Congrats Al,

Maybe I'm next. The thing has great sounds based on what I'v heard so far. I'm thinking I'd miss 40 or so of the PA80 styles, and some of the superb synth voices, but not so much else. I think I used to be fairly handy at converting them, so I'd at least wanna give it a fair shot.

I'm leaning toward the T2 again too. I played the AJ2006 arranger live the other night. It's very easy to actually play and change variations, so it worked fine. The lead voices are incomparable, but I still haven't found an all in one GM solution for the styles, and navigating to change styles and voices isn't as intuitive as using a hardware arranger. I'm thinking about the time I might spend making a new and higher quality soundfont, I could probably work enough OT in that time spent doing that to actually pay for a Tyros 2, and then since I bring the laptop everywhere anyway, so I can still setup B4 for better organs, and a couple of analog softsynths, etc for the highest quality of lead voices.
