Yep ..That's what I do....The Tyros is a sketch pad for original music at best. I get to hear the "possibilities" but always remember that ALL of it is about what already HAS BEEN DONE....It' strength lies in reproducing and making cheap an royalty free sound beds for Videographers with low budget projects and Royalty free "noodle" music for Restaurants and other establishments (that don't have a TV) to avoid the performance rights orgs from knocking on their doors.
All that said for most local or gig CD sales a completed project on a Tyros is more than sufficient and convincing..including vocals. The general public is simply not that sophisticated to really hear the difference between a Tyros and Garritan , Sonic Implants Symphonic Strings on their Mp3 players through Skull crushers...LOL Or even in their cars on a read CD. They consume the music like a Mc burger and move on....
Many times gig CD sales are more "souvenirs" than actual serious music purchases. Unless one is looking for a national distribution channel via a major label, not already available via Itunes and Amazon...In the right hands, the Tyros could suffice for most as a CD production center. Hell the S910 could as well as the TOTL Korgs and Rolands...etc.
