Hi Hendrik Can't thank you enough for the first brilliantly clear and helpful explanation of all this confusing sys message voodoo I've ever seen, and that is after extensive trolling of the internet, posting to different user groups, etc. I have checked out your site. Incredibly helpful info. Thank you so much for helping me to solve the puzzle. Just so you know, I'm actually using these loops on a Yamaha QY100 sequencer which is why I was asking about the sys common messages. so the incompatibility issues regarding LA itself should not matter. Thanks to your great info, I should be able to slog through the rest of the way by myself! Many thanks, Hendrik, for taking the time. Tim

No thanks -- I'm glad my post was useful. And if you run into any more problems regarding this stuff, feel free to ask. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com
