- I agree - I have a 170 with the tuner, and I'm still experiencing a 20%
- failure rate on my MIDI connection (using Mark of the Unicorn's MTP -
- ugh!).

- Thank God for Opcode - they support their products AND their competitors
- products (MOTU's MTP) better than any other vendor I've dealt with.

- I'm using the current MIDI Manager to port my applications together,
- which is the only way the MOTU MTP can be seen by the PB (MOTU has been
- saying they'll have a fix out for 6 months now - when I last contacted
- them, they said that they might do a fix if enough people needed it - I'm
- glad that Cayman doesn't funtion that way, or I'd never get repeat
- business from my customers).
