Thanks. I used a 4 pole for the first clip and 2 pole for the others. I mostly use the SH32 while sitting on the couch coming up with strange sounds since it is small and quick to program. I have yet to use it in a track though. Enjoy the KS. Make sure you get one with good pots, the KS series are notorious for ghost edit problems.

Don't scare me like this!

What sort of problem ? You had problems with yours ?

Yes, I had two KS4 keyboards from Guitar Center that I had to return. I bought a KS rack later which I believe was also released later but sold it in favor of the Nova (my KS rack was fine). They may have ironed out the pot problems prior to the KS rack's release. However, these issues were significant and on mine it was obvious because the filter saturation would go haywire and make it sound terrible. Also you may need to watch the mixer stage for the oscillators since it is far too easy to create digital distortion in your patches (present in some presets too). I'm sure replacing the offending pot would cure the ghost editing but I thought I'd warn you. The Alesis Ions had similar problems.

By the way, if you get a chance to test it, just play a multi patch for a while and watch the display. If an asterisk appears without you turning any knobs it may have a bad pot.
