[Apologies if there's an FAQ, but I haven't seen it.

I'm a fairly new user, having moved up from my XP-10, to the RS-9.

I'm having a lot of trouble with voices cutting out. I know that the RS sounds (RS string, RS piano) use up a lot of voices. But I get a lot more cutting out than I use to get with my XP-10 with only 28 voice polyphony, and I don't understand why. Yes, I can use standard piano and strings, but I'm still dropping voices left and right. Any advice appreciated.

I was formerly using MOTU's Freestyle for sequencing, and there doesn't seem to be a profile for it. What do y'all use for low-coast sequencing. I have Cakewalk Express, but it produces lots of spurious tones, and hangs often when used with the RS.

If I want to link in my XP-10, how would I do it using MIDI cables?

Is there an FAQ for RS-9 users?
So far I haven't been that happy with the instrument. 88 keys is great, and the touch is nice, but this voice-dropping problem is annoying. I'm also not that pleased with the sounds. Guitars particularly all sound staccato--they "thunk", instead of "twang". I've messed with a lot of settings trying to get a decent sounding acoustic guitar, but so far to no avail.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
