But how does it work then? Can you for example plug the shit into a normal
midi and record the midi messages in Cubase or is it a PC-only thingy?

It sure looks crappy and cool but if I should buy one I would want to use it
too!

Make no mistake - it's totally a toy, but it's fun just to mess
around with. The cable has a mini stereo plug on one end and the
other hooks up to a joystick port. I haven't tried using it with any
REAL audio software; maybe I should see if that's even possible.

The best uses for the DrumX would be if you "played" a laptop as a
live instrument, or if you could use it with other software
(especially for someone who writes their own programs: better
software for it would be great!)

I'll reinstall the program and upload some screenshots for you.
