Fernando: thanx for the info; I did get my (external)SCSI Zip connected. Perhaps you can answer an additional question. I read that it is imperative to get samples from CDs into the E-Mu. If it is not connected to a PC, how is that done?

I agree with your notions of music being played by musicians rather than step time; what I hope is the case is that one can do tracks non-musically, then sequentially replace them by played tracks. If the weak link is my lack of musicianship I suppose that that is what one lives with!

I've worked on nuclear warheads before but this stuff id complicated!

Cordially, BH
