Another Q I have is .. why don't I hear the same drum kits and bass sounds in a top flight Yamaha arranger that I hear on the Motif ? The rest of the instruments sound very similar between the two, and perhaps better on the T2 in some cases.

AJ,
SPOT ON MY FRIEND! Exactly what I'm ALWAYS thinking. How hard would it be to put the same drums--both acoustic and electronic on the arrangers, as well as some of the good basses. Why do they choose to keep that separate? My goodness could you imagine if the PSR-3000 or the T2 had the Motif's drum kits, and some of its bass sounds? Holy Mary you could do some damage with that Wouldn't that be awsome to take a R&B type style on the PSR-3000 and use one of the R&B kits found on the MOtif--Whew smack my arse and call me Willy! I would have bought the PSR-3000 the day I demoed it, if those kits and some of the basses were there. Just the Motif's acoustic and electronic kits, plus a few of the synth basses would do wonders in bringing a more modern sound to the styles--especially when you start to re-voice them. Ahhhhh got me dreaming again. It's back off to La La Land.

I agree with you about the MZ too. That was a very useful feature. What I also really liked about the MZ was the voice editing. That puppy was deep--I had to take a step back for a minute when I started editing voices on it. I remember saying "holy sh--t" a lot, totally shocked at the results--especially when I made a flute sound on it comparable to Yammies Sweet Flute
