Guys, thanks for all your awsome responses..I really appreciate it. You know, I really like the Motif ES for everything, but I started to wonder if it would be better for me to just go ahead and sell my i30 and get the OMB program from Joe Maas.
I was thinking, if I sell my i30 for lets say 1300 bucks, which someone already offered me, then I could get Joes program for 30 bucks and I was thinking about getting an XG chip soundcard to use with OMB. And I was also looking into getting a good controller keyboard like the Edirol PCR-80. Its a 61 key keyboard with 8 faders and a lot of buttons and controllers.. I think this could really work for me.

I will end up saving a lot of money and I can continue to use Windows 98se and my Korg Oasys PCI soundcard.

One of the main reasons, I wanted to get the MOes was because of MLan, but then I would have needed to sell my Oasys, because Mlan doesnt work in XP and Mlan will only work in XP.
Anyways, guys, thanks so much for all your kind advice. I really appreciate having a bunch of music friends that help each other out..

best,
Musikman
