Today I upgraded my DCP with the most recent versions of firmware and modeling algos. This time I do see a marked improvement. The presets were limited to 20 in the prior release, but they now go up to 26 with the upgrade. The 6 new presets are called 'Fat Series' and they seem to be a measure to address past comments regarding an overall 'thinness' of the tones in general. At this point I would guess that the quantity of presets will continue to increase opening up many more possibilities. I still love the feel of this instrument - happy to own it.

These things are a joy to play. The feel is great. The sounds are, well..pretty good. I downloaded Gen-16's first firmware upgrade and really saw little or no improvement. I guess I feel that they really could have jammed a bit more into that silver-box controller with the pretty blue lights. Be careful of misinformation regarding the Gen-16 "Vault" being compatible with AE. This is false.
