ScottL: Thanks for your detailed report. In light of your review, I would have thought you would have opted to KEEP the Midjay, and instead, sell your Yamaha PSR3000. This would leave you with the Tyros & Midjay, each having uniquely different sounds & styles to expand your music making possibilities, with the ales proceeds from the PSR3000 to buy a lightweight keyboard controller, providing you the ultra light keyboard/arranger module combo for super ez gig transport you've been so long searching for.

My personal reservation about the Ketron MidJay is that it utilizes a "duo function" per button approach, meaning the SAME button triggers something entirely different depending on the mode it's currently set to. I would find this chaotic to deal with, especially in a live performance situation where I don't want to have to keep track of the specific function each button is currently assigned to. My other reservation is the inconvenient logistics of a module's placement & far away view of the module's LCD screen, positioned behind (away) from the keyboard controller, and less easily accessible than a traditional all in one arranger affords. Curious if you noticed this when compared to playing your Tyros and/or PSR3000. I guess all these things are part of the trade-off to consider to gain the MidJay's impressively live sounding drums and other unique features.
