Hi Beaky: It only takes 2 minutes to load 35 of my favorite used reguarly TVN audio samples, so when I arrive at the gig, I'm able to simply place the T2 on the keyboard stand and turn it on and have the these TVNs load automatically, while taking 2-3 minutes to set up my z5500 PA setup and keyboard bench, with the show ready to go in under 5 minutes total. Fortunately, I've only lost power (requiring bootup & TVN reload) a couple of times since I've owned the Tyros2, and feel the benefits of having these impressive new TVN sounds (instrument voice samples) well worth the trouble. That said, I'm anxious to learn if Tyros3 will offer a faster TVN load time than Tyros2 as Faster load time would certainly be beneficial. - Scott
