The tool is awesome! Especially in the hands of someone who knows how to compose😊 Like Wolf! And BTW, just producing the output from these 42 channels with all its functionality and effects in realtime is impressive!

Great! Yes I bought one from Jeroen at MSXGoto40👍 Haven’t tried to flash it, as I was a bit quick reading the post here: www.msx.org/news/hardwar... about 8MB, however, I’m now seeing that Jeroen updates far down on the page that 15MBs can used. Thanks!!! I can now test🤩

My MSX pico is only 8MB, don’t think that will work, so maybe the other Picos 😊👍
