I can see your point!.. Man I can just see it now if the Tyros comes out and flops.... Honestly I think Yamaha may have taken some good advice from WE USERS this time when making this board. Granted this is no SD-1 or GEMS flagship, it is however a good step foward for Yamaha... I think this Tyros cold be a really big step in the right direction for Yamaha with their arrangers. Of course the hype is going to be high, but you have to consider how dedicated some of the players here on the forum are... Only time will tell... We just have to wait until these boards are in the hands of users and are out there performing with them...
