I agree beaky! I had bought my psr2000 2 days before they made a press release for the 2100. So I had sent my 2000 back and waited for this 2100. Before i sent it back i had recorded 2 songs with NO problems whatsoever. Real straitforward without any odd sounds coming in on the recordings. But no such luck with this 2100. Do both of your boards have problems beaky? I really appreciate everyones input...it would be nice to figure out how to stop the prob instead of get around it if possible. Thanks too dnj...I usually do most of my stuff on the keyboard because it makes the midi sound better than my soundblaster card on the comp. Actually...i dont use xg voices so it probably sounds awful on anything but a 2100! Beaky do you have any midis??? :-) Take care all....Larry
