Thanks for your response.
Ah well Ensoniq is no more. They were absorbed in 1998 by Emu/Creative - and I don't know whether the Emu part of that company is still alive.
Which begs a wider question regarding the preservation of midi related data and documentation. Seems strange that the most informative books and articles on MIDi are all from the 1980s. And sadly some of those authors have passed on - i was shocked to discover that Martin Russ who wrote for UK Sound on Sound magazine for years passed earlier this year.
So are there any initiatives to archive this sort of documentation? I guess not. And yet surely Long live Midi whether 1.0 or 2.0 is surely helped if a broad range of tech documentation is preserved centrally.
Thanks
