Hi, ELFA has the Logic pro Upgrade (Gold 6->Platinum plus plugins) advertised for AUD525, which is in all honesty a great deal considering that my previous upgrades all cost about the same. Imagine my surprise when I contacted my local music shop (well the one I use), to find hat will sell me the package for AUD475, which really makes my day. Thanks to anyone commenting about Edirol MIDI interfaces - I still do not have concrete information about the quality of the 8x8 interfaces and their usage with Logic and Sounddiver however. I have a need for 2 8x8 multiport MIDI interfaces that do extensive routing and filtering of MIDI data. I want to do all the data thinning at the interface since Logic has no clock filter and the MID filtering is hopeless in software for my hardware purposes. I also want to be assured that Sounddiver will work - my current interfaces do not work properly with SD at all (I know it is another forum, but MIDI is MIDI). Someone *please* recommend to me a multiport 8x8 interface that is: Multiport cheap works with SD & Logic 100% cheap has routing and filtering cheap The Edirol UM-880 seems to have the lot covered, but I cannot find one person who is actually using one in anger with Logic & SD. rachel -- Rachel Polanskis Systems Admin, University of Western Sydney V1-37, Kingswood Campus (+61 2) 47 360 291 <r.polanskis@...> "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" - Benjamin Franklin, 1759
