I would think so to George. Since the PSR 3000 is going to actually have 4 "Megs" more of WAV ROM than the Flagship Tyros has.

If it has 4 megs 'more' than the Tyros currently has; I would expect it to perhaps even "surpass" the Tyros in sound quality. If that is the case, then the Tyros will be quickly forgotten as the premier Arranger on the Market and by those that esteem it so dearly and with the PSR 3000's price point, it is sure to be a big hit with Arranger Keyboardists and even those who are just starting out playing Keyboards in general. I don't think most current owners of the Tyros will sell their Tyros to get a PSR 3000 but they may get the PSR 3000 as an additional Keyboard to the Tyros in their Keyboard arsenal. Which btw, Yamaha couldn't be happier about that prospect. And those who currently own a PSR 2000/2100 will be tempted to get the PSR 3000 if all the dream features on the PSR 3000 are true. The Dream features I'm talking about are: better Key Action (comparable to the Korg Pa1X/Pro), wider Keys (if they aren't wider some people wouldn't buy it because of that), Superb quality internal speakers with mind blowing (and ear popping) sound, light weight, superior built in Vocal Harmonizer (without the need of upgrading, eg., TC Helicon and Korg Pa1x/Pro scenario), superb Styles and Multipads, and as I also stated - superior quality Voices. We already know the LCD screen will be similar to the one on the Tyros and that the PSR 3000 will have Broadband connectivity plus you will be able to use an external Hard Drive or Flash Drive with it. The internal memory is 2 mb's which is better than a kick in the pants and it will have 128 note Polyphony. And we also now know it will have the Mega Voices. If it has more and a wider variety (beside Guitar and Bass) of the Mega Voices and if you can actually play them live with no hiccups like you can with the Pa1X/Pro's RX Technology that will be a HUGE accomplishment for Yamaha and will put the PSR 3000 on most Arranger Keyboardist's wish list IMO as a MUST HAVE Arranger Keyboard.

Best regards,
Mike
