3/ Any card should be 2Gb max.

Don't understand why anyone would want to use a 4 or 8Gb anyway.
You need literally hundreds of thousands of styles , performances and sounds to fill up 1Gb !!! Only if you would include masses of midifiles you would run into problems with one 2Gb card............................

Keep us posted !!

John,
I only have 8gig and higher on hand for use in my cameras. An 8 gig works in my micro, so I assumed it would work in the 500. After more hunting through the huge manual (printed on real paper!) I did find what you have said - no more than 2 gig. I'll be picking one up after work today.
Then I'll be trying out your tweaks for the 500.

Thanks for keeping up with me.
