Right, its' because both this feature & the PSR3000 came out AFTER Tyros1. Tyros1 has been in poroduction for 3 years afterall.

One significant difference with the 'Internet' feature on Tyros2 is that that it allows not only internet download of new Yamaha styles, but brand new VOICES as well. I don't mean just edited preset Tyros2 voices, but brand new INSTRUMENT (audio samples), of which are downloaded, stored, and later accessed from the Tyros2 hard drive. New instrument (voices) will be bundled along with new style offerings, and featured as one of the auto-accomp parts or one of its OTS instruments, for live play, or selected to be used in another style as you wish. Whether the internet download feature will be big success I don't know, but the added BONUS of 'brand new instrument samples' to expand the Tyros2's sound (voice) palette, sounds exiciting. I do know that Tyros2 programmers are currently hard at work creating new Tyros2 downloadable styles & sound samples.
