 This is hypothetically true, but I don't think there is a big difference
between the midi interfaces for thee Amiga, as I have seen several that 
promise compatibility with all interfaces. So either they all use the
same setup, or they know about (and more importantly support) the others.
Note that this is merely an observation; I use Mimetics' interface, sampler 
& midi software with my roommate's brand-spanking-new Casio 1000 :-) :-) :-)

 I can cough in three octaves!!

"You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic

every creature that lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat
of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life.
Everywhere in the universe."
