Craig there are a few things, I dont hate its just that I personally will NEVER use on the Tyros 2 for MY Needs..eg: Sampler, Custom Sounds, Music Finder Directory,
& a few more things.
Not that others wont, but I myself have no need for these features on stage....but I'm stuck with them.....seems like a waste to have things you never use. Then there are things I would really need but they are not avaiable on T2....ahhhh whats the use?

The Price and the state of my financial possibilities.

I've never laid hands on any Tyros, I or II, so I can't have any 'loves' or 'hates' about them.

Sliders have been mentioned in a few of the posts and, for me, I have to have them - for mixing/balancing 'on the fly' I would think they are essential.

what would you expect he tyros2 to cost?

You mean like this?

lol

Where do you think they got the idea?

They did not get the idea from Midjay or from another keyboard, it is a feature that organs have used for years.
Something to give thought to: When you add the sliders you will have to give up some of the other controls (Buttons) There is just so much you can put on the top of the keyboard.

This is a brilliant touch of engineering every arranger should include, but don't!!

I don't own the T2 because I hate
not having the 76 keys.

As for sliders, I think the non-motorized sliders are more a distraction than a benefit. With motorized sliders the present position indicates the current setting for the volume. Without this, the sliders you have adjusted show the current setting, but the others are meaningless, showing how they were moved last time. So now you have remember which slider is in its true position and which one is in the old position - yet another task to do while playing.
