I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you on this but I do have a
question (8^).  I have a 755CD and want to use the MIDI.  Do I need
a special cable to do this?  Where could I find some software to
experiment with MIDI.  My wife is a musician and one of the selling
points of the 755CD was the MIDI so now I would like to show her
that it works!

Thanks!
