ok, i haven't read the entire manual yet, but i have came to a section telling that the presets should work right off. that's when i jumped and tried them, and not having them all work made me think something was bad. i guess i figured that the presets themselves couldn't be overwritten and were stored on the rom permanently along with the waveforms themselves.

so, i have done as you suggested and the sounds worked! but, i only have 1-8 working, not 1-16 as you say you have. maybe a difference in the models? i confess i do need to read the rest of the manual, but i have actually looked for this info and didn't find much about it.

at any rate, thanks for your help.
