Seems to me after reading all the response and listening to the perceived tone of them, that is exactly what we're doing here, having a bit of a big boys peeing contest.

So.....to join in on the big boys fun.
A sampler for me on board is useless. The vast majority of on board sampler owners say they have to have them but rarely if ever use them.

Sockets for gooseneck lamps....so what.The Tyros's keys all light up for the spectacular display.


The music stand is too high on the Tyros, give me a break. One should have their music memorized anyway.

There are a total of 4 outputs on the Tyros that are all independantly assignable for the different parts.

The expansion boards can be nice...with the exception of the VL in my opinion which has 1 note polyphony that I found absolutely restrictive. On top of which there are tons of on board sounds that can be tweeked to no end with the sound software. Once again reality is that we all probably use perhaps a dozen sounds over and over again on any board.

The xlr mic input is nice but not a mandatory thing to produce spectacular vocals. On top of which if one wants real good clean vocals they should run them outside of the board anyway.

So....I still maintain as with my earlier post, they are both excellent boards and what it all boils down to are the sounds and styles that excite each of us. The rest of this tripe is all just stuff.
jam on,
Terry
