anhbus,
how do you use these recorded songs? do you play them and play along? or?
Just wondering why if your so into sequencing songs you chose the 9000 if you knew it was as you say "slow to operate" ? I don't use this keyboad that way, I mainly use it for peformance and it works great for that purpose. The best sequencing keyboard I have seen that is Super user friendly are ENSONIC model synths. Just my 2 cents.
