Thanks again Rikki,

I'll try these things out tomorrow night. I have to keep working on getting my songs done on the 800 - I'm only at 15 so far because I'm customizing every single detail for every song. Then I practice and practice more to simulate live play....

This board is really special with its power. Sure, there could be more styles, but I'm making them work and haven't been shut out yet on needing something. As mentioned before, there is little need to use consistent fills, because of the complexity of the variations. The pads are truly terrific. I love the OTS names on the screen

If this thing will sound as good through my PA system as in the internal speakers - wow! I also think the OS is very doable for live play.

Planning to make the switch on April 1 - no kidding
