Extra feature (on the 61 key as well)...probably a chord sequencer similar to Korg's.

I can't see why Yamaha are not willing to gamble on such a low-cost bet. A small production run would definitely show them whether their 'in house' (in other words, only asking 61 users their opinions) research is accurate or not!



I suppose, since we are both speculating here, that they simply don't need to take the gamble.

Whether it would actually be a "low-cost bet" on a "small production run" is only a guess, as we really don't know the real costs involved.

I also suspect that a 76 note Tyros based arranger would be priced higher than an already very expensive 61-note instrument. What affect would that have on sales, we can only speculate.

Whatever the case, it doesn't appear they believe a 76'er based on the Tyros, including it's earlier iterations, is a viable venture...at least up to now.
