Well, memory is (relatively) cheap ... having lots of GB of ROM (of some form) with lots of data (for audio, styles, sounds, etc. etc.), should be possible. I do hope though that they have kept EVERYthing that the Tyros 4 (and 3?) had, for backward compatibility. I'm hoping my hundreds of registrations still work at least "OK" on the Tyros 5 - albeit with some tweaking needed later to take advantage of new sounds on the Ty5.

Although I hope the keyboard's form factor is somewhat smaller (and lighter), I hope there is enough "blank" surface to put my KeyRig25 (2 octave MIDI controller) and Akai MX8 (which I use for sound FX) on top of the tyros5.

Just thinkin' of all the graet 'stuff' that will be coming soon when we start (in a few weeks?) seeing pictures and hearing audio demos of this new keyboard!

It's been ~6-7 years or so since my last purchase (Tyros 3) so I'm ready to "move up" (skipped the Tyros 4) ... esp. "move up" to 76 keys!
