Hehe, also see this image in the gallery

i think they have found a solution for that...
Like making it possible to arrange the music in different styles.

The look of the player is good in my opinion

It's a good idea to make an option for a keyboard or something and a TFT

Maybe it's possible I'll ask the salesman ( vertegenwoordiger!) tomorrow.

Have anyone used this?, and if so, is it possible to change the HD?

I'm thinkin of buyin one to minimize my Equipment needs.

No lap top, or bulky cdp, tts, or mixers for that matter
