Thanks Fran, I contacted the author of Session Manager but he never replied. Seems Diki doesn't want to answer either since I've sent him a few messages too. I'm willing to even go with an E-80 since I won't be moving it around much; so session manager may work for what I want to do as long as I can organize everything in some formal order so I can find the items I need easily. If I can setup the MusicAssistant DB with what I want, load it up and address it from my PC as it says in each of the manuals, I should be fine. Still not sure how I can address UPGs this way except if they were in the MADB. I also haven't found whether the MADB on the G-70 and E-80 is changeable like on the BK - say you have several Performance Lists which can be selected from a list and pulled into the same memory block to be addressed. BK does use the same memory block for each as John from UK had pointed out on another forum and it shows this in the manual. Great that the author is looking at making SessionManager usable with the BK - it may help a lot. If that comes about, I may go with the BK since it's easier on the pocket - control it from my Motif XS7.

There's several G-70s on EBay right now but they've got them priced too high - over $2300 each. That's much higher than what I paid for mine and definitely even more so than what Diki paid when he bought it. I think Manuel still has the boxed one but sure he'll be kind of high on it too. If I go with either G-70 or E-80 - gonna have to sell off my T3 first but I need to be sure I can work all this out before I do sell since that one is working with this method now. I don't want to be stuck with a board which I will have the same issues I had before...I still feel strongly I can work this all out like you and Diki had said before. It's just going to take time and access to people who know those screens to help document these beasts. That was the problem before, I had no access to some one who can help when I needed it. Wife is retired now, so she has more time - not technical though.
