Some interesting things about how far you can go on development, but 
one must ask how far should you go before the overall sound loses its 
identity and starts to sound like anything else.  I think for those 
who own and operate these most would agree that reliability seems to 
weigh above all else.  The key element is how the sound of a Tron 
captivated us to begin with.  Everyone has heard for example the 8 
voice choir time and again. Last week I decided to bring the sampler 
along with the 400 and during one song got the urge to load the choir 
and when that chord hit people looked up.  It still hits me the same 
way it did when I first heard it years ago.  Yeah it would be nice to 
have 6 banks of sound instead of 3, but I would rather have the sound 
characteristics that makes this thing unique maybe with a bit more 
reliability.    Doug m400#703
