Fran,
one should be able to do the following with easy access dedicated controls: fade in/out,
bass on/off, drums on/off, acc on/off. E60
gives us a choice of ONE on the D-beam at hand, makes you go into menu to switch to another. ridiculous. You can access the fade thru the V-Link button but there again you only have that ONE choice (not that anything else in that button is great shakes)

No kb is perfect, nobody is talking perfection here. Just utility. I am a heavy user of the tap tempo button, more than all of u because u set up pre-tempoed registrations and i never do. ever. And i have long experience w/Korg/Technics which have ACCURATE taps that work on 2-3 taps!!.part of the problem is they require 4 w/Roland. The tempo comes out exactly only by chance, most of the time it is not QUITE right where u want it..close, no cigar.
