It's better, but needless to say, Yamaha has NOT nailed it thus far. Something is missing and that something, in my opinion, is the 'substance' of the real instrument. It's like Yamaha is giving you the outer shell of the instruments sound (even though that sound, admittedly, is pretty good) but leaving out the most important part or aspect, which is the 'meat','grit', or perhaps more appropriately the 'substance' of the real thing. I agree though that it is MUCHO better than what is on the T2 or, for that matter, the T1. It's also nice to know that Yamaha is continually advancing their voice architecture; and hopefully one day to the point that you will not be able to distinguish, in Yamaha's case - a Voice, from that of the real thing. More than likely it will not be based on any sampled instrument sound but on a 'yet to be realized' software 'modeled' instrument sound i.e. Virtual Instrument (VSTi). Furthermore, I believe one day all of our keyboard instruments will be based on VSTi's (in other words software modeled sounds) instead of the current 'Sampled' based approach we now have in "most" of our keyboards currently on the market.

PS: It's about time Yamaha finally put up a decent demo for their new Flagship eh?..

Best,
