Chris,

Experience suggests that Yamaha will not give anything away until a 
formal product release occurs. I tried to tease out some information 
about the new module from Yamaha's public relations to no avail. The 
sources that this group has been able to tap--some of them highly 
placed--have confirmed that new electronics are on the docket but 
have provided no details. I've managed to corral some information 
from peripheral parties, but most of it is no better than partially 
informed guesswork. The fortuitous leak of the PCY 150 in the 
XpressII's manual, with the further evidence of the three-trigger 
snare, is probably as good an indication of its impending existence 
as anyone will get until the little creature is actually born. But 
with summer NAMM upon us, that time may well be nigh. Sometimes a 
direct question to someone like Dave Jewell or Dave Kysicki, 
however, can get a surprise answer. But the stars have to be aligned 
correctly.
