Yes I actually PLAY the Tyros as I believe this to be the principal function of an arranger keyboard.

I rarely (if ever) utlize commercial audio or midi files when I entertain. I'm neither a DJ or a karoake style performer. I prefer to consider myself a 'live' Musician-Vocalist performer FOREMOST, but with enough entertainer skills to provide a well rounded music-entertainment package.

Which was your intention (a or b ) ?


Roel, I think the best 'emphasis' would have been:

c. Scott was 'PLAYING' the Tyros

Since I actually PLAY the 'live grand' acoustic piano 100% 2 hand & totally 'live', rootless chords & all , I only EXPECT my PA speakers to reproduce the uniquely acoustic piano sounds (harmonic overtones) and nuances that the Yamaha stereo 'live grand' voice offers. When mixed to mono, this is lacking , leaving only the lackluster thin yet harsh (brittle)sound of the fundamental piano voice sample alone.

For a noisy bar room or providing buried in the background music, going stereo may not be so important, but for a 'concert performance venue' with an attentive listening audience, I find the effect of stereo draws my audiences in with realistic impact & intimate involvment. Mono just can't match this . . . period!
