That would be great as they are pretty much the same and if it can talk to the BCR in similar way to the Korg that would be fantastic. I am in the same country but differant state (QLD). Which is a pity as your skills with the BCR are phenomenal. --- In bc2000@yahoogroups.com, "Royce" <rpcfender@...> wrote: > > It has just occurred to me that I have a TG33 tucked away in a cupboard. > The TG33 is a desktop version of the SY22. > So who knows, perhaps this is the next unit for treatment. > > Royce > > > --- In bc2000@yahoogroups.com, "tomcc59" wrote: > > Hey Royce do you think the TQ5 would have similar SYs Exs to the SY22?

I now have immediate control like my other knobby synths. I don't have to think what I am doing now.
