Thanks everyone for your responses... Also I completely understand where everyone is coming from with PC sequencing. I have no dislikes about that set up, but I don't want to have to power up a PC everytime I want to record. There are a lot of good programs out there for that I know wouldn't give me any real limitations in length, but as someone stated earlier there's always the options of upgrades.. That's how it is with this Fostex. I'm not limited to the 128mb card... I can upgrade to any size I so choose, and here's the best part. FOSTEX SUPPORTS THEIR EQUIPMENT!!!!!! They recently released an OS upgrade for this unit free to all owners.. It's on their website and all you have to do is hook it up to your computer via USB, and that's it...

Fran,
You're right about the bounce feature. That's why I'm buying this.. If it didn't have a bounce or as they use to say "ping pong" feauture, I wouldn't buy the things. When I get the 256mb card it's going to be crazy in my home.. Because I'll have 50 minutes for one song Anyways computer based sequencing is a great way to record, but sometimes I'd rather not fire up the computer to record a song. This unit has complete, and I mean complete and total hands on control.. Every function has a botton or knob on the face.. No menues or anything.. It's such an easy unit to use...

Cheers,
Squeak
