As Scott Yee rightly puts, the Midjay is the best for midi files, kar, MP3 etc but I got the feeling that gib wanted to stand behind a keyboard when I typed to him on MSN rather than just using a module with no keys like the Midjay. For that reason I recommended the Tyros2 as he doesn't need 76 notes if he isn't going to play it and the way the Tyros 2 displays the lyrics, has easy to operate functions for changing tempo, sounds, muting tracks etc. and not forgetting a mighty fine set of GM/GS... sounds it seems the best way to go for him.
