Don, the Music assistant works the same as the VA series version 2 upgrade...The VA7 Version2 reads Performances direct from the ZIP , for unlimited selection..you do not have to load into performance memory..When you select Music Assistant it shows all the titles?names ,{alphabeticle}from the zip..Every possible parameters from the panel can be saved,including other styles that are also stored on the same zip..This is by far the best way to select personal song selections,,you can also have the performance linked with a SMF..
