This thread got me to thinking about why it is I keep going for the Tyros 4, weight and all.

A few things...very important to me.

(1) Articulated screen large enough for me to see text for lyrics. On the S950 it was bring a book, or pad or something to see lyrics...one more piece of gear to haul and hook up.

(2) Switch for vocal harmony on T4. I'm not having to go into a program to turn on the harmony. I could use a foot pedal on the S950 for this function I know...but then...one more piece of gear to haul and hook up.

(3) Sliders/faders or whatever you want to call them. I love this control function to increase/decrease volume on styles..voices etc. Big deal when gigging. I used the buttons on the S950...and they weren't bad but not as easy to use as the sliders.

I'm not really a keyboardist..per se..although the T4 sure has gotten me working on learning.(as much as I can at age 65) But I do know quality sound when I hear it and I can hear a difference(better sound) between my T4 and the S950...not huge but it's there.

This is not to put the S950 down. Had I not stumbled into this floor model T4, I probably would be contentedly playing my S950 today.
