As I said already, Diki, I don't need the complications of running two arrangers, especially when I have one as powerful as the Tyros4.

I'm supposing you haven't played a Tyros4 yet?

The drums are plenty punchy...remember, there are new kits in the T4 that aren't in other Tyros models.

Where I see the value of the BK-7m is with a digital piano, especially the lighter models with dedicated midi (P-95/NP-30)...it still doesn't address the fact that the BK-7m will not play Yamaha styles, and perhaps this will make a big difference to most of my clients. I also believe it should work just peachy with the Roland FP-series.

Listening to the BK-7m, I can hear more detail in the parts playing...more so than I hear in on-line recordings of the G-70/E-80...could be an EQ thing, maybe, but if the BK-7m has EQ for each part (and I believe it does) then the factory has done a great job in the out-of-the-box setup.

The local Long&McQuade music store is bringing one in when available, so I'll try one out on a P-95 to see if it's worth recommending.
