Soooooo many:
1) sound - it's stellar
2) styles - they're so believable
3) vocal processor - the best in the biz
4) look/feel - it's a slim, trim, sexy beast
5) chord sequencer - fun, fun, fun
6) 4 outputs, and the mic effects follow the mic wherever you send it
7) touch screen - like having an iPad on the job
8) dual media player - has NEVER, ever glitched or hiccuped on me.
9) best multitasking unit out there - I tweak, move, save, write ... all while playing live.
10) fantastic support with updates and freebees.

I don't own one but I'd LOVE to have a chord sequencer. That would allow me to play more two handed parts and more advanced chords that arrangers don't recognize. Also it would free up my hands to play some harmonica.

the CC works great on 4x..Paul time for a KORG Pa4x !!

Ketron already as this with their RIFF feature ... in Arranger D.

glad to see your past the silent slab issue...

... not sure I'm over anything yet - still haven't taken it out on a job. The monitoring issue has yet to be addressed, but I'm actually thinking that in-ears might be my answer. Soon as summer is over, I'll give it a whirl.

Definately a miss on my Tyros 5, its a feature i use reularly, i used to set up my Ipad, where i used an external sequencer to record some chords.. and then replay them as input for the T5..

These days i use the sequencer of the Kronos... but this forces me to play in sequencer mode instead of combi mode...


This feature is definately a must, not only for pro players, but also for most home players... because its also very handy when excersising some new songs (piano)

Isn't recording your chosen style chord progression into a midi song file on the your Tyros 5 and then using Song Position Markers on playback essentially the same thing as the Korg chord sequencer?

You would end up with the options of four convenient chord sequence loops (SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4) that you chose on the fly, freeing up your two hands to practice whatever you want.

Can easily be synced with any Tyros 5 style with sync start, including multipads on top of the chord sequences (SP1-SP2). Once synced, the chord sequence with follow the tempo changes of the style play.

Very dynamic control over your chord sequences, plus you can activate one the 4 loops on-the-fly, essentially generating access to four separate chord sequences.

Style Bass Conversion and manual bass control on the Tyros 5 can be setup within your style play and split point options while you create your chord sequence midi song file before you setup and enter song position markers.

My favorite feature was the PA4X ability to make me realize I didn't need it.

Dave, Donny, if you guys ever learn the in and outs of the Korg, we can have an old fashion shootout with the lowly E-A7

The day I was scheduled to show Donny the E-A7, he went and ordered the Korg at the breakfast table...I didn't have the heart to show the good stuff on the Roland..

Seriously, I like the Korg for the SD slot, and key feel.

Guys let me know when you get the handle of the Korg.
