Danny,
I have regretted often selling my Tyros 4. None of the keyboards after the T4 suited my needs. I had the Tyros 5 and the Genos and sold both of them. I also had the PSR 950 which I wish I had kept. Glad I have my Ketron SD40. Like you it really fills the bill for me.

Hi Deane.

The T4 is certainly a fantastic keyboard and I remember how well it was received here when it arrived, I was so envious at the time, I remember as I had just bought a brand new T3 (which I still really enjoyed) but you could hear the step up in quality from the T4. I don't know how it compared to the T5, but certainly I would have expected the Genos to be far superior in all areas.

Does the SX900 recognize aftertouch via midi control? If so, why not just hook it up to the T4?

Rikki, no it’s not 2 it’s 3 of us, you need to add me into the equation. I know at least one other SZ guy who would make #4 but I’ll wait for him to speak for himself.

Hi Sqk,

Thank you for your reply.

I've not tried to do that as of yet, I could hook it up to the SD7 since it's on the same stand as it. The T4 is currently in it's box since I don't have room to have all of my keyboards out. I may set it up in another room since now my children have moved out I have the house totally to myself and the second bedroom I can use it for some of my stuff.

Hi Danny,
since you have your 2 keyboards on the same stand, a simple setup like I have with my p121 and sx900, might work perfectly for you. It should give you the aftertouch you want for the sx. I mentioned it in one of the earlier posts. It won’t affect you just being able to turn on the sd7 and play it.

#4 here. Still tweaking registrations from S970 and discovering better styles and voices on the SX900.

Thats how things work..

With all these companies, if you want aftertouch, you need to buy the top end model
Same goes for extensive real time controlls (knobs and sliders) only the top model..

Yamaha takes this one step further..
Its high end sound features (sa2, ensemble, revo) only high end..

They want you to buy genos/montage/pa4x/kronos/Fantom and not the cheaper keys..
