Oh, this is what replaced the moFX: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEUSX:IT&item=190317399841 Tiny, easy to midi or expression pedal control and a lot more flexible. All time based perimeters sync to MIDI clock. One of the casualties of the great computer revolution though so now it's up on the ebay chopping block. It's probably going to fund the new FXpansion Synthsquad instrument.
