Yes, nobody likes to haul anymore than the bare minimum including me.
It sounds like your other kb isn't 76 notes either? I'm wondering what sounds their are on the other kb that aren't on th Tyros or maybe not to your liking that you can't just take just one of them.
I agree it'd be nice to have it just the way you want it for whatever reasons. 61 soft touch is perfect for me, but I know there are some that prefer 76. I think Yamaha has from past experience found that the vast majority of people using an arranger kb use 61 notes and that it's not worth producing the other.
I still wish they madea a good usable Tyros module. I'd buy that like yesterday! As it is I just bought a Ketron Midjay. Pretty nice box really. I'm testing it out right now to see if it makes sense for me to keep. If not, I'll put it up for sale. It's the only way to try this thing.

Scott,
The other board I bring is a Triton Extreme 76 key board. The Triton sounds are very different from the Motif/Tyros sound engine, but complement it nicely. I have dabbled with triggering the Tyros from the Korg through MIDI. I would assign the right C voice to the Korg and play that from the Korg. It actually works, but when I need the Korg voice, I have to turn off midi signal recognition on the Tyros or de-select the C voice on the Tyros so that both sounds don't trigger as I play.
I know there is no perfect board, but the Tyros comes close for me; about 15 keys close!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear your review of the MidJay, that is another alternative I wish Yamaha would go; a Tyros Sound Module.
Regards,
Al
