deb:

Congratulations on getting your new Tyros 5.
Though a few American dealers here have one, they're for store demo only.
Unfortunately, American customers like myself are still anxiously waiting for ours to finally arrive later this month, hopefully before Christmas.

Even though I'm both a live singer & arranger keyboard musician,
I agree with deb that adding pre-recorded vocals along with live keyboard playing (and perhaps your live vocals too)
has the potential to raise arranger keyboard entertainment to a new level of appreciation and acceptance by audiences,
as is demonstrated at the following spots in the below Bert Smorenburg S950 video:

03:56: Paparazzi (Lady Gaga, vocals)
11:06: Assigning audio to multipads
11:44: Ticket To Ride (Beatles, vocals)

Deb, I'm really looking forward to hopefully seeing and hearing how you utilize multipad triggered vocals with your keyboard performance.

In addition:
in light of the (now locked) thread "Is a Singer a Musician?",
checkout Bert Smorenburg's humorous twist: "is a Guitarist a Musician?"
