Hi Scott,

I appreciate your kind words on my music...thank you.

My preference for the 3k/S900 probably has to do with several issues.

I am not a big fan of multiple layered voices, having developed a style of my own where less is more, and the stacking of two voices is plenty for my kind of arrangements.

The Tyros, and especially the Tyros2 are heavy(for me) and don't have built in speakers (a necessity for me) and the T2 was unable to fit in my Honda Accord when it was in a soft shell case.

I never really tried to make the 3k sound like the Tyros, but rather enjoyed the instrument for its own sound and merits.

I will probably treat the PSR-S900 the same way...its certainly not a Tyros2, but it does have terrific SA voices and it does have a certain quality of sound that I really like.

All the best,

Your buddy,

Ian
