Yes, good drums and bass can certainly give you a more "live" sound...I guess I was thinking that you wanted to sound "different" from other duos etc...the only thing, in my opinion, that will do that successfully is to use your own arrangements for the tunes...varying enough so that you have your own stamp on them, but, still retaining a certain amount of the original...enough that still makes it instantly recognizable or perhaps, even coming as a surprise to listener.

I suppose I'm suggesting more "individuality"...hotter bass and drums, will only do so much...the rest will rely on the player's (or programmer's) creativity.

I sure hope whatever Audya you get, in any of it's forms, does not turn out a disappointment to you, as you will have a long walk back on the yellow brick road you've been paving over the last few months.

The Tyros3 has it's own unique following, and those who buy and use it, certainly will not agree with your assessment and borderline bashing of the product...it tells me a lot about you, and your hope that the Audya will somehow magically make your act/show a lot better...I think you shouldn't depend on any instrument to do that, but rather work on your presentation/arrangements etc...but that's just my opinion.

Will you be uploading a demo or two? Perhaps, if you are reticent about posting on the forum, you could send me a bit of your work via private message....maybe something done with the G-70 and the Ketron you have now, and something done with the Audya...I'd like to hear the dramatic improvements, you seem to be so sure, the Audya will bring.
