yes, i have it set to echos:beats (just like on my PCM-80), and the 
source switched from "internal" to "midi". it was chained off the thru 
of the PCM-80, and the 80 was in lock, the mpx was not. holding the TAP 
button in shows the tempo source and current tempo. it shows 120 BPM, 
MIDI. wtf?

then, i changed the wires around (with the midi going INto the MPX, and 
THRU to the PCM) ... nobody locked. then i started doing CC tests. i 
routed CC#1 to the wah cutoff and started moving the mod wheel. nothing.

i'm going to assume that it's MIDI is FOOBAR. no in, no thru. i didn't 
bother with out ... no point really.

btw, what's your favourite thing to do with this little A/B modulating 
badboy?
