Hey Donny,

I'll share with you my experience with outboard sound modules. I've got the Edirol SD-90 here at work as my outboard soundcard and midi sound device. Once in a while, I'll bring it home and connect it to my WK8 via a midi cable. Midi files, of course, work fine and I like the additional sounds. Playing the keyboard straight-up (no styles) works great too. But when I play a style or use the arranger function, the drumkits used in the styles are found on channel 9 and I have to manually go into the Edirol and change it...Every time I pick a different style. I suppose there's a midi control that the keyboard could send to the Edirol to tell it to use channel 9 for drums, but I haven't found it. So bottom line for me is, I just reach over and turn the volume down on the Edirol when I'm playing styles.

I see a lot of specific Tyros midi files using both track 9 and 10 for drums. I wonder if the Tyros' styles are setup the same way, two (or more) drumkits on separate channels.

I definitely agree with you about the want (or need) for a Tyros module or Korg PaX1Pro module. And Korg, when you make that PaX1 module, could you include the dual sequencers with cross fader? Thank you!
