Gary,

I think it is wise to be skeptical...we can't be 100% sure till we get official photos and specs from Yamaha.

I think the overall upgrade will be relatively modest, much like it was from Tyros to Tyros2...all the way to Tyros4.

I also feel the biggest news will be the availability of the 76-note model, quite possibly using an extended version of the great feeling FSX keybed.

The CVP-609 flagship didn't have Audio Drum styles, and maybe the Tyros5 will forgo them as well, and perhaps, instead, add more kits.

Of course, all these questions will be answered very soon.

Ian
