From the OS 2 manual addendum:
"Because Flash RAM has a finite number of write operations before
it goes bad, the Command Station will not allow you to manually compact
when there is more than 100K bytes of compacted memory remaining."

This got me *really* worried. 

How many read/write cycles will the Flash RAM endure before it fails 
and make a Command Station unusable? Will a XX-7 be still usable 10
years from now without having to seek for replacement parts, or is it
just a disposable synth? Floppies were cool after all...

And still no function to SWAP tracks inside a pattern in OS 2.0 for,
say, timing priority purpose? 

Oh well... Thanks anyway. :)
