That's cool that the technics allows you to loop in all areas (even the song sequencer).. I didn't know you could do this on those models. Yamaha should take note of this and start putting better sequencers in their arrangers. However, again Yammie wants to keep that fine line between arrangers and synths, and probably will always fall short on some things intentionally. If something like the Tyros was in the price range of say a Yamaha Motif6, then I think you'd see more synth users coming over to play.. Most people I talk to actually like arrangers, but don't want to pay three grand for a Tyros or a 9000 Pro, when they can get a Yamaha Motif for less.
