Hi,
good to hear there are other instrument players who have seen the light in the form of workstations. creating backing tracks is much easier when using an external sequencer like cakewalk especially if you are not a keyboard player. I am running cakewalk version 3.01 which is from 1994 (seriously!!) And even knowing all the functions of the XP60 (and as you know there are many!!!) You can unleash far more of the sound editing options from cakewalk etc.. Good luck with song writing! I am always happy to hear other peoples work if you need a second opinion
