chines with light pipe, for more processing
power.

What about using forte in the same machine? Did you try the Solid Sound
Studio's Aux Bus Set software for forte?

Here it is again:

Mono with pan???

you're good to go. Deej walked me through his lastest setup (configured to
my modules) and we were pretty well done in 15 minutes with an additional
1/2 hour on my part to make sure all components were playing nicely with
each other.

Funny thing was I was able to use this basic template in two other apps -
Saw studio (demo) and Reaper (demo) with no real problems at all.
