Thanks for the feedback... I think I'm going to end up just sampling 
loops and chopping them on my sampler anyway. That's what I'm, used 
to... Could you tell me a bit more about those libraries that sound 
better than stylus and what style of music do you make with them?


Realm, thanks for the Midi in/out trick! I've looked around the net a 
while ago and most everything I found on midi groove really sucked... 
but I'm going to give it another try....

thanks again...
