I have the 2x2 USB from Midiman, it's a great little device, I feel sorry I
didnt buy the 2x4 or whatever it is since I'm short on midi outs now....
supposedly the usb-midimans donw work with win ME...and I've heard claims of
errenous timing. Neither is the case with me, as mine's a tight as a virgin.

Met Vriendelijke Groet / With Kind Regards,
