It has nothing to do with making a sucky demo. Is it asking too much of a company who is known for producing keyboards with good sounds to at least use the factory patches in a COMPANY DEMO???

People want to hear the Tyros 3..., not the sound of the Tyros 3 the way the demoer thinks it should sound. If you're showing a keyboard..., show the bloody thing.., not your version of it.

If I listen to a demo I want to hear THE KEYBOARD as it's supposed to sound programed by the company. Personally I could give two craps about the demoer's idea of how it should sound..., Peopole may not be buying a keyboard to sound like him... Why should anyone have to hear the demoers version of a patch..??? We may have differing opinions on how it should sound, but because he used his own rather than the facoty patch..., the person interested isn't given the option to hear the REAL patch itself to make a judgement...

Also..., if the keyboard sounds so great.., then why is it tweeked for the demo to begin with????? Are you implying the demoer has to tweek it as the factory sounds would produce a sucky demo...?

Look at it like this..., if the demoer has to tweek the sound of company sponsored demo for a keyboard and use their own settings..., what's that saying about the keyboard? I have a hard time accepting the Tyros 3 sounds terrible out of the box as Yamaha does a very good job at finishing those voices prior to mass productions.

If the demoer can't produce a good demo using the factory sounds..., is the problem the keyboard or the person playing it?

I have no problem with these demo specialists using personal settings, BUT if it's a company demo to showcase the instrument..., then potential buyers need to HEAR THE REAL instrument..., and not the specialists idea of how it should sound. You can't blame intereted customers for getting pissed off who watched a company sponsored demo not knowing that the material was altered to the personal specifications of the product specialists.
