Hello Slau, Thanks much as always great info. I don't own a control surface yet, The second hand 003 was sold before I knew it :-( I am considering an Alphatrack which Kevin Reeves suggested. Isn't it possible to create an insertion without a control surface? Friendly, Ronald Op 28 feb 2011, om 16:40 heeft Slau Halatyn het volgende geschreven:
