If I remember correctly Diki....I seem to remember reading an article or a blog somewhere a few years back (probably wasn't a blog back then - but you know what I mean) where Roland DID try to get another manufacturers "summit" to sort out these very issues and to take MIDI way past even GM2...but none of the other makers were that interested..wish I could recall where I saw it..

But there is now a definite and pressing need for all the makers to address these issues...still producing with a hardware/software spec that is now nearly 30 years old is really not acceptable!!
