CHes, to expand on my porivate email answers -I don't know much about the
TX81Z, except it's worth hanging onto for other sounds.  The synths I've played
percussion on are the Casio MT240, Yammie PSS480, and Roland MT-32.  All use
one channle for percussion, and put different "instruments" for different note
"pitches."  Maybe the TX81Z has only "tuned" percussion isnstruments, each of
which can play a whole scale of notes, and eats up a whole channel per
instrument, just like regular instruments.  If so, the Perc Clef won't help
there.

Test the HR16 or any other synth in the store:  Hook a MIDI keyboard's output
to its input.  You should be able to hit all the various perc instruments by
hitting keys on the keyboard, without using any "splits" or other tricks.

If so, it will work with Umuse3 and its Perc Staff.  Glad you like the new
features, heaven knows I do! --mike k
