I have only questions to add to your questions, Shouryu (are you ever
going to tell us your real first name? John? Jim? Jerry? Julius?)
-- sorry I can't help you with the MA20. I've been lamenting for some
time now the modifications that Seiko has made to the DM-20, because
the original version of this metronome was so simple and perfect. Now
they've altered the casing and stylized the stupid thing with extra
plastic, destroying the perfect credit card-like thinness that made
the unit such a hot seller in the first place. Bring back Old Coke!
The DM-10 still has the old profile, but it lacks the subdivision ca-
pabilities of the 20, which is why I never bothered with it. Does the
Korg MA20 look like the old Seiko DM20?

Thanks,
Neil
