Thanks rEalm - 

but again just to be clear (even for my own understanding) the function 
that you refer to is for naming only - the alphnumeric keypad thing as 
it is currently employed will not work for entering parameter values.(? 
correct?)

I would love to see this: hitting 2 buttons (tba - for ex. Track/enable 
+ Preset or?) simultaneously changes playpads C - A to 0-9; A# is (-); 
B is (+) and high C is ENTER - which also functions as EXIT 
alphanumeric mode and return to playpad mode.

The E4 has the backup option of being able to plug in a QWERTY keyboard 
as an alternative to the wheel. But the Command stations have those 
great pads just waiting to be fully exploited.

Just a thought - but a lifesaver if the wheel goes down at the wrong 
time - and a much easier way of switching patterns for live use (you 
come to understand intuitively that (C-E-E + hi C) means "044" etc.

But hey I am not complaining - I LOVE the XL7 it is a killer machine 
that I am sure will continue to improve with time.
