Thanks, it looks good. I looked at it previously but hadn't seen the
midi and discarded it.

That's what I meant by usb page. Thanks, but there is no alesis product
to be found there. Too bad :/

Uh, ok, thanks for the warning. I'll try to find some more info on that.

Ok thanks for the help,
the list of competitors is:
Edirol UA-25
Alesis IO|2 (in case it has drivers)
Tascam US-122L (in case it doesn't cause firmware troubles)
Now it shouldn't be too hard to find the one that suits best
ciao
