Excellent! I think if Yamaha made the Tyros II with 256 note 'true' Polyphony they will sell a ton of them for that reason and that reason alone. Nobody, and I mean "NOBODY", has a 256 note polyphony portable Arranger keyboard on the market! Sure Yamaha has the CVP 307/309 but try lugging them to Gigs. Yikes!! They are NOT portable as we all know. Plus the CVP 307 and 309 DON'T have 256 (true) polyphony but instead have 128 + 128. NOT 256 across the board!


It would be revolutionary!! Yamaha could take it over the top with a 256 note polyphony Tyros II!

Loads of WAV ROM too!! The Tyros has 96 MB of wav rom. Just think if the Tyros II had 250 MB of wav rom!! Droves of people would buy it for that 'accomplishment' alone IMO! It would have the largest wav rom of ANY other Keyboard on the market - Arranger or otherwise! Another head turner and curiosity getter I would venture to say.

If they don't give the Tyros II 256 note polyphony out of the Box, let them give it to us with the addition of PLG expansion Boards! But give it none the less. You'll make the Tyros II a "guaranteed" winner if you do IMHO. That being of course - is if the sounds excel in 'every' department and the added wav rom isn't just 'taking up' space. But 256 note 'true' polyphony is a winner in and of itself...

Best regards,
Mike
