thanks all...

Fran, you're right those EPs are great. some I recognize the names from Fantom days...

looks like there's no way to update this board via the Roland Axial thing -- is that right?

I sure wish Roland would apply its excellent DSP stuff (VR 09, FA series) to an arranger. 1 or 2 assignable knobs like korg even would be great. even the Casio has that! do you EA7 owners generally like the effects and the ease of applying/changing them?

thanks
