Ted, I think that's just an overlook in the software, because I agree with you - the chord sounds full, even though the screen shows a different name. When I first set up the instrument, I left it on the setting (EASY1) because it seemed to work OK. I just switched it to EASY3, and the readout is more correct, but to honest - I'm not sure I hear a difference yet. I'll address this more as I get more comfortable with this OS. Thanks for watching!

Wow! I looked at the manual and it doesn't even mention "Easy3." Maybe AJ can explain each of the modes, and what the differences are. I've been stalking this because the SD40 is attractive to me. But this is the kind of stuff I want to know!

These are things I'm hoping more processing power will eliminate in the upgrades. Some sounds are more memory intense than others, and I need to find, and identify the memory hogs so I know to treat them more gently when making fast changes. Still not happy with the balance - my mindset is in living room mode, and I just can't give it my full attention till I have an audience for play off of. This was recoded direct to the SD7's internal recorder. I turned down the level 1 or 2 clicks.
