VERY cool! I hadn't looked around for any docs. Thanks for that link.
I have an E-MU Xboard49 and this is perfect for all those knobs.

Heh, that was the first thing I did when I got it, just recorded that
so I could show people how it sounded.

I love him still... He had tons of songwriting abilities, and he was
really a good guitarist, in my opinion. Just because he wasn't playing
speed solos or cared if he was in tune doesn't make him a horrible
musician. He was my hero, and the reason I got into playing music in
the first place.

No idea... What you hear in that MP3 is played real-time, I didn't
touch it up at all.. So if you hear the small delay in that file,
that's what it is. The audio out of the guitar went into channel one
in my mixer, and the output of my synth went into channel 2 of my
mixer, panned, and out into my PC soundcard.
