First off, thanks for the note tie assistance everyone.

Secondly, has anyone had a chance to work PatchPro (The P2k series
patch editor/librarian)?  Any thoughts anyone would care to offer on it?

And finally..........

> yeah dont get me wrong this is a beautiful machine that outshines
> almost anything.

WHOA THERE!  Now here I thought I was the largest Command Station
supporter in the world (one of my musical partners would probably tell
people that at least), but that statement goes even beyond where I've
ever dared to venture! *LoL*

Actually been a CS owner for about 4 or 5 years now, just never
bothered with attempting to do ties in grid mode.

In any regard, as far as ROMplers go, I'd definately go as far to say
that the P2k series synth engines were work horses and still are even
by todays standards.  I'd also go as far to say that I think it's
sequencer is great and my favorite when (that I've worked with) when
it comes to hardware sequencers (though I often hear more praise
towards the RM1X/RS7000 in this regard; which I've never worked with
either).

But I don't know I'd ever go as far to say that the Command Station
"outshines almost anything"....and man....I even went as far as to
pick up to of the beasties.

Really strong ROMplers, and the only ROMpler I've seen to take such a
modular approach (though one may argue that the Kurzweil VAST
architecture was somewhat of a modular approach).  But hell, in
certain departments this CS can't hold a candle to other things,
largely due to it's nature.  You can't expect it to act like some
Analouge or VA beastie, toss any idea of FM synthesis out the window,
don't look for getting the organic/modulative nature of a transwave
synthesis, you're hoplessly stuck if you want to really dig into
wavetable synthesis, etc.  

Whoa man.....I feel like I just knocked on the Command
Station......now that's weird.
