Apparently, the problem it is having is that MIDI hasn't set up it's standard in such a way that it is uniform.... One such discrepancy is with pitch bend. The MIDI association didn't say for sure that when you send a pitch bend of an xx value that it bends the pitch +- 1/2 step, a whole step, or what. So sometimes if you have a pair of keyboards (or more) chained together with the others as slaves, you get some pretty weird results.... Count on me posting more about this in the near future....
