To answer all those asking why I bought the T4 / why I don't return it...

There are a few reasons:

- There is only a $1000 difference between what I'll get when I sell the T3, to what I paid for the T4. Considering I do over 100 gigs a year, most of them weddings, it's not that expensive.

- I don't use the Tyros 4 the way most others do. I use this exclusively as a dance machine. Unfortunately, although Yamaha knows how to do great arrangements, they have no clue how to make dance beats (I'm talking about the under 25 age bracket). I therefore use ONLY my own styles, plus tens of samples. In addition, the majority of my music is ethnic so even if they were good Yamaha's styles don't help me.

- When it comes to dance music, drums are the most important instrument, and if there is a chance that I can improve on that, it's worth a try. Last night, I created 7 new drum kits which are quite good, and I'm sure when I get more serious about it, I'll make even better ones.

- Flash RAM: As a guy who uses tones of samples, having it at your fingertips with almost no load time is a dream.


Why I don't get a Ketron:

- Once again, I play ethnic music and the Western Audio loops don't help me that much.

- I'm told that the Audya is not good for customization and that it is very buggy when making your own styles and samples.

- I demoed the Audya when it came out and couldn't stand the right hand sounds...
