I agree with everything Diki has said so far. It will be necessary to program quite a few buttons or sliders to facilitate quick control to some of the functions for which the controls in menus.
The pianos are much better than E50. There are some great OTS sound settings. I found a really great Pedal Steel setting.
Jury is still out on the new Natural Trombone and Natural Sax.
They are like Yamaha Mega voices. The mod wheel adds natural nuances.
I can see putting in lots of time to customize the module to my needs, but it appears that can be done. I will have to brush up on programming the midi commands.
I'm looking for a way to globally change and save some parameters such as split point. I'm sure it's there, but right now it keeps defaulting to C3 every time I call up a OTS or Style. There was no fix on the E50 except a computer program.
I'll have to check that out.
Overall, after just playing styles with OTS settings for a couple of hours, I'm very pleased.
It seems to me that it sounds at least as good as my E80 did.
