As I stated earlier, for everything else I love my Pro. I rarely play midi files. So no biggi for me. If you have a chance, just listen to the Pro. Most of us 9000/Pro owners agree however that out of the box it sounds a little bland since the DSP effects are pretty much set to neutral. After some tweeking the board realy comes alive.
Hope this helps.
