I wonder if the TRS-MS02 speakers have a higher wattage rating than the MS01's do. The MS01's 20Wx2 with a 40W Sub just didn't cut the mustard from what many people have said. If Yammie doubled the wattage of both the Satellites and Sub it would sure add another incentive to get a T2 and of course make it better suited for Lounge or other small venues.

Oh btw, the User Flash Memory on the Tyros2 is only 3.2Mb compared to the Tyros' 3.3Mb. Why did they take a step backward on such an essential feature? Memory prices are much cheaper today and it doesn't make sense to me why Yamaha didn't put in a much larger User Memory. Say 20 Mb's or more. It would always come in handy.

Another beef is the Sequencer. From the looks of things the note capacity for song recording is similar to the Tyros at 300kb maximum?? Which is around 35,000 notes if I'm not mistaken. The note capacity in my opinion should be similar to regular Workstations such as the Roland FantomX's at 260,000 notes! The Motif ES has a 226,000 note capactiy on its Sequencer. Why is Yamaha so stingy when it comes to their Arrangers, especially their 'high-end' ones?

If Yamaha wants more Professionals to purchase their high end Arrangers they need to put in more professional features to accommodate them. And they need to quit marketing their Flagship Arrangers as keyboards for the Home Hobbyist for goodness sakes. Display them in the Professional Keyboard area of Music Stores. Home Hobbyists will surely walk the few additional feet to check out the showroom displaying Keyboards for Professionals don't you think? It will change the 'image' of the product from a toy to BOY!!! what an amazing product! And it's right here in the PRO keyboard area! YO! Salesman, I'll take it.

I've got other complaints (which many of you know by now ) but I'll withhold from speaking them at this time. I don't want your smiles to turn into frowns. The Tyros2 is a 'big' leap ahead as far as 'sounds' go. But features are what professionals are looking for not just sounds. You provide both and you have an instant winner. You provide only one in the equation and you've essentially missed the boat and your total sales would not be nearly as abundant. Which I'm sure Yammie realizes, right??

Best regards,
Mike
