Friends.

The latency with Tyros/Tyros2 is not in the actual voice selection (when you make a selection using the screen buttons A-J). To understand what others are complaining about, try the following...

* Turn on your keyboard (Tyros, G70, SD1Plus, Genesyes ...etc).
* When it completely boots up, perform the following...
** Usually the default voice group selected is PIANO.
** Press STRINGS and see how long it takes from the instant you press the strings button to the time the string voices are actually displayed on the screen for you to make a selection (using the buttons to the side of the screen).
** Now press ORGAN and see how long it takes for the organ voices to be displayed on the screen for selection.

I have done this at the lab and this is what I came up with (using the units here).

In the case of ...
TYROS2 - it appears about 1/2 a second goes by before the voices are displayed on the screen.
G70 - close to instant.
PA1X (if within the same bank, close to instant. If in another bank, about 1/2 a second).
SD1Plus - close to instant.
Genesys - close to instant.
PSR3000 -close to instant.

I think this is the latency in question (please correct me if I am wrong). The PSR3000 appears to have a quicker 'screen response' than the Tyros!
