You got my point then Yes, Roland and Korg have been doing this for a while now. I'm shocked that my Roland RS-70 (circa 2003) has more indepth velocity switching on the drum kits than you'd find on a high end Yamaha arranger. Granted the XS's kits aren't IMO up to par with Roland's..., the Tyros could clearly benefit from the use of the MotifXS's acoustic kits.

Gary..., they can do a software upgrade, BUT that software upgrade would mean Yamaha would have to include raw samples into the OS update.., again meaning you'd have to use the onboard sample memory.., which depending on the size could take longer on boot-up depending on how large the new sampled kits are.., and taking into consideration the Tyros line hasn't been praised for fast load time of samples.
