Jose:

Thanks for sharing your music.  Well done!  With regards to percussion, the XS' 
congas and bongos sound very nice.  I think yamaha could have done better with 
the timbales though.

You did a very nice job with the horns.  The trombones are quite good.

I just sent the song to your private e-mail.  I use the on-board horns.  I 
sequence using Sonar, not using the board, but do set all of the instruments 
directly on the board, not by sending program change messages.  I have a 
template for each style of music I do most communly: salsa, merengue, bachata, 
cumbia, and baledes.  Whenever I’m going to do a sequence, I load the 
appropriate empty song on to the board and send only the other data.  I don’t 
want Sonar selecting my voices.  I must shamefully admit that I’m using Sonar 
2.2.  that’s not a typo, it’s really two point two.  It works great for me, and 
I prefer to spend my time making music than configuring new versions of 
software.  I do have an XS instrument definition file for Sonar, but don’t feel 
the need to install it.

Jose:
I would also be very interested in listening to your tracks.  I have been 
playing salsa for many years now.  I have only been using the XS at home with 
Sonar for four months.  I have spent most of my time though in learning how to 
use Sonar.  So, I don't know much about the XS functions and potential yet.  I 
must say that as a piano player I am quite happy with the piano sounds of the 
XS.  What I am disappointed with are the brass sounds that come with the board. 
 So, if you are getting a better sound out of them or using an expansion 
library, I would like to see how those sound.
