Who knows, may be they would give us a pleasant surprise and release possibly next summer a module of the Tyros II.
That would give those of us who want to have the Tyros II with 76 or 88 keys (that is with a controller keyboard) and those of us who would not even consider spending a fortune on a new flagship arranger to be encouraged in to the Tyros II customer base and culture.
If they are worried about the cost to produce such a product, the Tyros II module does not even have to have all of the features of the keyboard version of the Tyros II. For example, they could eliminate the internet capability, they would not have to make keybeds for the module nor would they have to use all of the physical materials as they would with a full keyboard.
The good thing about this (from Yamaha’s perspective), is that if the people who don’t want the Tyros II module with reduced features, And the task of connecting it via midi to a controller keyboard, and generally not having everything on one keyboard, but like the sounds and styles, they would be more inclined the by the full version Tyros II keyboard.
