Hi Bill, thanks for the welcome. I've not had any success yet. Here's what I did. I did drop the sound down by 12 steps (per your suggestion), I was using "Concert Grand". I saved the new sound in "memory" in the sound group. I punched it up and played it - it was just what I wanted. I then went to the sequence, using program menus, selected "sequencer", then selected "record and edit", then selected "step record". I cursored over to the first "event" (asterisk) and erased the sound that was there, then went to my "concert grand" sound, pressed it and heard the beep that the sound had been replaced. I then saved it (to a floppy), loaded it, but it was the same piano as before. Obviously I'm missing s step or something.
