Terry,

One of the problems with written text sometimes is that you can't see where you are coming from. I honesty am not taking offence or being defensive, so if I am coming off that way, it isn't my intention. The name dropping was, for those that haven't really heard of Generalmusic products.. To give some credibility....

Before I got to play the instrument and grasp what the genesys was all about, I had the same concerns you do, polyphony, hard drive, weight, price. When I got my mind around what the genesys is all about, it was like a light turning on. Like Sk880 said, I haven't been able to out play the polyphony on the instrument, if you are recording big orchestration I could see that 64 notes maybe a little tight, so when recording, I save to disk and free up all the polyphony. The genesys is so wonderful, because it is incredibly easy to use, everyone from the beginner to the tweaker will be satisfied. This isn't going to replace a digital recording studio, nor a real band, but when you want to make music, it works simply and effortlessly.
