Thanks Bernie. The best thing about using the style pad voice/sound ( I often need to raise the volume) is that it appears to be "voiced" perfectly for the chord changes, no issues with ON BASS fingering etc., whereas using a panel voice/sound in the LH requires friggin around with octaves and also trying to "voice" it right so that it doesn't get muddy or get out of range on some of the chords.

I have lots of time to experiment now that I'm retired from all gigging. The S775 is a real hoot, especially with the live tone controls which can control filter cutoff and dozens of other parameters including the effects...also has some simple but useful arpeggiator riffs and multi-pads...pretty cool for such an entry level instrument that still has the pro covered too. Styles from the Tyros3/CVP-509 and earlier will work perfectly, giving me all kinds of raw material to make new stuff.

OT...A few months ago, I heard a guy playing a Hammond SK-1 through a Centerpoint Space Station system (I believe it had a sub) and, if you closed your eyes, you were hearing a B-3 plus a Leslie (internal sim) with all the spatial and swirliness of the latter...absolutely amazing...that's what prompted me to ask you about the Hammond. He had the SK-1 sitting atop a real Rhodes which appeared to be going through the same sound system...very nice indeed.

It was a tough choice, but I'm glad I chose the PSR.
