Finally got around to check some Maschine tutorials and do some tests - after about 1 year of negligence. I also installed 1.7, which worked, after some small initial problems. I think I'm starting to get it - especially working with the hardware. Somehow it "clicked" - yay! Going to work on it again tomorrow. Cheers, Gert -- ---------- gert van santen www.gertvansanten.nl
