Scottyee,

Your absolutely right! I will be using it live, but will utilize it to compose, must have a good sequencer. I do not care if it's easy to operate at first boot, because it will be my first experience with a pro. arranger, which means I am willing to learn it's in & outs; as long as its not a screen to screen jumper to get at common functions. I would like it to have realistic sounds. The type of music is ballets-top 40, european latin, and dance. I appreciate your interest in helping me. By the way great NAMM pics.
