Hey Scotty I sympathize with you because I also own the PSR 2000 and experience the same problems with mine. It's interesting though that the KN 6000 you owned exhibited no such idiosyncrasy. Why not spring for the new KN 7000? It has almost every feature the Tyros has, ie., 128 note polyphony, over 1200 high quality voices, no hard drive but it does have a disk drive plus SD Card storage capabilites soon to be 1 gigabyte in capacity, and internal speakers too:-). It weighs in at 38.8 pounds but if you get a carrying case with wheels it should be no problem weight wise when you go mobile. I am not sure how good the acoustic Grand Piano voice is. The demos that I've heard do not really give a clue. It has 64 MB of sound ROM expanable to 128 MB! It doesn't have a 3rd Layer voicing capability, ie., Main, R1, R2 like the Tyros just R1 R2 and Left which is a bit disappointing unless I'm mistaken. Maybe the Main is taken for granted when they say just R1, R2 in their spec sheet. It does have a 16 track sequencer though plus a Composer function. Here are the inputs/outputs: PPhones, Line Out (R/R+L, L), Line In (R/R+L, L),
Sub Out (1, 2) Mic Input, Foot Switch (1, 2), Video Out, USB
Foot Controller, Expression Pedal, MIDI (IN/BASS PEDAL, OUT, THRU), 66 Watts of speaker output power, plus it has initial and aftertouch and Live drum kits. I better quit now, I think I might have talked myself into getting one:-) Tyros who?? PS: Did I mention it costs about the same as a nowhere to be found Tyros?

Best regards,
Mike

Another PS: No I don't work for Technics either. I own a PSR 2000 for heaven's sake.:-) "For others reading this with suspect minds
