Re: EDP Hardware Interface



What you guy are pointing out to me is that many more features are accessible from the existing EDP hardware interface than I'm taking advantage of. 
 
And that some others capabilities are easiest accessed via a midi controller.
 
Dealing with all these variables/parameters live and while playing with other people is just a headful of stuff to keep track of.
 
I guess I'm just a bit of a bonehead and hate dealing with manuals.
 
AURISIS -- is the Loop IV software code-base portable to the PC and MAC OS's??
