Jamman,
The last picture IMG_2849 is a pretty close shot. I did paint the indents of some buttons to differentiate them, and the lighting is not a problem for me .... mainly because the rooms I work are usually well lit, and when the darker situations arise, I have the iPad right there in front of me and that throws some light too. I use the iPad as a juke box, mostly, but it serves well as a clock/flashlight too! (If you have the new BK-9 ... it can also be your touch screen)

I'm still miffed about the harmony situation with this Yamaha. It must be a glitch in my personal unit (bought it used) - it does not play nice with the TC Harmony-M. It works fine with my old Digitech VR, and the TC unit works with my antique Korg i5S, but the combination of Yamaha and TC is not a beautiful fit, as I had hoped it would be. Another snag (for me) is that the Harmony-M responds peculiarly to the sustain pedal, and it makes my style of play impossible to deal with. Triggering from the arranger section is fine, but I require more precise control of my "singers" ... sending the RH note info is a MUST for me, so I can use moving lines, passing tones, and more interesting harmonies. The TC locks a harmony in after you play 3 notes and hit the sustain pedal (something I do constantly), so chords triggered after the sustain press do not affect the harmonies. NOT FOR ME, sorry. I need constant control to alter the harmonies, and I lay on the sustain pedal most of the night. It's part of my signature sound ... smooth chord changes, full vocal arrangements, and a unique touch of sonic color to personalize each song. I'll never be a "soloist" with my hands, but I am pretty proud of what goes into the microphone. It's worked all these years, and the older harmonizers helped shape my sound ... now I have to find the best "NEW" harmonizer to use in this set-up. The PA-900 is a strong contender, but I have that "audio in" problem to deal with. Grrrrrr .... it's always SOMTHIN'!

If you want solid harmonies and great mic tone from the arranger section - the Harmony-M might work for you, but if you ever use the right hand to trigger your harmonies - pass on the "M". It's not designed to cooperate that way.
