On the PSR2000, if I assign 'fill to self' to a foot pedal, and then depress & hold down the foot pedal, the fill 'repeats continously' until I release the pedal. On the other hand, on the Tyros, the fill plays only once, regardless of whether I release the pedal or not.

It's almost impossible (for me) to continuously re-trigger the foot pedal repeatedly (and at just the right moment) to achieve the effect of a continously repeating fill that holding down the PSR2000 foot pedal, or the fill button itself (on top of both the 2000 & Tyros) achieves.

One more reason I can add to my list as to why I didn't get and "won't get" a Tyros. At least not until Tyros II or maybe Tyros III when they add internal Speakers, and you can actually play those darn Mega Voices they put in there. I use the Fill to Self with a Foot Pedal "Repeateded Continuous Fills" and it is a GREAT feature on the PSR 2000. It can really add sparkle to a piece and can really jazz things up in the percussive department. I have no idea why the Tyros developers left this cool feature out. What were they thinking? Sure you may be able to do it with an MFC10 but you will have to spend upwards of $300.oo for the MFC10 to get it to work. How much did I pay to get that feature on my PSR 2000? How about Zilch! Thank you Yamaha for adding that feature to the PSR 2000. Should you do no less than give your Flagship Arranger's customers that same feature as one that your Mid Range Keyboard has? I agree with Steve Deming. All of you Tyros owners out there chip in and let it be known to Yamaha Music Division that, YES, this is a feature that I want!!! Not only through this Forum but I encourage all Tyros owners to E-MAIL Yamaha directly to let them know how you feel.
