wanted to make sure there
wasn't a special mode or something I could use before spending
money. So thanks for the repies!
