Dr. T's has released several programs, including KCS. Reviews upcoming on both their products and Music-X (among others). 'Fraid I'll have to copout on your drum machine question, as I don't have one here and have done no syncing work with DMCS. HOWEVER, others have tried and had problems with the two going slowly out of sync; I forget whether the drum machine gained or lost. Since you've already made the purchase and are not depending on my answer, the best I can suggest is try it and see… and let us all know how it works, so we can help the next pioneer. 8) Funny, most people who slave drum machines _prefer_ to write the drum patterns in the sequencing program rather than using the drum machine's hardware. In fact, there've been several discussions on MIDI forum about what a waste drum machines are these days… and how just a small MIDI slave box with drum sounds in it, to be driven by a sequencer, would be a lot cheaper. Let me know how it works. Rick
