I agree with Squeak. I prefer to sequence using the instrumemt itself and not a computer. Whichever way you prefer to sequence it cannot possibly add anything to the weight or the cost of the instrument and they already have the software developed in previous models so i dont understand the reasoning for not including it. All its ommission does is alienate parts of the market that need/want it. The specs overal of the Audya are very impressive and i am looking forward to more demos . AJ indicates that the patterns can be fuly edited which might be good workaround in terms of a sequencer if all you wanna do is loop or chain loops together but its no help for straight pure linear sequencing unfortunately.
