Not to huge effect, mind you. Finale was going a tad bonkers and kept crashing. Once I had given up and started to shut things down I realised why – Parallels Desktop was trying to steal the Mbox (that the keyboard’s MIDI signal runs through) away to the dark side of Windows, rather than letting it play merrily in the sunny Mac meadow. So I have no recording of what I did, but it was heading towards something more usable than the last attempt anyway. And now I know to plug in the Mbox and then disconnect it from Windows if Parallels is running before I try to do anything
