Marcus,

Like you are satisfied with your Tyros 5, I am with my Audya. We use it for all our performances. Both mics play through it. We use the onboard harmonizer & all I have is the two outs to the mixer & then to the amps.

I miss many of my Yamaha styles. These do not convert well to any other format. I would hate to perform with two arrangers, as I would have to set-up another midi switch to select which harmonizer controls the mics etc. Start getting a bit laborious.

So, vArranger might be the answer. If the Audya could be synched with it (although I understand this is rather unlikely because of the host of other sys-ex commands this generates), I could play audio drums and a selection of many other audio & midi loops (standard in the Audya) along with some styles. Can you imagine the results?

So for me, this might be something to seriously consider at a 10th the price of a new Tyros 5.
