GeorgeV-Thank you for the fast reply. Well, that being the case, if I want to use the board for backing tracks to record and play along at the same time then I'm going to need more that 32 notes. I was really looking hard at both the Casio 310 and the Yamaha 625. I guess the next step up would be the S08, S90 or the Alesis Fusion 88. I was hoping to get by a little cheaper but I guess you get what you pay for. LOL
