[RWP] Legacy Surfaces

[indigo]

What's the name and model number of the Peavey?
I'll google about it, just for curiousity, and learn if anything about 
it surfaces in Cockos forums.
I have an old wonderfully built, Made In Japan Roland MS-307 groove box 
full of buttons, pots and 1 really long throw fader, all transmitting 
data from midi out.
Maybe someone wrote Reaper assignments for it already.
Like Reaper itself, those Cockos user forums are almost infinite.
If you follow a thread, then follow related links to that thread, and 
then related links in the next forum, after a couple hundred hours 
you'll often find yourself back where you began, as in all mazes. smile.
