Hi Timor

I agree with you that a big shortcoming of the 9000Pro is the inability to load commercially available samples. Actually, you can load them after conversion to .wav format, but I do not think you can preserve the program information such as loop points. I believe all arrangers that accept samples share this weakness, with the exception of the General Music SK series. You would think Yamaha arrangers would accept A-series samples, but also no.
