a quick correction:
2:24 this is a parallel cable connection, not a serial cable. (specifically a 25-pin printer cable connection, to quote the manual.) thanks happyscrappy!
9:44 CC actually stands for "Control Change", not "Continuous Control". thanks KarjamP!

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed!
