Thanks! The swing on each track is really cool... BTW, I'm not much a 
of a manual reader, but I might just have to start to read some...

Re: Effects... that was kinda what I though.... but didn't know how 
flexible the Sends are. It's not quite as interesting as it could be 
but being that the XX-7 has two additional pair of outs you can hook 
some external effect units to its no biggie.
