I am puzzled, I feel that this is a good forum, and that a forum of quility should bring as many unbiased facts to it's members. Tim has written a post explaining his frustrations, valid or not. I feel it is our job, cause he is family, to help him with facts, or opinions supported by facts.

My example;
Do you know that I can press any style on the Tyros and have not a factory set up, by that I mean volumes, rt1, rt2, left, tempos, and a few other things that the factory decided was best, but a set up of my own chosing. I can play any style and get me, what I feel, how good can this get. I do not have to search somewhere else to have a second or third instrument sound, it's there waiting for me. And----I have four of these buttons on each style, wow, that's good.

I do have a problem if I want to adjust any of the accomp. instruments. I can't make these changes without a lot of extra work. On the Technocs KN 7000, it's right their in front of me, just below the window. I can adjust the volumes, or even eliminate the sound.

I feel this is the kind of help people are looking for. Once someone said to me, "I'm going to make you love me", I replied, "no you're not, I'll love you for just what you are".
No one has to sell me on my Kn 7000, I hear, I can feel, I love it.

IMHO, it is better to make decisions based on opinions supported by fact, and most of all my own evaluation.
