If THAT ain't a low blow to home (vs pro) players here. Frankly, I think some of home players are better musicians than some of us (including myself) pros here, but that's another story.
That said: SA voices will 'deliver the goods' to both pro & home players alike but only if you take the 'very short' time to tweak its settings & master its unique playing technique. The Tyros2's SA voices are an impressive STANDOUT for LIVE performing keyboard players because it allows you to SHOWCASE thru playing expression: the variable sound characteristics of the instrument. I only say that my audiences remain in awe of the the SA voices I use, compared to what they heard when I played the same instrument voices on Tyros1 and the PSR2000 before that. Perhaps if one primarily relies on SMF backing tracks to sing with, the SA articulation voices may be less important, but for the LIVE performance keyboard player (home player or pro) who does a lot of instrumental soloing, Super articulation voices are a must have godsend. - Scott
