Al,

Thanks for sharing your experience with the G70. The next time if and when you go try it again, you might see the Tyros 2 next to it as well. I think you already have one, but I think it's a plus to compare them side by side.

I plan on going back to Alto next week ( Friday I think ) and Chris has promised to put out a T2 for display when I do. Also, I'm going to ask him to hook the G70 into seperate amps for a true stereo sound. If it's still hooked up the way it was when I went last time, they had the G70 plugged into a stereo kb amp w/ 2 speakers but only one cabinet.

I note your take on the rock styles. These are very important to me, but I intend to take a lot of time messing with many of the styles. For me, the PA1x and PA80 are still the standard I look to when I judge styles, even if some of the fills aren't. However I can't say the same for some of the Korg lead voices ( but Yamaha's lead voices for the most part suit me fine ).

Only my take of course, and what's important is how it all works for me, even if the next person doesn't quite see it the same.
