Hey Don:

A thumb drive would work. I use them now to transfer songs from one PC to my internet Laptop. Still, the cataloging capability might be a little more complex but I could work around that easily. Don't most (if not all) controllers require MIDI connection? MIDI appears to be the next thing down from Rocket Science in complexity... LOL! I have difficulty just using more than one track of my digital recorder.

Educate me a little and we might just see what the Alesis could do for me. The learning curve is what I'm worried about. It's all I can do just to stay focused on writing songs, getting them recorded and then running the gauntlet in Nashville with 20,000 other gullible fools who think they might stand a chance in getting a cut by George Strait or Reba MacIntyre... LOL! (Or someone else of that stature... even Josh Groban would be acceptable in a pinch.)

Thanks,

Dave
