Subject: Re: DIY Midi for P6 - has anyone built it ?

From: "gil_we" <gil_we@yahoo.com>

on the linked page I found this

"MIDI implementation? It's possible, but is it reliable? Everyone I
know
who has gotten this modification says their occilators no longer work
properly and the sound just doesnt produce the same tone."

What do you think ? does this make any sense ?
