Hi Bill

I have used my Tyros1/2 many times with other horn players and singers. The thing that will make a big difference is to most of the time knock out all horn parts at least. Sometimes I use just drums and auto bass, other times I add guitar and/or piano, once in awhile strings or something of that nature if it would be effective. But, when it comes to horn backgrounds, I tend to not use them, or only very, very sparingly once in awhile. This takes care of any muddiness, clashing horn riffs with your live players and generally the horn players will like it much better than having the horn section playing. This depends on the players some like it, some kind of, and some just downright hate canned horn sections in the background.

So, my advice to you is, just knock out the horns at least and you can have it stay that way one song after another by going into Functions and setting it to hold rather than reset for your special setting. This usually means turning off the 3 parts farthest to the right.

I'd be curious to hear how that works out for you.
