Re: Enigma XML file for Keystation Pro 88 / Karma???

Hey, Mark,
   Sounds like you'll get to most of it.  I see you posted your 
question over at KLF too.  That's a smart move.  Eventually Stephen 
Kay may have some answers for you.  I know he is extremely busy with 
the new M3 (voicing, video demos etc.), plus he's working on various 
KARMA software for the Karma, OASYS, and eventually M3.  I don't know 
when he sleeps.  Anyway, please do share with us (and KLF) your 
results.
Cheers,
Eric

Not ideal.
