The new "effects section" on the Tyros5, is impressive, but frankly, the old one in the Tyros4 was no slouch either...then again, any feature isn't worth a hoot unless the user digs in and exploits it.

The drawbar organs on the Tyros4 can be vastly improved by proper effects usage (like distortion or overdrive) and the correct Leslie settings. Though most presets sound pretty good, there is a difference when you put the right "spin" on them (pun intended).

I'm happy with the Tyros4...it has all the essential SA/SA2 voices for my needs, and, I was never a fan of the audio drums on the Tyros5 or the S950...too limited editing-wise for my purposes.
