HI Scott,
I'm also a little disappointed in the Organs. Why would they change the way the controller works with the organs? They now control volume instead of Leslie Rotor? What were they thinking? Some of the Leslie Rotors do an "Instant On" and with a louder volume than slow speed.
And finally, I'm having a devil of a time balancing the volume of "Everything". Somethings like Right voices are Too Loud, some tooo soft, the left hand voice is un-hearable,the Styles are not as balanced as the Tyros 2. I hope they can fix these things, but I don't have hope as Yamaha does not have a very good track record of releasing OS Updates.
Take Care.

Al, the way I interpet the the controllers is that it is designed so that when you're playing SA2 voices and roll the wheel up it creates the leslie effect. Nevertheless it's poor design I have caught myself during a rehearsal pushing it up and having the volume drop off. So generally I just avoid using it unless I'm positive I have an SA2 organ voice chosen.
And you're comment on having trouble balancing the volume of everything seemed even worse on the Tyros3. I didn't own one but had the opportunity to use one for a weekend. I found it such pain that I opted not to buy one. Really I think the T4 has improved despite that. I'm happy with my T4 and I've owned enough arrangers the last few years where I'm willing to make some sacrifice so that I have other features. When you come right down to it we're all in the same boat no matter what arranger we own.
