Thanks, AJ, for the reply.

I played around with a WK1800 for a while, before "gifting" it, and liked the simplicity of use of it. I found that the main drawback with the workstation concept of the WK was the inability to store external sysex onto the floppy, like a MIDI data filer, or the popular high-end workstations.

The MZ2000 seems to have the same type of ease of play layout for live performance, and it has a ton of cool arranger features, but shortfalls in the MIDI implementation would keep it out of studio use.

Thanks again.
