the reason it does not sound live is simply because Yamaha's primary market for Tyros is ex home organists. People who don't care if they play outside of solo instruments register, they want to mix strings and organ when playing a glen miller arrangement. They don't want live bassists or live drummers because its just not suitable for their style of play. In fact most don't even like much bass unless its the soft 'pom, pompom' of an 8' flute bass note

Yamaha have done a great Job at satifying the needs of the ex organists and a live feel would alienate the bread and butter market, seriously impacting sales.

The minority who use it professionally either have to play in that style or spend quite some time tweeking.
