Looks like they added the ability to use SA voices as part of the style... that ought to raise the bar a bit!
Polyphony remains the same (but 128 ought to be sufficient!). A LOT more voices, especially SA stuff,
but we'll have to wait and see whether all these new voices use new samples, or are just variations on the
same sample set. Ditto for the drums...

Flash RAM is going to change the game, albeit expensively, but Yamaha are still locked into their own
proprietary multisample format, no Akai import or Soundfonts etc., so the choice you get to fill it
will still remain in Yamaha's (so far) miserly hands. It is LONG past time Yamaha opened up their samplers
(Motif's have the same problem) to the largest sample collection out there.

Oh, and Lee... no, on the whole, I'm far more gratified to coax new sounds out of what I already
have, to learn to better PLAY it, to make it a part of my playing. Constantly removing your familiarity with
your gear by upgrading long before you've exhausted
the current one's possibilities is a game for those with more income than sense, IMO

We got a price in the US on the T4 yet? Apparently, the MoXF comes in at exactly the same price as the
XS, despite its' improved capabilities. Is Yamaha keeping the price on its' arranger products as static?
Knowing Yamaha, I doubt it. Better get some lube handy
