You know what, this thread has made me come to appreciate my beloved Trinity and Korg I30 so much. I think Korg almost had the perfect workstation with the trinity, Built in studio, Digital effects, insert effects, Hard disk, Digi out, etc etc, but for me, it lacked everything my Korg I30 has, an Arrangeer engine !! So here, this companys do this on purpose. They know that one product shall not cater to everyone, otherwise there goes their other products.
But I think that as of right now, I have the perfect setup. the powerful editing and beutiful sounds of the Trinity V3, and the Truly pro sounding Arrangements of my i30.
I have made songs, where people could swear I had a complete band recording in my studio. When I told them it was all done in my Workstation, they just could not believe me. I know this conversation is about the Tyros not having digital out, but in reality, its a conversation about why Yamaha continues the trend on why people see the Arrangers as toys and not professional products. Why, because companies like yamaha and others dont include all the Top of the line options that they include in their top of the line keyboards. Thats it really !!
Im perfectly happy recording from analog out or from Digital out. But if I had the choice, specially after forking out $3K then, I would definitely chose Digi out. Wouldnt you? Yes, of course.. The fact of the matter is that Yamaha just didnt care !!
I really hope Roland and Korg have something special up their sleeve this Winter !!!

Best,
