Hi Trevor,
I've been thinking of getting an inexpensive psr type keyboard as a controller. Though I'm more inclined to go for the 76 note of the dgx for slightly more portability. Unfortunately I need a USB connection to my laptop and psr450/550 don't have that so that leaves them out.
Just out of interest how does it stack up against your Tyros soundwise? ie if you listened to it through the same set of speakers. Also from what I've read, the styles only have 1 intro/ending plus 2 variations & fills ( not a problem for me)
I actually sold all my expensive arrangers and decided to go the software route like (Frank, flr). So I've been using OMB software with the xg sounds in my Yamaha CLP170 Piano . Now I'm swapping my sound source for the styles to the Edirol Hypercanvas softsynth.
I've been thinking if I actually got something like the dgx, I may be able to use it for triggering the styles and use the
laptop/hypercanvas as a sound module.
best wishes
Rikki

I have just acquired a Yamaha DGX 505 88 note keyboard and it really is a remarkable bit of kit for the money. It is mainly a piano but still has many of the Tyros styles and sweet voices. I bought it mainly for practice at home to save setting up the Tyros but I shall be sorely tempted to use it on some gigs as well.
