Larry, thanks for the reply...

Anyone else have a view? I'll be up front with all of you....I feel dumb as a rock here....what does instrument definitions mean...if I buy cakewalk....will it work with the 2000 or not? how is XG works?...and lastly, with the editing functions on the keyboard, does one really need a pC editor??? Based on beaky bird's comments, PC sequencing and editing is easier and should I add better???

I'll take any and all thoughts...just trying to sort out the "what do I really need?" questions....
