kbrkr Senior Member Registered: 11/19/02 Posts: 2867 Loc: Tampa, FL	FYI...the Tyros 4 already has a WHITE DOT on the Volume control, and a WHITE LINE on the GAIN control. That's why they passed along the price increase. Great TIP Donnie, for any keyboard!!! That reminds me of a Tip I learned for the Kronos; I used to use the Joystick to change the Leslie Speed, but I never knew if it was on or off when I couldn't hear the Mix. On the Kronos, you can use the LIGHTED (ON) / Un-LIGHTED (OFF) #6/8 CONTROL switch to Turn the Leslie on/off.

Fran, your parents must have forced you to do hard labor with a Yamaha when you were a wee child. That's why you have such Yammyanxiety! _________________________ Al Pa4x - LD Systems Maui 28 - Mackie Thumps
