-  Stability and fast response, since the new OS came out, this thing 
is  rock solid timing wise, especially nice as you get 128 note 
polyphony too, double the 505s :)

****
Cool, so not experiencing the dropped note problems like the 5o5?

- BRN lamp socket makes it easy to see what you're doing on stage in 
the dark.  Although I know how much you like the dark, so you may not 
want this.  Your groupies may not be able to pass for 21 anymore if 
it's bright enough in the clubs too...

****
Awww, i'm glad you get to act cool in front of your new friends over 
here :)  Its sad that you're still jealous of my bitches...
****

- Kick ass pads for note input, I wish Emu would make a full size 
keyboard with those pads instead keys, I'd buy one in a heartbeat...

****
How is it for actual note playing?  Or is it just better for drum 
work?
****

- No onboard storage, so if you get to the gig and find out you need 
to reload a pattern or Presets in a rare accident, you're screwed 
unless  you've got a laptop with E-Loader installed.

****
Huh, kind of surprised on that one.  No storage options at all?  That 
one may scare me off because i've learned not to trust gear before 
shows...
****

- Less editing options than the 505, no groove quantize (the shuffle 
is very musical though), all recording is currently done in an 
Overdub mode (versus Replaced).

****
Never used groove, so not to worried there, but not sure i follow 
what you mean by overdub mode.  What other features are missing that 
i might feel are missing?
****

Thanks,
klown
