Thanks for being understanding, Ian. I didn't want this to sink as some of our exchanges have in the past!
I guess what I tend to do is look at each part of an arranger separately, to better understand and compare them. If you take the whole thing as a 'good' or 'bad', then it's harder to talk about individual issues inside them. It seems as if the sound wasn't as 'sweet' as you wanted it to with older FSX arrangers, and the baby kind of got thrown out with the bathwater..!
I do a lot of playing ALL my different keyboards from each others' actions. Everything is networked together in my setup, so any of them can be the master for anything else. That way, I use the action that suits the sound, or at least the way I want to PLAY that sound. Live, of course, it's just the one thing. But at home, I have learned to separate touch from sound. I guess it helps me get a better handle on recognizing the differences, both good AND bad, of each of them.
Anyhoo... Glad you are excited and enthusiastic, and I just know you are going on to higher and higher things with this one. Enjoy!

IAnyhoo... Glad you are excited and enthusiastic, and I just know you are going on to higher and higher things with this one. Enjoy! Diki, I was rather a bit surprised at my own change of heart regarding the FSX action. A week or more ago, I had just mentioned to Scott and several others I had been talking to on the phone, that I would probably end up buying the S910, because of it's "sweeter" sound (to my ears) and, that I really liked the action. Then, I took the Tyros3 to Johnny's place, and we spent the whole evening, and part of the next day, going through the Tyros3 (Johnny already has a 9000Pro). I kept thinking, "You know, this action's not half bad at all...in fact, it's pretty darn good, especially on those SA/SA2 sounds. Yet, the Tyros3's overall sound still didn't quite light my fire, but, Johnny loved it right away...in fact, it wasn't much different than the way I responded to the Tyros4 when it arrived here. So, sound is definitely personal. If the Tyros4 had been very much like Tyros3 in overall sound, I would have probably kept to the S910, even though I had begun to like the Tyros' FSX action. But, as several Tyros4 owners had told me, the new instrument was much different in overall sound than the T3...and it sounded this way, right out of the box. And, sure enough, it's sound appealed to me a lot...much like the S910, but on steroids....and, the action, which I had already begun to appreciate, seemed to work even better with the T4's SA/SA2 than on the Tyros3 (again, a personal observation and opinion). So, that's where it stands...certainly an S910 would still be a great buy, and save me a lot of money, but, I'm going to be good to myself, and get the best available...bring on the fillet mignon. Ian

Ian Ian I hope you feel like this in 6 months from now ...meanwhile enjoy the moment and play your heart out...enjoy. I'm off to make some $$$$$ tonight with my measly S910 :):)
