thanks Sparky.
No, not with the PA1000, I haven't, but I did use the SD2 module with my previous Korg, the PA800.
Not sure whether the SD1000 is that much better or that it would fill up the void I am referring to as regards the PA1000. Besides as you may have learned from my other thread I am less in need of more equipment than in need of better circumstances to make music at all.Thanks for the suggestion though.

regards
John
