The creation of new registrations threw me off a bit at first too Don. I finally got the hang of it though. I have to think a little more in terms of actual computer functions I think when saving files or accessing certain things on this board. Still, I find it for me a bit easier to operate than the PA80 though. I had to read a lot of the rather lengthy manual to be able to get around on the PA80 and still sometimes occasionally I have to go back to the manual because at times it can baffle me a bit. I'm a musician, not a computer tech and although I understand computers ok and have a good basic working knowledge of them and midi stuff in particular, at times I can get thrown off when all I want to do is play music( almost brings back flashbacks of the Star Trek line, " Damnit, I'm a doctor Jim " ).

I've barely touched the 2000 manual yet and I can already use all of its features without a hitch. Even though it has many more functions than the 740 did, and things operate somewhat differently, I still understand the way Yamaha has things laid out better I guess.
