What makes you think that the average workstation users has any appreciation of sound manipulation and sampling generally nevermind what the differences are between a workstation and an arranger ?????




Spalding, I just returned from a week on the roads doing Yamaha clinics...just to support your statements, we sold two Tyros4 arrangers to two different professional studios.

Information gathered from the owners was that they could do a totally professional sounding demo (including vocals) on a Tyros4 in far less time than on a Workstation...in fact, they were totally shocked at how advanced arrangers had become, especially in the past two or three years.

Over the past year or so, we also sold several S910 arrangers to studios as well, but some of these were more amateur type users...in fact, my boss, who is mainly a guitar player, has an S910 in his studio, which is quite a professional setup, with 100's of thousands of dollars invested in gear. He says the S910 is indispensable.

Arranger instruments are far easier to use than workstations....plus, with Tyros4, there is an included PC based editor for those wanting far more capabilities than the basic one on-board...it is every bit as flexible and powerful as the one in the Motif and MOX series.
