Midnight: I do not wanna buy Motif simply because it's not an arranger. And yes, Motif has way better features than any arranger right now.
You might wanna say that I can't get everything in one box. True. But can it be done? yes. Will I pay for an arranger Motif for $5000? Oh yes. And it's not only because of digital I/O. It's because of a good sequencer, ability to add cards with sounds, arppegiator, AWESOME drum kits, real-time effects, you can tweak the sound any way you want, great support (just look at motifator.com), I can go on more on that. Do not tell me you wouldn't want all that. I just hope Yamaha would read this message instead of yours who just simply saying: OK, dont have this or that and too much $$$ for Tyros, but it's OK with me, don't even bother putting whats a MUST....
I'm sure Tyros is a good machine, but it doesn't mean we can't mention what we would want in it.
