This is a good video from a Danish guy using the T2 (demo.

You can watch him use the pitch bend appropriately.

My question;
How close to that set up can I come with the Tyros 2?

If I read you right? you can do all these things and many many more, plus the storage is out of sight.......Pose

The ONLY feature difference (from your list) missing from Tyros2 compared to your KN7000 is that the KN7000 includes 6 Multipad Buttons to select from, while the Tyros2 only includes 4. On the other hand, Tyros2 includes MANY keyboard performance features I know you'll really appreciate, missing on the KN7000. These include:

1) Ability to save & call up lyrics via REG, and to automatically ppear when that specific REG (1-8) is selected.
2) "Fill To Self": triggerable via lilnked variation button or via remote footpedal. I like this design setup much better than Technics.
3) I don't remember if Technics limit the "number" of REGISTRATION BANKS (1-8) you've able to automatically call up in succession (via footpedal), but Tyros2's supports an unlimited number.

John, I'm confident you'll find it (as I did) a pretty smooth transition going from Technics to Yamaha OS/Navigation System. Other than Technics far more USER FRIENDLY step record Sequencer, your gonna really appreciate the benefits of Tyros2. One specific one I noticed right off is that Technics includes very weak (or non existant) drum fills, instead only relying on instrumental (melodic fills). For this reason, Yamaha more accurately replicates the sound of an authentic jazz combo (drums, bass, keyboard) where the drums are the essential element of the fill.

Congratulations in advance for choosing the Tyros2 keyboard. I think you're going to really enjoy it the way I have.

Scott can you outline this T2 procedure to accomplish this task?

I would like to do pitch bend with a knee switch. Does anyone do this? Back in the old days we had knee levers connected to a switch. I wonder where one of these could be purchased?

Gary I'm surprised you haven't made one already.

Tom...
Simple. Assign one foot pedal to "pitch bend". Then, velcro it to one of your knees. Any time you want to bend a note, squeeze your knees together. I'm surprised you didn't think of this.

Tom,

The old Knee Switches have lone gone to the landfill--just can't find a need for them anymore. I'll bet if you did a Google search for them you'll get a couple hits on locations where they can be found.

Cheers,

Gary

Eddie,

I use the old squeeze the knees together trick to hit the high notes. I would have to pick tunes that had high notes and pitch bend ocurring at the same time.
