I took my Tyros 4 out on a gig last Saturday. It was an important first time event and I'd spent almost three weeks, putting together a mixed programme for a mixed audience, played all through my sets on the Friday which seemd to be o.k. However on Saturday, three times the Italian Waltz 'froze' and I had to turn the keyboard off and on again before I could move to the next dance. Very embarrassing.

I have another first time event next month and believe me! my KN7000 will be the first thing packed in the car. I'm not going through all that hassle with the Tyros again. Today, I put the SD Card in the KN7000 containing most of the tunes I'd played last Saturday. They all loaded instantly and played without a 'hitch' for almost four hours - what a joy!

Comparison? I like the sound of the Tyros 4's pianos, strings, accordions and some organs which are beautiful for Ballads and singalongs but, for me the KN7's clear voices/big bands and 'sharp beat' rhythmic styles cannot be beaten for dancing.
