Agree. My dream is to have midi over usb to control fm3 via daw and at the same time use midi out of fm3 to control another device!+1, but only if it can run MIDI over USB and use the 5-pin ports as well; so, if, for instance, a MIDI message is sent "thru" via USB, it could come out the 5-pin, etc. This was a huge frustration with my Korg Kronos. If USB MIDI is being used, the ports don't work.
