My recording has come to a temporary stop due to computing improvements. An upgrade of the computer this weekend has left me without any MIDI capability. Apparently, the soundcard drivers for the Yamaha SW1000 really do not cooperate with multi-processor computers. Not surprising, since they stopped releasing the drivers back in 2002/2003. So, I will have to plan on a new sound card for recording. There's no timeframe for that. Other than that little problem, the computer is nice. It's near slient, which is a luxury I haven't had in a long time, running my old case wide open with extra fans installed. I sprung for a 22" widescreen for better views in Nuendo. Of course, with no ASIO soundcard, there's not much sense in installing it right now.
