Hi Hank,

You don't want the cheapest MIDI interface -- you want the MOST RELIABLE one. If the CX-3 update fails, the only way to recover it is by sending it in for repair, at pretty fair expense to you. Check the recent archives, as someone copied the notes I made about the upgrade about a week or two ago. If you are comfortable upgrading the BIOS on a PC or hard disk, you can probably do the CX-3 update. However, there are a couple of tests that the update sends ahead of time, to test your PC. If any of them fail, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE UPGRADE.

You might want to consider having Korg service do the upgrade.

Regards,

-BW
