Nice to see it packed in a relatively svelte 32 lb instrument. wink

Good demos, Bill...thanks.

Ian, Keith Emerson came to mind as soon as I heard that patch too.



A great tune, Steve, here are ELP "warming up" in Montreal with Keith on that awesome GX-1. Strangely appropriate, Yamaha's Tyros5 arranger has carried on the legacy of this great early "arranger" (it had autoaccompniment & drum machine), although Keith probably only used those features at home.

Congrats on your new Tyros5-76!
