Mac, I checked out the Ketron SD2 and it sounds like something I would really like but since both hubby and I are retired and I'm no longer bringing in any money with my music, I'm afraid that I just can't justify the expense just for my personal pleasure especially with the economic situation the way it is. But thanks for expanding my horizons a bit. It would be so nice if money were no object but living on social security checks does have it's challenges.

Jakob,
I certainly agree on the VSC for live use. I've used it for so long that now making changes seems so difficult. Of course all changes are more difficult as one gets older which I think is a lot of my problem. In changing over to Windows 7, it's like unlearning everything I knew and having to learn new ways to work. It was supposed to be easier but it's not for me. My files are in such a mess from trying to transfer from back-ups and such that I fear I may have to just go back and start from scratch.
