Here's a quick questionaire for all you MIDI fans.  
These questions are in regard to a 2-serial-port MIDI adapter that we 
are developing.  That means it can handle 32 MIDI channels.  
Please describe the MIDI interface You would want to buy and use...

 o   How many OUTS should it have?
 o   How many THRUS should it have?
 o   Does it need to have a switchable OUT/THRU?
 o   Would it still need a switchable OUT/THRU if it had "enough" OUTS?
 o   How many is "enough" OUTS?
 o   Should any/all OUTS/THRUS be switchable between port 1 and port 2?
 o   Does it need to have LEDS to indicate signal presence?
 o   Would you like to be able to merge the two IN adaptors to a single
     serial port?
 o   Does it need a serial-port pass-thru?  
     ( Remember this is your 2nd and 3rd serial ports )

 o   What existing AMIGA MIDI software would You like to see make use of these
     extra/alternate MIDI channels??

 o   How much would You pay for this "dream" MIDI adaptor?
 o   Which features are "must haves"?
 o   Which features are "nice to have if not too expensive?"

BTW, which user groups do the Amiga MIDI enthusiasts hang out on?

If you would like to e-mail me your replies, send them to

Thanks.
