Tyros has many new Sweet!, Live! and Cool! voices including most from the 9000 and 9000 pro. The Mega voices, 10 of them have been designed especially for creating rhythm sections, hence comprise guitar and bass sounds. Yamaha have incorporated several voices into one by the use of velocity switching and mapping of zones across the octaves. So for example an acoustic guitar mega voice in the 1st two octaves features no less than 8 different velocity switched sounds, ranging from open and closed strums to hammered strings, slides and tapping effects. In the following octaves there are pitched harmonic effects, slide sounds and other twiddly bits to essentially offer the ingredients for creating that authentic rhythm guitar sound. I've listed some of the new voices on the Tyros in the update to my Tyros page review at svpworld.com if anyone is interested.

Simon
