I agree with Squeak on the XP. I used an XP-80 and those 16 dedicated part buttons were awesome. Pluse they were right in front of you so you could easily see what you're pressing and you could just layer sound after sound. Of course you have to use less fingers each time you layer a new sound so as to not run out of poly. I gave it up for an Motif ES7 because of the sound quality the ES7 puts out. I really do miss that function of the xp-80. So much so, I'm going to build a midi controller/merge box with 16 toggle switches to get this functionality back. Hopefully I'll build it small enough to be used by placing it righ on top of the ES7, just off to the left side.
