Well, I did OS 3.1 instead and wonder of wonders, everything works fine now so far. I must have done something wrong when I loaded 3.0. Hmmm. I'll have to experiment more but I'm thinking that this might make the differnce totally for me now synth on mid files. Seq 2 wasn't always l;oading properly, the screen didn't look right and no groove function to boot. now it all comes up like the manual says it should.. I'll have to play a little now and try to simulate what I'm going to do live.. I think I can maybe use the PA80 as my primary gigging board and maybe eliminate the 2000 altogether. I have some decisions to make.
