The newest model includes
software version 4.0 , while the older model (available on sale from link Jerry cited) comes with version 3.1. The new model includes more internal hardware memory (RAM) of which is required for 4.0 to work. Unfortunately this hardware RAM is only installable by the manufacterer 3.1 MusiPad Pro+ owners must must send their unit to Freehand (and pay an upgrade fee) to gain the memory + software version 4.0 upgrade. I chose to upgraded (swapped) my 3.1 model MusicPad Pro+ unit for a 4.0 unit back in January 2006. Contact Kevin Crowder at
Freehand Sytems for the current 4.0 upgrade fee: info@freehandsystems.com .
Ok, here are just a few select links to SZ topics on the MusicPad Pro+:
