Hi Audrey , I note with interest your comments on the Yamaha .
I bought a T2 it is without doubt a very good instrument as is the T3 .

I found out the hard and costly way ,that if you ,have a large ampount of technics styles and a very good reportoire that you use on gigs !!! think twice ...none of your favourite sounds /styles will work on the Yamaha ...not even via conversion software.

what you will need to do is virtually start all over again with your styles etc ...none will work to the same high standard of the Technics ...you will spend hours tweaking in a major way every style , and they will even then not be good enough to take out on gigs !!!

I expected with the tyros T2 to have all the latest gizmo and sounds ...I was not prepared to throw away years of good styles and have to redo all my entertaining routines ...i do not have the time or patience !! .......3rd party styles that are song specific are not available !!!

A prime example is the Glenn Miller sounds
all the proper intro endings that are on the Technics styles are not on yamaha and are not available for purchase .

Yamaha has many very good features .
it's just a great pity that style conversion from Technics is not one of them !!!

please note this reply is only my opinion and I have no intention of offending /upsetting any Yammie users

Regards .....giovanni

Ps ....Yes I sold the Yammie ...
