i have a CX5MII and as much as i like having it around it's really not that
advanced. i think u have seriously over estimating it's abilities,
especially in the live arena! the computer itself is at about the same
level as the commodore 64. the fm synths in them are not too bad at all,
but the midi implementation on the CX5MII is pretty limited. program
change, midi sync, and 4 controllers (volume, sustain, portamento switch
and portamento time). i think it was even more limited on the CX5M.
sequencing? compared to cakewalk and acid it is very very basic sequencing.
Does this particular PC already have a floppy disk drive (3.5) or is
like the atari where you have to add on everything???
add on. and i think the floppy drives are hard to find.
i'm note totally sure what you are trying to achieve but perhaps one of
those midi controller knobby things used with the DX21 would do the job... ?
