I can confirm that the XD-SMC Adapter works with the 303. I use 64mb xd cards with the adaptor on both the 303 and the 505 and they work fine. dont know if it will work with larger capacity cards though.

cheers.

I think that was in Brazil where he was working on the Madvillainy stuff at the time.

I use a midi controller to control the 505 without any problems. I use the MPD24 which gives me velocity sensitivity. cheers.
