BTW, Dave... do you remember ANYTHING on the 'Yamaha Listens' questionnaires about audio drums? Did anyone have even the slightest hint that this feature was coming? Did Yamaha ever ask YOU (obviously, you consider yourself Yamaha's demographic) what you would need for audio drum loops to be a useful feature?

We got blindsided... no-one checked with US (or you, anyway!) what we needed for this feature. I don't recall anyone even ASKING for audio drum loops..! Don't recall anyone asking Yamaha to redo the button layout either, or change the screen angle to make it harder to see.

Only someone extremely partisan about their arranger brand (which no-one can accuse me of being!) can look at this and think it is Yamaha responding to users' needs... Questionnaires are only as good as the questions they ask.
