If you buy the ST-520, then you could interface them across the MIDI's if you really want to, but from this fall onward, I doubt if you'd want to waste the time and the effort. When the CX5's disk system comes out, they intend to upgrade the music module free (at $500.00 for a single 3 1/2" system this eases the pain). The new module, aside from being disk compatible will also add response capability for velocity sensitive keyboards such as the DX-7 (but not through the special CX5 keyboards). New updated cartridges will be available along with some completely new cartridges. (Yes, I have a CX5M). -- James Omura, Barrister & Solicitor, Toronto ihnp4!utzoo!lsuc!jimomura
