Hi T42,

I agree. I thought the AXXE Guitar Voice Bank with their Marshal, Fender and Vox Amp Emulations was brilliant. At $34.95 for their 128 custom Guitar Voices, their price is very reasonable.

I have a couple of Yamaha Motif Racks. If I do not find quality third party samples in native Tyros2 .TNV format, I may just order some from here and layer them via MIDI through my Motif Rack.

The Tyros2 is a highly versatile instrument. Can you imagine how many external samples you can load in by utilizing its full potential of a 60GB Hard Drive and 1GB of RAM? Its like having a new instrument with new voices at your command. You can further edit these voices assigning Pitch Bend to Velocity and Vibrato/Expression to AfterTouch, etc using the PC Voice Editor making playing even more easier. This frees up your left hand from flicking the Mod Wheels, so that you can concentrate on the Chords.
