Hey ed, now you got me thinking and that means more questions!  What 
do you mean you say you dont wanna use pads for program changes?  
And about the crosstalk stuff, you say you want to use pads that are 
on seperate stands or isolated enough to not need much help, why do 
you say this?  I'm going to be using a pm-16 in the future and I'll 
run into these kinds of problems too right?  I can simply connect my 
module to the pm-16 and go from there correct?  I'm just wondering 
if its a bigger hassle then I think it is working with another midi 
controller.  Thanks!
