I suspect the Tyros5 will give much the same choices...probably the "Freeze" function for registrations will allow the locking in of one bass sound, regardless of right hand patches and style selected. I'll know for sure in a week or so when another clients gets his Tyros5-76, although the info may be in the available on-line manual.

Personally I never use LH bass, preferring bass pedals if manual is necessary...however, I'm sure this new feature will appeal to many, such as my friend with the Ensoniq.

Scott, do you use left hand bass very often?
