Yamaha will loose big time.

And if you want to compare styles with megavoices... just send your T2 to someone with the right software and a few hours of time at their hands to convert all those 23 megavoices intoo gigasamples.




Well, the premise was that the Mediastation, with it's vast library of giga sounds, would have no trouble besting a standard Tyros2 mega-voiced style.

This was to be easily achieved, so spending "a few hours" making the Mediastation's gig-samples ready to use seems a long way from simplicity, and probably only achievable, if at all, in the hands of an expert.

Mega voices in a Tyros2 style, cover more than guitar and bass...there are also mega-voiced saxophones, strings, brass, trumpet, to name a few more, which makes the Mediastation's task a lot harder, as if it wasn't that already.

One of Yamaha's strengths is it's mega-voiced styles, so using older Yamaha styles without them, is weaseling out of the original comparison...the Tyros2's styles all have mega-voices, and the initial comparison was with the Tyros2.
