[PD] Problem with Commercial OSS and PD

[Timothy Rolls]

Ben,

I'll write them very soon. I have been investigating a few things that
haven't panned out, so I am collecting information that I need to contact
their Tech Support. I think the stuff you were talking about had to do only
with wavetable synths, at least that's how I read it. I found nothing about
external devices not working, but I may have missed somthing.

BTW, did you try doing what I talked about in my last e-mail? I'd be
interested in knowing if you got the same result.

Best,
Tim
