currently I am using the VA-7 patch list, which is getting me by.
I sequence and set midi file sounds on cakewalk, it is a pain if you are creating a sequence without the sounds you envisage. to find when you transfer the song to the unit it is not what you expected, or sounds totaly crummey.
there is a need for a cakewalk patch map, I agree sometimes cakewalk is not necessary, but say you are doing a guitar lick and you are doing a bend, it is nice to hear what it will sound like before you continue.
