EPU:
You're absolutely right - MIDI being a serial protocol, the hardware can be dead slow and the module would still be the limiting factor. That is, of course, if you're just running the MIDI files, and not the monster application you used to generate them! (I notice Cakewalk Pro 9.0 requires a bunch of memory and processor speed.)

Of course, in my case, eBay just can't beat free . . .
