How Do You Tell What Version Yamaha A3000 You Have
I've found some info in a Sound on Sound article for a feature to look for that will be absent if I've got the V1, but is there a simple way to check? The system pages don't seem to have this info for some reason.

edit:
Saw this on Harmony Central:
"The new A3000 with the Version 2.0 Operating System features full 64-note polyphony, 16-part multitimbral, three effect blocks (54 effect types), 4-band total EQ, four analog outputs and expandability to 128 MB of sampling RAM. The unit will have a suggested retail price of $1,995 and is currently shipping."
I upgraded the RAM on this thing as soon as I got it, to 128MB and it's reading it all. Would think I can assume that I've got the V2 OS installed but not 100% sure as I can't find details on what the V1 RAM limit is.
From Sound on Sound:
"An overdue addition, and something that really should have been included in Version 1, is an input level meter on both the Recording-Standby and Recording-in-Progress pages. There's also a new Map function that will automatically map a series of recorded samples across a keyboard or place them into a bank."
I'll have to check that when I get home.
Any other ideas how to check?
