I just saw this at the Sweetwater website: The new Tascam DP-24SD. The photo is apparently of the original DP-24 but (according to Sweetwater) the unit WILL have MIDI IN/OUT. No info on the Tascam website yet but basically it is exactly like the old DP-24 minus the CD burner. $399 for 24 tracks. Not too shabby. I wonder if Tascam got an earful of complaints about the lack of MIDI on the DP-32SD and made sure to include them this time. Who knows..maybe we'll see a DP32SD MKII with MIDI ports sometime soon. Anyway...just thought this might be of interest to some. Cheers.
