Uncle Dave,
You mention that the VA7 has greatly improved Styles. But it seems that they are less flexible than the EM 2000.
I like to gradually build up my backing patterns (including drum tracks) so as to be more progressive and relistic. After seeing the specs of the VA7 it looks like it doesn't have this option.
Please advise if I,m wrong.
Also,do you think it was wise of Roland to replace the EM2000 with such a different instrument as the VA7.
