Jingleman,
Is the 16 track seq. on the GW-7 fully functional? That is to say,can you manipulate volume,pan and program #'s after you've recorded something?

Reason I ask is that the first gen EXR series were not able to do this,despite trumpeting a 16 trk sequencer and 64 poly.
I've been on my guard since then about "16 track sequencers" if you know what I mean?

Other than that,if you enjoy the GW-7's overall sound and whatnot,I don't think you need to trade up....
