I set up a friends Tyros(which I may end up with anyway...against my better judgement)to use the sub outs as a separate mix for the bass and drums. He likes to send bass to one channel of his mixer, and drums to another. Sounds like aux outs to me.
Mike,
Is there something about this configuration that baffles you? They work like the additional outputs on everything else. You can assign any thing to them for a more specific mix. That's the way I would expect them to work.

Dave, yes you can route "individual" parts through the Sub Outs but can you run the "whole" Mix through them? Like you can with the Aux Outs on the PSR 2000/2100. The 'whole' enchilada?? Now you're making me hungry... Individual parts and the whole ball of wax are two different things. That reminds me, I've got to ream out my ears too.

PS: The Aux Sends cannot be used for that purpose either.

Having traditional Aux Outputs are a Godsend IMO for their ability for Monitoring purposes. Having Near Fields along with the internals and besides that you still would have the Mains you could use; makes Monitoring, Mixing, and the eventual Mastering of your work easier and more precise IMO. But in order to do that you need the 'whole' enchilada in the Mix. Man, I'm glad lunch time is just around to corner.
Best regards,
Mike
