Harry, If I play a midi file using the sound card in my computer it does not sound as good as my keyboard. And so with each instrument/keyboard.
But this is not a test of a keyboard but of the unaltered sound of a keyboard, the natural sound of the keyboard instrument sounds. A true test would be to have someone who understood each keyboard equally create a midi file using all the features in each keyboard. You see it is not only the instrument sound that is needed to create a great midi file, there is more to a keyboard.

It has taken me a while to understand the sequencer in my Tyros3 as well as I understood the sequencer in the Kn7000. I sequenced for many years from the KN2000 to the Kn7000.
I do not mean this to be a comparison that will disturb a Kn7000 owner, this is meant to be for the person who is seeking information.

What I have learned about the Tyros 3 sequencer:

1-I can add the pads, and each pad is recorded to a different track allow me to edit the sometimes repetitive boring sound.
2-Placing the pad is done in real time recording one at a time. I’ll use a cymbal to demonstrate. As the sequence is playing I can start and stop the cymbal so that it is closer to a real performance. The key here is while it’s playing I can hear and feel where the pads sound closer to real.
3-All four pads can be used at the same time.
5-Different pads from different sets of four can also be used which means I can add four pads from one set of drum pads and four pads from trumpet/ sax groups of pads.
Since pads are good for accents and effects I find them valuable, they take away the sometimes boring feeling of the style. As a style is, it is repetitive.

With these options I able to produce a better sequence. There is much more but this enough for this post.
