I suspect you might be right about going for a full hard case - I was 
shying away from it not so much through cost but more because I'm not 
sure I have anywhere to store it! But I guess it could fit under the 
bed so I'll look into it..

That's a shame! I guess then there's probably not much to be gained 
from the SDS facility unless you have a really troublesome loop and 
need to see the waveform on screen...

I suppose you could also load samples from other manufacturers 
librarys... the latest Akai's use .WAVs I believe. But again, the 
amount of time and effort involved might make this impractical. Has 
anyone ever tried it?
