I agree with using the Roland again, Rog...the reason I've stayed with just the Tyros4 for midi and audio recording is utter simplicity (and perhaps a bit of laziness as well).

Plus, I know the Tyros4 very well, so I can get things done really quickly and still maintain high quality work.

For any commercial recording/studio projects, time is money, so I try to minimize the time in order to keep our prices low and competitive, while still making a decent profit.

If you are more on your own time, that is a different matter.

The Roland VS2480 is quite a fine piece of gear, and, it was way ahead of its time.

One thing I still do, is try to find the "fun" factor in each project.
