Sorry..., forgot Ian.. I'm comparing the Tyros to a board you probably couldn't even find the power-switch to let alone actually operate the darn thing. You do know right that one of the major advertised features of the new XS series was the arps with CHORD RECOGNITION..., and last time I checked there were MANY happy XS customers because it in essence gave them the feel of a synth working like an arranger. There were even posts that talked trash on the new chord recogntion for the arps and di-hard synth junkies saying if the XS acted like an arranger they wouldn't buy it.
