Although it was a while back, when I spoke with Yamaha UK there were no plans to produce a Tyros Pro. Of course things have changed since then, but it is my feeling that there will not be a "pro" version but perhaps a newer model of similar proportions. However there is still a lot of steam in the Tyros which OS updates could unleash, and there's the hidden agenda of possible expansion connectors in the hard drive bay. I'm sure that the next PSR2100 replacement will most likely offer a colour screen, a few megavoices and begin to move in the same direction as Tyros has. Where will this leave the Tyros is anyones guess at the moment.. The 9000 pro will never be the success of the Tyros, though it has a strong following. Furthermore, I dont think any future keyboards will offer the same "wow" factor as did the Tyros when launched. Adding acoustic guitar sounds which actually sound like the real thing was a big move in making styles begin to sound more realistic, I only hope that Yamaha don't try and put sample loops in the styles! I'd like to see provisional extra ins for breath control, REAL sound synthesis on board, some decent deep bass sounds and more synthy pads, other than that my wish list is short! The 2000 and 2100 are big sellers for yamaha and its likely that we will see more progress being made in this line, given its appeal to a wider audience.

These are just my thoughts.
