hello list,.. a few quick q's

1)overall, are you happy with the sounds compared to other synths?

2)can cubase or other sequencer access patches from the expand boards at the same time as the normal patches? for exmp: midi chan#1bass/#2piano/#3organ/#4techno sound/#5session sounds/6#orchestrl etc?

3)is it the same as a xp60 without the sequencer...are the effects different?

4)overall,..is it a good quality product or more like an entry level synth

5)can you save patch tweaks to the bank/patch# it's at or only to the smartmedia cards?are the factory presets permanant?is there a user bank?

I currantly have a childs toy(yamaha psr500) and anything is better but I want a good synth and can only afford one. I want to be happy with it for years to come and give me lots of sounds and patches that are tweakable and shapeable. thanks, morphyx
