As well as the USP port on the front, that Mike points out, I noticed the following:

1. There is an additional button to the left of the MultiPads

3. I assume the one to the left of the Song Control Area is a relocated Guide or DEMO button.
4. There is an additional button to the left of the old Registration Bank button.
5. The OTS buttons have been moved.
6. There are an additional 5 buttons in the old MENU area



So much of it is so similar that the two could easily be mistaken in my opinion. I think maybe Yamaha had to do the clipped wing thing as an obvious way for people to tell the difference. Structurally they could have done much better by completely re-vamping the look without the afterthought of giving it angled edges so people could eventually tell the difference between the two. If this Board is truly "revolutionary" why not make it look radically different than their current model?

Oh.. and I would sure like to know what those new buttons are too. I'm presuming the 5 new buttons in the Old Menu area have something to do with the 'new' Mega Voice technology which supposedly will allow the User to play them in a live context without the trepidation of playing the current ones. Possibly something like Rolands "Piano" button where from any other Voice menu pressing these buttons will instantly give access to the various group of Mega Voices?? But don't quote me on that.

Best regards,
Mike
