Tony,
You're debating the sound issue again.....what you hear in the Genesys sound tweeked or not with extra reverbs....may not be the same sound Andrea hears and likes.

I personally favor the Yamaha pianos to my ears, you like Genesys....that's ok. Andrea is just giving his opinion about the sounds one to the other and it is right, because that is what he hears.

IMO arrangers sounds should not have to be taken home and tweeked for a month to get them to sound 10x's better. I think if the board doesn't sound good out of the box....I'll pass on it. If I wanted to tweek, I'd buy another Motif or Triton workstation to tweek.

I don't think any of us, myself included think the Tyros "just fell from heaven" it's just a new board with some very cool new features. If you're a Yamaha fan, that's exciting, if you're not then it's a whole lot of talk over not too much. I already know it has some short comings, like the o/s upgrading which Yammy had their heads in their a**&^ when designing this.

EVERY board has things that we will like and not like. To me the basic thing we buy a board for is what it sounds like to us, then we have to weigh whether the sounds make up for the shortcomings.
jam on,
Terry
