Subject: Re: Which MIDI interface?

I just made Bojan's 1st version and it's a very simple built. It
works just fine. I don't fins any point for the P6 to have midi out
(there are much better keyboard controllers. This one doesn't even
have velocity or after touch). Also I wouldn't "harm" any of the P6
features like taking out the arpeggiator which is so great !! With
Bojan's there is not differece using the P6. Also 60$ is VERY
reasonable price for it!!
