Yup - it still has that weird sustain deal going on. Manual mode it too tricky unless you can transpose the affected notes to suit the song. I use it on the s-950 sometimes .... it's a acceptable workaround for now, but it's not where I need to be. PA900 should be out in early Fall (I hope), so I'll experiment with other options around the audio input scenario - the vocals are number one priority in my world, the rest is gravy.
