This is the one feature I've wanted for years in an arranger, but never really expected to see. Something to make the styles seem less static.

I would hope it to work something like a Karma effect more so than like Band in A Box. What I mean by that is allowing real time ( live ) control, via sliders or knobs. I can control BIAB to a point by changing weights of a style part, but not while using it in real time.

For the first time in a long time something in the arranger realm that actually has piqued my interest.. A while back, I was considering a PA800, but I think after trying it out a bit, it isn't giving me that much sound wise that distinguishes it from my PA80. The 800 is an improvement, no doubt.. just not enough of an improvement for me. Think I'll wait this out a bit.. maybe let some others betatest the Tyros 3 while we're at it.

If this ever does get "off the ground", I hope Yamaha adds a better drum sample palette to the mix, or if not, at least a better sampling system. The T2's sampling function is an exercise in frustration at best, and pretty much worthless for making new drum sets.

At least that's been my experience with it, and after reading everything I can possibly find on the net, it seems like that's pretty much been the experience of others who have tried working with it, at least for new drum kits anyway.

Thanks Jorgen for the info...

Cheers,

AJ
