frankieve,

I'm guessing that midifiles played on the Tyros will sound similar to those played on the 2000. Midifile playback inthe majority of the cases does sound better on my PA80 than on my 2000, but not sure if it's at the level of the Roland's.

For midifiles that I like to use ( I don't use very many though ), I usually reassign the appropriate 2k / PA80 voice in Sonar and save. I have to do this a lot with the Motif too, as it doesn't always recognize the drums, but of the three, I would say the Motif has the best GM set, but the files still need work on it too.
