it appears the PA800 includes a USB 2.0 port for much faster data tramission



Actually, two of them. You get two USB 2.0 ports for connecting external devices (like an USB pendrive or hard disk), plus a single USB 1.1 port for connecting to a computer.

Realizing the PA800 includes a 'color' TOUCH SCREEN, are you able to optionally call things up on the screen from buttons and/or scroll wheel, or limited to selecting via touching the screen only


In general, you must first touch something in the screen, then use either the screen or the scroll wheel to changes values. In some cases, like when choosing Styles or Sounds in auto Select mode, you might not use the screen.

Best regards,
Paolo
