That's fine chony, that's why were here to listen to other viewpoints.

But there are counterpoints to your arguments. How much equipment do you want to bring to a job? We are talking all-in-one convenience. That's what Arranger Workstations are.

And if you don't perform in public, how many home players like to sing, but don't either sing on key or sing alone and want 2-3 part harmony?

If they do want to sing, they have to purchase a microphone. When was the last time you purchased a microphone without an XLR Jack? Maybe Sam's club or Costco sell Microphones with Hi-Z 1/4 inch jacks, but most decent quality mic's need the XLR jack.

Do you want to record with your arranger? Is it more convenient to record to a WAV file or an MP3 file? How about both? Since WAV's are very large, you can compress them down in size to an MP3. Do you want to adjust the pitch of the MP3 or WAV file playback? How about transposing it?

I could go on and on, but please keep in mind, that the Tyros 2 sells for $3495.00! That's is a lot of money for a home player to spend on a hobby. He or she should have everything they need to perform for that kind of money without purchasing additional equipment. The base tyros 2 doesn't even come with a hard disk for crying out loud!!
