In fact I owned one and created my share of styles for them exactly as I did for the Audya. I just expected more, that's all.

Henni, there is no arranger made that can be adequately and fairly compared to the way the Audya sounds...it is definitely more "live" sounding than anything else by Yamaha, Korg, Roland and Wersi.

It's use of Audio Styles (Yamaha just uses Audio Drums) gives it an edge, although, I feel Yamaha's Mega Voices and Korg's DNC have brought them quite a bit closer.

Also, you have a guy like AJ in your corner, who goes beyond the call of duty far more than I see elsewhere.

And yes, I have acknowledged your great contributions of styles to PSR Tutorial many times here on SZ. I have some on my HD.

I hope someone is equally as charitable (and hard working), sends you the BK-9 styles.

I think the Tyros5 sounds exceptional, in the same way I thought my Tyros4 sounded impressive when it was introduced.
