Telmo works miracles using his Tyros in combination with VSTs..



Also check out all those other great videos he has using both his tyros and VSTs

Hi Bachus
Yes, I am familiar with Telmo's work and we posted back and forth several times in other forums. He used to run three Classic Sound modules with his Tyros 4 before upgrading to the Tyros 5. He is very creative and knows how to ultilize his sounds well and makes good use of his multipads, audio multipads and the different sounds he wants.

I once suggested that he would be very good as scoring sound tracks for movies or videos. Ironically I also suggested he would get good use out of the East West virtual instrument " Voices of Passion", being able to get vocalization effects on top of the other unique sounds he uses in his compositions. He was quite content with his Tyros at that time.

From the video, it looks like he added a second keyboard and synth sounds. He is not replacing the Tyros voices for better ones or ( better VTS), but using a second source to get different sounds that complement his Arranger sounds. Any additional sounds or voices, by any means, degrade the level of the original arranger voices, style, arrangement, audio multipads or minimize the use of his arranger or sound "shabby" in comparison.

whats the difference in using a 2nd keyboard, or programming your tyros to play them directly.. in the end its a single composition

I know there are also some videos where he also uses them VSTs in some style tracks, just dont remember which ones, you need to find them yourselves by browsing his youtube videos..

Sure you are happy with your Tyros 5 duo (as am i).. it sounds great and suits almost every situation.. But did you know that all this great new technollogy that Yamaha throws into the Tyros was all introduced in VSTs long time before .. They only made it more and easy playable.. I am quite happy with the final sound quallity..


But when it comes to certain sounds, the Tyros still falls short... there is a lot of room for improvements...

Listen to LA strings... instead of an ensemble, they give you a full ORcghestra at your hands ..



Or this comparison of EZ drummer and Superior drummer, my favourite drum VSTīs.... This technollogy shows that the best drums dont come from audio drum tracks, but from sampled drums with many vellocity layers and round robin



And then offcourse there is realistic piano acoustic piano sounds, as Abacus said, there is Ivory2 as the best sampled library, with amny orriginal top brands of concert grands ... personally i like pianoteq 5 more.. its a virtual modelled instrument, calculated by computers and has a fairly light CPU load..




or the virtual modelled synths from Arturia.. perfect Virtual analogue copies of the orriginal synths of the past..



Or just the next level of choirs, espescially for those playing in worship





You probably know how diverse the world of VSt's is...


Now where Yamaha has been really good at in Tyros in creating really easy accessible versions of these VSt technollogy advancements into the Tyros range..

And i hope to see some of the above technollogies making it into the next version of Tyros, things like we have seen in the recently released reface range would work very well in a Tyros too..

Untill that time, adding VST's to an arranger is the step i have been wayting for... Wersi currently is doing a great job with their OAX, taking VSTs a step further then the OAS... personally i hope for an arranger that allows you integration of VSTs that run on a remote PC/MAC much l;ike Akai is doing with VIP, or NI is doing with Kontroll, or even better Nektar and panorama.. If you make the arranger a 16 channel audio interface accessible from and to the PC..
