That´s very cool !

Yes, the MTM seems to work except that it is a bit sensitive to incoming
Midi. I slapped it into the drumrack last night and connected it up to my
Midi setup. ( Atari 1040 > Waldorf MB-15 Midipatch > MTM ). Compared to my
other MTM this one is more sensitive to the same messages. It skips notes
:-(

However, while changing assignments in the Midipatch, I mistakenly routed
the output from my TR-909 to the faulty MTM and then it worked ok. The
TR-909 seems to echo incoming messages to its outputs and apperently
amplifies them.

That SDS2MIDI thing looks very interesting ( if I didn´t already have the 2
MTM´s, I´d get one or three ).
