Thanks - it's not necessarily better, but certainly entails smaller
file sizes and completely ubiquitous editing application i.e. Word,
Notepad, etc. Also, arguably, it's easier to read & go set your
attack time 60% between notches 3&4 than take the extra step of
implicitly interpreting that from a picture and then making the
setting.
I looked back at the couple patches I took down this way after I got
the keyboard - by far the best one was not completely listed - seem
to have skipped voice #2. So maybe I'm a worthless idiot after all
(don't answer that).
