[LAU] USB Compliant MIDI

[Bob van der Poel]

"just work" should be an advertising trademark :)

In the WK-6600 manual they say that the first time you connect the keyboard
to a windows computer the software drivers will "automatically load". They
didn't add "and just work" :)

But, really, these days a lot of this stuff is getting pretty easy to
connect/run. I can't say I'll miss my MIDI cable adventures ... esp. when I
plug input to output, etc and stand there like an idiot wondering why
things don't "just work"!
