@hsir;
Yes, good idea for the reverb per slot but sometimes, a general reverb is ok, I concur with Spider, it's a stage/live product. Even in your home studio, using too many different reverbs is unproductive compared to one genral reverb...For more layers for the samples, sometimes, when I play alone preparing a song, the brasses seem a little bit unatural, those from the XV5080 as well, but when I play it live, everyone tell me "whooa, how good the brass was...". Same thing for the pan feature or the pitchbend, we have so many threads about people playing mono versus stereo that a pan might not even be heard live...
For piano and sample memory, I was disapointed to see that I was not able to load all the samples I wanted and not to have all the piano, but finally, I'm not even using all the samples that are loaded and with the 2 XL piano that I have, I'm ok, in fact...
In fact, I have enough other gear to compliment the few weaknesses of the Stage 2 and sometime, it's even a question of which one will play which part, so, I might not be the best to propose updates for the Stage 2...
My concern is that now in Canada it's 5000 CAN$, I paid mine in January 2011 4000 CAN$ and it starts to be very expensive, if you put more and more and make it a big "do it all/Stage/Workstation/best VA/best Real Analog etc...you will have a keyboard that will be out of the market pricewise...
