Just goes to show yet again, that one should test keyboards with their own ears.
For quite some time I have been put off even trying a tyros because of the demos, and the opinions of others.
Well that was a mistake, the tyros arrived today and I have got to say I am impressed by both the sound and the operational capability.
The only proviso is the keybed is too small and very "airy fairy" for me, but with a 76 note controller it works very well. I have note got into the harmoniser section yet, as I have been spoiled by the Korg and Ketron harmonisers, but I only really use them mostly for doubling and the odd 2 part harmony, so I dont think I will be missing too much.
I will get into programming it and setting it up fro me over the next few days and get it out to gigs. It's a keeper for me, and at the price (1195 US) an absolute bargain.
Cheers, and thanks for all the thoughts provided by others on this thread.
