I'm afraid from simple LISTENING, it's harder to tell than you might like, Ian.


I know my friend, but one can only hope that the opportunity presents itself.

Yes, simple listening won't do it...playing will...the relationship of the sound and key stroke, especially SA/SA2 voices...that's where I'm detecting a difference...plus, the overall sound is both sweet and punchy...the T3 was mostly the latter, although again, many owners would not change a thing.

I was already quite happy with the drums...the new kits are just a nice perk.

I hope the chance to play both a Tyros3 and a T4 comes about for you, as much as I hope I get to play a Korg PA3X.

I agree about the styles...some of the new ones are pretty smartly programmed...I noticed that a few styles had organ pads that changed from fast to slow Leslie, seemingly at the perfect time...amazing. Upon investigation it seems it wasn't an effect, but rather the actual sound was changing from a sampled fast rotary organ to a sampled slow rotary version of the same sound...clever for sure.
