I just heard from a friend about the Tyros II. I here share with everybody here.

The design process of Tyros began way back from June of 2004. It seems impossible for Yamaha to accept any new suggestions. It is said that Tyros II will enter into mass production from July 2005. The expected retail price would be Euro 3600.

As compared to Tyros, Tyros will have:

[*]Sampling function(same as 9000Pro）

[*]improved touch feeling of keys

[*]new voices and styles

[*]Playable mega voice(originally, mega voice only applies to Styles and sequences and cannot be played in real time.)

[*]improved Voice Harmonizer.

[*]functions to record direct to hard drive.

[*]SmartMedia support. Digital audio output interface.

[*]video and RGB output (changable)

[*]Two USB ports for connections to storage devices and computer.

[*]Internet connectivity.
