personally I wouldnt buy them or use them. Someone please enlighten me.


For the same reason that that same guys buys expansion packs for Tyros 5....

While the tyros 5 is great as a complete package, you still cant compare most of its sound quallity to a VST setup... With VSTs you can stack 5 or 6 effects on every instrument.. And still have room for more.. This allows you to build much braoder sounds.. Good examples where VSTs blow away Tyros 5 are pianos, orchestral sounds ( imagine a whole ballanced orchestra of 76 musicians under your hands, with vellocity switching, articulations and ensemble sound splitting) and synth sounds, pads, choirs out of heaven, EPs that sound so close to real...

Where Tyros 5 shines is the fact that its so incredibly well ballanced that it almost never requires any edditing, all sounds are so well ballanced, to archieve the same ballance on a style player with VSTs takes you hours of edditing...

But with all my gear, if i had to choose a single board/instrument, i would still choose the Tyros above all my soft and hardware, because you switch it on and play away all evening long...
