Hello John,

I do understand what you are saying and like you, the songs I play are usually Glen Miller and the like and again like you, I find technology fascinating and appreciate fully that systems will always be updated and usually with much improvement and more User Friendliness (compare the old DOS system with today's Microsoft system, isn't it much easier to use?) so why isn't the Tyros 3 easier to use. With the exception of the new sound system which IS better than the older models, I can see very little difference. Even the Super Articulation isn't all that we were led to believe unless of course, you 'tweak' it, but my point is we should not have to spend so much time on changing things around, even the short time I've used the T3 I can see places where a simple designated button would have been much better to use.

Having made all these comments, like the great helpful people on this site, the Yamaha Forum's members are doing their best to help me deal with my problems for which I am very grateful. So in fairness to everyone who is trying to help me, I will carry on to the end of the six month period I have given myself to 'master' it, then I will make a decision as to whether I'm going to keep the T3 or not. Time will tell!
