George,
You are absolutely right about the PSR740 and its sequencer. That is one of its biggest downfalls. It depends on the disk entirely... It also really falls short when it comes to editing too. There is no copy and paste.. No overdub recording (overdubbing can only be done understyle recording) No event editing and several other important features.. Although the 740 does have some really good gadgets like the harmonizer, master EQ, DSP, and great sounds, it really lacks a good sequencer. Although it also lacks aftertouch yamaha at least included a modulation wheel. George is right about the VA-3.. That's a nice arranger. You can't find any arranger with all those features and a touch screen in its price range. I'm hoping to sell my current pro workstation so I can get a good arranger from George...Hopefully the VA-3 or EM2000.....
