Yamaha could easily create those kis to load into the Tyros 3 Diki.... However, the most logical and cost effective thing for them to do is break down what ever wall they have between the workstation and arranger design teams.., and let them play together every now and then. Roland and Korg clearly do this as it's obvious by what the PA's sound set orginiated from..., and its carried over synth editing features... Plus Roland is clearly sharing not only between the two departments.., but even breaking bread with the drum department (as can be seen with the drum kit samples on the G-70)

Based on the demos of the kits I've heard so far (in the songs, and the solo demos).. The Motif XS still towers over the T3 with its drum kits. This is Yamaha's Pro Arranger Workstation for Pete's Sake! The easiest and most cost effective thing to do would be to carry some of those kits from the XS to the Tyros line.. Hell they already carry voices from the Tyros line over to the Motif series.... If the XS is worthy of those great sounding Tyros signature voices...., then clearly the (obvious strong support for the Tyros line by its users) should be enough to say that Tyros users should be (or ARE) worthy of getting some of those great XS sounds too..., especially at what price they have to pay to get the Tyros.

I can't imagine how many complaints would come from users if suddenly they had better quality acoustic and electronic kits on their Tyros.. I would love to hear a style on the Tyros that then had the acoustic kit replaced by a kit from the Motif XS. If Yamaha did that.., then backed off on the compression just a bit HOLY SH$&^ would that style POP!
