- GG> I broke down and bought a Roland D-50 yesterday. I'd like to know how
- GG> well Bars & Pipes Pro will support this keyboard, and also how readily
- GG> available patches are for it (and where the best place to locate them
- GG> is).
-
- Bars & Pipes Pro should work. I had extensive use of over 5 keyboards
- before I finally purchased an Ensoniq SQ2. I liked the Roland for it's
- digital sounds, but the SQ2's drum maps won me over. As far as patches
- are concerned, B&P pro has a ptool called "SuperDuper" which basically
- can be configured to recognize the control track # and you specify what
- instrument it is. Very handy.... You could also go for Patchmiester
- from Blue Ribbon, but the learning curve is rather steep. I've still
- got a lot of trouble trying to figure out.

- GG> While I'm at it, does anyone have any recommendations for a $100 or

- GG> external MIDI interface for the A2000 series (should also work with the
- GG> A4000)? I've no real specific requirements other than in, out, through.
- GG> Thanks. (Well, I guess a serial pass-through would be nice. <grin>)
-
- Try an ECE midi: it has midi in, out & thru....and has a serial pass
- through with an external switch to select either midi or modem (wish
- I could do both...then I could record a sequence while downloading!!)
