Thanks for your reply, Ingo. I would really appreciate it if you
take the time to check yours and see if it responds the same way.

I don't think the problem is priority. Most of my digital synths
use last note priority, while older analog synths, like my minimoog,
are low note priority. Both work fine. I've tried high note
priority on my G2, and that would take a little getting used to.

The big problem is that if happen to bump against a wrong note, or
do a grace note slightly after the target note, or any of several
other common jazz/blues/rock keyboard techniques, you will lose
notes. It forces you to play in a certain way that other synths
don't.

Anyway, enough griping. Please let me know if your 190 does the
same thing. Thanks.
