I happen to think the Brass sounds are awesome and it's one of the reasons I use it with my Wedding band and to play Big Band music during cocktail hours.

Also, the Tyros 4 Synth sounds are Sound Samples coming directly from the Yamaha Motif XF and those sounds are some of the best of the best. I use quite a few of those sounds even when I perform with my Motif XF. The PCM Synth sound is use on Ke$sha's Tik Tok and I use several Synth PAD sounds on Prince's Purple Rain.

I consider myself pretty objective and not a fanboy of any particular brand as I own or have owned Ketron, Korg, Roland, Yamaha keyboards. I use the best equipment for the job.




I agree wholeheartedly, Al, and like you, the brass and synth sounds are more than satisfactory.

I can't say I am not a fanboy wink , but, the reason I am one is because I simply love the sound and layout of the Yamaha Tyros4 more than any other arranger I've tried.

All personal opinion, of course.
