Exactly. But my point is that the connector is silly to begin with. JR should have taken the opportunity with the 9303 to step up, do the right thing (as Multiplex has for years) and put a proper standard computer interface rather than sticking with with that trainer jack interface, which is

I have to comment. My MPX 3030 is getting a tad bit old now (~4yrs) and may now be out of production. Yet, it was reasonably priced when I got it at $380. It shares files with my PC. It's easy to program (you ought to see all the dust on my manual!). It can do all the mixing 90% of modelers need.

Setting aside how ridiculous it is in 2005 to have a PC interface that requires a breakout box and uses the trainer cord instead of just going to a standard USB interface for all I/O functions, The reason for these boxes is to prevent unpaid copying of the software. The box is actually a
