I would be curious to know if the VS840 even 'scrubs' at all.  Does 
anybody know if the 840, 880, 1680 or 1880 have scrubbing as a 
feature?  I was under the assumption that they did not.  That you had 
to locate points (on the 880/1680 at least) by looking at the 
waveform on the display.

If anybody knows (for sure), please post or email me privately.  This 
feature is one of the important ones for me and will guide my 
decision to purchase either the Roland, or the Akai 16 track, or the 
Yamaha 4416 sometime next year.

or, god knows what they'll release within 9-12 months.  A 48 track? 
that makes cappucino?

best,
