It took about 10 minutes total, including downloading the styles from Yamaha. This makes the instrument so much more interesting to me. I'm even starting to "tame" the harmonizer. It'll never replace or compare to the TC stuff, but in a pinch, I can make some things work. It's more of a playability issue than a sonic one. I still can't find a way to have it read my voice when no style is playing. That's big for me.
