Hello Bachus and Joe H. Maybe yamaha will surprise us with some extra and very important functions in the next mid-range arranger such as: sampling, in-depth sound editing (OS1, OS2, OS3 ........ ..OS8, AND HIGH PASS FILTER, LOW PASS FILTER, etc,) integrated Audio and Midi sequencer, with audio parts editing (INSERT, CUT, ERASE, COPY, COMBINE, MIX) and finally, record all its interpretation (styles, midi and audio songs, microphone, pads) in high quality Mp3 format. This would be a technological breakthrough in the range of mid-range array keyboards. we will see more more software tools in the line of GENOS, (maybe in 4 or 5 years) but at the moment it performs very well for the current needs. Greetings Hans
