Hello folks I just popped back to the forum for some quick advice. Some of you may know that I have the KorgPA1x and I have loved that instrument from the beginning until now. The reason why I love the instrument is because of its built-in speakers it's comprehensive sequencer and sound editing facility. I have not used the sampler to any great degree However I know that Yamaha have in my view a more realistic sound particularly for real world instruments.

I have come across a deal for a used T4 for below 2000 English pounds. Including speaker system. I am very tempted however one of the key things for me is being able to compose and create on-board the instrument using it sequencer and sound editing facilities. This is more important to me even more so than the inbuilt speakers.

Has anyone had any experience of creating composing and writing music on board the tyros without external computers or software? The last Yamaha I owned was the PSR 8000 and I was able to create on it but it was like working with one hand tied behind your back. I am very adverse to using any form of external computer gear to work with as it's just so unintuitive to me and I do not have the space of time to setup and breakdown as I have limited space . The way that I work often means that I am creating at the drop of a hat at rehearsal or in my brothers bedroom /studio . I am already convinced that the T4 in terms of its sounds will be in a huge step up from my ancient beautiful existing keyboard. But the beauty of my old board was the workflow. I need someone who has experience doing what I do , creating detailed sequences and styles onboard the instrument you play . In this case being a T4 . For example, cutting and pasting and quantising one specific tracks to specific tracks within specific measures. The manual looks very sparse indeed and if the editing on board is as limited as the manual might indicate then the sequence has not improved at all since the days of the PSR 8000. Is that correct ?
