Deanne: I admire your diligence in getting the BK7m to work with your T4 setup, but for me, Tyros 4 alone delivers it 'all included' in one unit, including the quick setup time. Deane, what specific Roland sounds or styles are you wanting that's not included, or can't be closely duplicated on the Tyros 4 itself? Because many of Roland's sounds are available as digital samples (vst, akai, etc), you might consider using Extreme Sample Converter to convert these to Yamaha TVN/UVN format and then load & play them in your Tyros 4. If it's specific Roland Style(s) you're wanting, these too can be exported and converted to Tyros 4 '.sty' format. Just my idea of of a way of maintaining the ease of a 'one unit' system, including the greater ease of storing & calling up everything in Reg. ![cool cool](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/cool.gif)

Just my idea of of a way of maintaining the ease of a 'one unit' system, including the greater ease of storing & calling up everything in Reg. Well said, Scott...especially if you are doing more than one gig a day. Having a Tyros4, or any higher-end arranger, is far easier than setting up and tearing down separate units...plus, with modular, there's more wires, and more to go wrong. Keep it simple, as they say. I must commend Deane on his persistence. Ian

Advantages to the module include weight, great drums sounds, multi-bar styles, wonderful bass lines in the styles. Again, those preferring a more "live" sound out of the box, as opposed to a CD sound, will find Roland more appealing than Yamaha. I would prefer all-in-one unit as well, but Roland isn't making any new ones, at least right now. DonM

I used modules in the past, specifically RA-50, RA-90, RA-800, and I must say, I am totally happy with not having to use a modular setup anymore.
Fiddly, and time consuming setup, more things to put away, and more things to go wrong...plus, access to a module's controls, even with a well set-up controller, is not nearly as convenient as having it all on the panel, with clear labeling and a nice informative screen.
With so many excellent new styles available, especially Yamaha styles that now use mega and SA/SA2 voices, the argument of "better" styles (and bass lines) holds no water anymore, in my opinion.
And with even high end arrangers weighing less than 35 lbs, with the mid-range at only 20 or so, the weight factor isn't nearly what it used to be.
So basically, it really boils down to overall sound, and what we like to hear coming out of our speakers.
I'm glad Yamaha's sound appeals to me, and I can get everything in one unit (in my case, a Tyros4), as I know I wouldn't have the patience to be jiggin' around with a module and controller, and having to deal with it's disadvantages, for a few dubious (in my opinion) advantages.
But, to each his own.
Ian
