Just wondering,yamaha users seem to be the grumpiest out of the whole musician population(from the ones i've met anyway!),what really gets your brain veins thumping when it comes to problems and limitations with your yamaha kit?
Personally I find the knobs on their samplers are a farce,and the engineer that came up with idea should be shot,whats worse is the fact that this problem has always been around and yamaha have done absolutely nothing to fix it in their newer samplers.

all the other functions such as loading samples and editing them ect... are still done with the nobs on the front pannel, and thats still a pain in the arse, but hey at least i can control some things wit me blue baby (S/N). Another alternative would b 2 buy an external midi controler (kenton control freak or something like that) or better still use the included XG Edit software to control the A4000 from your PC (or Mac), mabe you can set up an external midi controler to control the XG Edit software (by using midi cc's) although i haven't tryed this.

Yeah Yamaha seems a bit hit-and-miss over the quality of it's gear. Fuckin' hell, the other day I had a quick go on one of those Yamaha DJ box things, uh, whatever they're called, with the CD you can stratch with... ohmygod, what a load of shite! Seems to have the same knobs as the A3000!!!
Imagine it if Yamaha made their quad bikes the same way. Almost killed myself on one of them once. Er..

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

Nevermind, I went with the e4 and have similar issues - quite how the buttons on this started to fail after 18 months and yet the microswitches on my playstation controller are still going strong after 4 years despite getting a complete hammering is beyond me.
Seems to be a problem in general with electronic music equipment (I`ve had probs with waldorf too), I think its symptomatic of the way the markets gone - they`re not professional instruments any longer, more consumer goods.
