Thanks a lot for posting that Mike! Even though I typically listen and write pop/trance with verse and chorus, that was still a very good example of some of the Tyros' electronic sounds. It was good!

Have any of you guys ever heard of Michael Walthius, AKA Keyboard Wizard? When I had my PSR 730 (sold it to get the CS6X a few years back) his XG MIDI files just completely blew me away.

Orion is still my favorite song of his.

I'm seriously considering selling my Triton when the PSR 3000 comes out. I really miss the inspiration I used to get from my 730. The songs I wrote back then really are much better than the ones I write today with all this 'pro' gear, with a few exceptions of course.

I see modern synths becoming more and more like arrangers too, with all the arpeggiator patterns which closely resemble styles to me! I know Cubase has become more like one with things like Groove Agent (virtual drummer) and Virtual Guitarist.

Sorry to waffle on!
