Thanks, Ismael. A bit beyond my needs at the moment. I have one external 
MIDI device (a Yamaha keyboard), so I just needed IN and OUT 
connections. The church whose band I play in has made a noise or two 
about replacing its present Yamaha; when they do, I might consider 
making an offer on it. But that's a good ways off yet!
