Yamaha CS80

Thanks - it's not necessarily better, but certainly entails smaller 
file sizes and completely ubiquitous editing application i.e. Word, 
Notepad, etc.  Also, arguably, it's easier to read & go set your 
attack time 60% between notches 3&4 than take the extra step of 
implicitly interpreting that from a picture and then making the 
setting.

I looked back at the couple patches I took down this way after I got 
the keyboard - by far the best one was not completely listed - seem 
to have skipped voice #2.  So maybe I'm a worthless idiot after all 
(don't answer that).

That could work. : )
