Donny, I still enjoy writing tunes...so playing with a decent backing band is pleasure for me. The sd40 fills that role as well. I know this is a potential over reaction on my part, but to be honest...I like this dual stereo output option. I like the idea of outputting drums through their own stereo output. I’ve always felt arrangers bury drums and getting them to kick through the mix takes effort. I’m lazy in that regard. This is not an option that many care about, but it has always made sense to me.

The sd40 does make mixing easy with the individual knobs, so as I say...I may be over reacting. But, I’ve always had a soft spot for Yamaha...and with the new upgrades offered with the sx900...it does put a little pain in the pit of my stomach. Of course...it could just be acid reflux.
