Thanks for the reply Donny,and you are right in what you say. In many cases I would do just that,however,I bought the SX900 for certain occasions and variety. Even if I used the SX900 for 25% of my gigs,I might want to include Midi play over,as well as singing,on those occasions. You have helped me answer my own question,because,now, it is even more remote that I would spent tons of time on setting up Midis,and just take my laptop.
