i am slowly getting used to everything and how the os works and navigates. its really not that hard at all... different!
i cant get over how much better everything sounds than the Tyros 2. its miles ahead!
with each arp, u have 5 variations and u switch and select them in real time just like style variations on the Tyros. u can make some shorter just for the purpose of being a fill in. so really u can use it as an arranger in that way.
it pretty much has all the styles of music that any arranger has except for the entertainer / movie / organ type stuff..
its very strong with Dance / hip hop / latin / world / rock / pop / jazz / country...
the midi file editing / sequencing is amazing , it basically gives u the same layout u have in cakewalk / cubase!!!!
must go now - much more to be explored!

Congrats on your new board.
Let us know how the auto accompaniment feature works on the Motif xs as compared to the Tyros 2 and whether you can accomplish the same goal but just in a slightly different way.
