Well, for a little amusement (very little) let me reply to my own post. Do NOT buy the RD700 if you're hoping to sequence to a computer! Forget it!
This is a great keyboard for live performing, terrific sounds, great feel to the hammer-graded keyboard. BUT, like many Roland keyboards it is NOT friendly to being sequenced to a computer! (And has no sequemcer on board either.) I returned mine. Back to my Ensoniq ZR76 when I need to sequence to my PC. Too bad. The RD700 sounds and feels great!
