I have one or Deltronics-like items. I think they were made
under different names but were essentially the same underneath.
E.g. one is called a 'Barnet box'. Unless you mean the later,
smaller Deltronics stuff? I'm afraid I can't help with the EMR
MIDI software as music isn't really my area. In fact I've just
sold my last musical item - a Music 500 unit. I could always use
copies of the software/manuals you mention though as there are
bound to holes in what I've got.
