It appears Smooth Jazz is a style and Piano Trio is a sequence.

This is the best 4 beat I have ever heard on an arranger keyboard:

Very good Tyros demo, but, is there a kind of small glitch in the fill-in in 0:31 ?

The big problem with the tyros swing that Scott provided is, the drummer must have 3 hands. There are a few spots where suddenly a sticked cross-stick shows up, yet the cymbals and snare accents are still done with brushes. One stick and one brush would be possible, but not 2 brushes and a stick. Stupid programming.

I liked the Korg smooth jazz better..seemed more real and a better rhythm. Nice horn too.

BUT, They were both great in there own way.

I agree the KORG units certainly sound more "LIVE"

Another issue I had had with the Yamaha is that in variation 1, there was a strong splah cymbal crash on beat "one". This is not very stylisticaly appropriate

Rory, your comments never cease to amaze me. I think that I am not putting down anyone here when I think that no-one else here would notice that. Thank you.
