no need to trouble yourself AJ looking for an answer i have it worked it out now, and i will have a cakewalk ins file shortly which will make setting up MIDI's to play on it so much quicker and easier..btw trying to edit MIDI files on-board this thing is very "clunky", surprising as it claims to be a specialist MIDI file player...still, it sounds pretty good and the drums are very very good (nearly as good as the PA!) so you have to overlook the shortcomings...more about this when i post a review a bit later...suffice to say i feel the op sys has a long way to go..as has the manual
cheers
