Diki, you're on the ball. So glad to see someone else pointing out the issues that you are. Mainly the fixable ones like multipad looping and time stretching. Most people here have no idea of the potential power - to them a Tyros is just a more expensive PSR. I have almost a GB of audio multipads on my T4 that I use at gigs - mainly sax, brass and guitar riffs and solos I paid thousands of dollars to professionally record. Nothing adds realism like my audio multipads. Problem is on the s950 (and probably te T5), you can't trigger them to start at the biginning of the next measure - which can lead to inaccurate timing. And you can't loop. Also I'm at a complete loss to understand why Yamaha puts effort into so many things but neglects the drums ...

I do plan to launch an intense lobbying campaign if my fears over the multipads are true. Happy to see I have at least one person with me...
