Thanks for your help, Eric.

I just solved the problem.
The cable that connects the Live board with the front
module was out of place. Now I can play my Roland as an
external keyboard, although MIDI is something new to me
and I'm confused about several issues that I'll comment in a
separate message.

Thanks again,
Peter.
