Correct. I left out that to not bore people with a marathon post :-))
I do run my RME box set to "AutoSync".

I think the day Roland offers a "Voice Pickup" that talks to the GR55
it will totally rock. Until then we need string instruments with GK
pickups to drive the GR55. It doesn't detect normal MIDI, you need a
special Roland cable between the GK pickup and the GR55. The sounding
synths are all in the GR55 although the GR55 can also produce a MIDI
output to drive other parallel MIDI devices.
