Tony!
Why don't you use the Audya? Is it because it "locks up" when you play it? Don plays his 4 hours every day, and I use mine just as much, and I have never had one "lock up" during playing, I have made over 200 regs. using lots of different sounds, I use the FS13 switch board and I'm stepping on those switches all the time, never let me down so far. What I mean, if it "locks up" for you all the time, there must be something wrong with you KB, some kind of problem that's not on my (or Don's)KB.
Just wondering. BTW can't quite figure out that "count down" thing.
