Re: Boomerang MIDI



The addition of MIDI enablement would not have to make it more complex,
though - the only necessary visible addition to the Boomerang would be two
small sockets at the back.  If you didn't use MIDI (and therefore were 
looking
for the ports) you probably wouldn't even know the unit was different.

Cheers
Tim
