Actually, that has never been an issue, which is why I have never used a pedal for that function (fills etc.).

However, pitch bends are another matter, which is where a chord sequencer might come in handy for some situations.

But, since I don't have one, and never had one in a very long time (so I don't really miss one) I can make do pretty good all the same.

Yamaha's SA/SA2 voices, especially wind, like sax and clarinet, and some string sounds, are easily given bends, scoops and other expression by playing technique, not the SA buttons, although one can still use them if they wish. Having both is a nice option.

Also, the Tyros4's aftertouch can be assigned to various expressions per voice, which is also very handy.

The Tyros4 seems to have a mellower sound (which I like) than the T5, but still more detail than the Tyros3, so I'm very happy with the instrument I have...nothing from any other manufacturer, other than the Casio PX-5S synth/piano I mentioned on another thread, interests me in the slightest.

In any case, you seem to be happy with your pedal setup, and, of course, the one that is better, is the one that works best for the individual...mine works best for me. If it didn't, I'd have no problem in changing it.

But, thanks for the suggestions, nonetheless.
