ROFL @ Uncle Dave,

Wow! What a relief. I thought I had put my neck on the line there only to find that what I took for a SCZI port would indeed turn out to be for connecting the electric heater for cold Christmas gigs :-)

BTW uncle Dave the VA7 sounds good but don't make me want want one when I have only just parted with me hard earned for the EM :-) I will get into sooo much trouble if I start hinting about the VA7 (Well at least before Christmas) :-))

I tried out the KN6000 when I was still undecided and the scat/vocal voices were truly awesome. Would you say the VA7's are better?

I have always had technics stuff before but it was the price of the EM compared to that of the KN6000 that finally persuaded me to try Roland. Compared to the 5000 I have to say that so far I am not at all dissapointed. For the price the Zip drive is a wonderful tool when you consider what it would cost to get a hard drive fitted to the 6000.

Anyway enough of my rambling.
TTFN
Tony
