Re: Are there any Firewire Midi-Only Interfaces?

I think we thought it was a midi issue because of...

So I still don't understand the problem... unless you're using
something like a convolution reverb or PSP's Vintage Warmer that add
latency to your system he should be fine.  I'm not even sure why he
can't use the midi through on the microkorg instead of having a second
MIDI interface.  I control synths on channel 1, Mobius on channel 2
and CC effects using channel 3 all with a Novation Remote 25 SL.
