On the Technics 2000 you can first do an easy recording(arranger etc.) and then add solo instruments to the open tracks. As I will soon have my PSR-9000 I would like to know if the same is possible on the Yamaha.On the Technics you do not have to save to disk at all (if you so desire)....is this possible on the Yamaha as well? I did download the Handbook but find it a bit difficult to follow on the PC. Cant wait any more........wish it was here already..all because of this wonderful forum and sound advice...Thanks to all...hein
