Inferior?! I'd never use "that" word. I still think Tyros1 a superb sounding arr keyboard and more than suitable to satisfy any audience out there. Tyros2, on the other hand offers dramatically improved voices (aka: super articulation), bringing far greater "live playing" instrument realism potential to keyboard emulation. In addition, Tyros2 includes a dramtically improved keyboard action: semi weighted, more responsive, and similar to what I remember my Technics KN keyboard had. Another welcome addition is the T2's built in Digital Audio (WAV) HD recorder, which allows you to conveniently record both vocals & keyboard ouptut simultaneously. Without it I could not have recorded "Blue Bayou" live on the fly the way I did.

Peter, whether you decide to upgrade to Tyros2 or not is up to you. Afterall, the thing our audiences most appreciates is the musicianship & artistic expression coming from "us" behind the keyboard. No electronic keyboard can replace/substitute for that.

Hi Scott,

Well inferior is probably a cruel way of putting it but i'm sure it's reality. When you compare things one has to be the best and the other inferior to it.

I've not bought the Tyros 2 yet, I know it will be better than Tyros 1 but i'm still unsure of how much. When you heard my recording of Blue Bayou you passed the song as having been recorded on Tyros 2 when actually it was recorded on Tyros 1, it's this sort of thing that makes me hesitant about upgrading. With your proffessional ear Scott even you did not instantly spot the difference!

When I hear recordings made on my kn7000 and those made on my Tyros 1 they sound very different to me and the audiences but how many people would notice the difference between Tyros 1 and Tyros 2

It's just my thoughts Scott and the reason i'm still holding back from Tyros 2

Kind regards

Peter
