  You got me :) cheap cable. I'm using the emu xmidi. After reading the other thread about this I'm pretty sure you're right. I guess it's time for midiman. 

  I'm going to keep this cable around because it does some neat things to the arp tx channel when routed through cubase. Like it fills up and makes notes hang. It sounds really cool. 

  Btw, where do you guys post tracks? 

  Thanks again.
