Re: EDP midi offsets

[Matthias Grob <matilists@atarde.com.br>]

youhou, Phillip!

I understand your problem is that the fcb1010 only sends on one MIDI  
channel
but remember the EDP can receive Notes or CC equally
so you could use notes for two units and CC for the third, for  
example, no? (I dont have a fcb1010...)

good luck
Matthias
