  1. I wonder what sort of device specific software is used for managing the samples (if any). Yamaha frequently gives Mac users the finger when it comes to software.

  2. Maybe this is finally the answer for the drummer / band in a live situation to have percussion/effects as well as triggering snares from an acoustic kit. The "pad tap tempo" is a first I believe which would be killer in a vintage rock 70's 80's band cover band. Any drummers/bands doing this?
