"ok have yself good informed about new tyros
i saw the demonstration with peter baardmans and michael voncken in austria an

what you wanna know let me hear it...................

ok my first impression

WUNDERBAHR GREAT machine

sounds are almost ALL new sampled
styles are wunderfull and easy to edit like a midifile
NOT to compare with tyros1 only in manual contact

they using megasamples and megasounds
the sounds are all layerd and you can make youre own 4 layers
the saxofoons are so that if you play like a normal sax legato you will hear the valves of the real saxofoon ( my believe is you must learn to play like that )

the drums are complete different than the tyros1 its more open and better sampled ( for me a little too high but ok......)

and yes it can read youre txt files
harddisk recording need a extern hd you can go to 200 gb
what you hear is what you record...............................................

NOW it stays there where you left i mean
if you goto the oas normal yit goes back to nr one now it stays on the number you left...................

the organs are new sampled and sounded great no longer the yamaha organsound but a real b3 or jimmy smith klaus wunderlich organ
first impression i had was very very good

IM REALY THINKING TO GO OVER........ but im still thinking

i must admitt the second time i saw it it was less imposing.......lol"

And here is another one from another forum:

Just received a letter from my local music store which highlights the changes you will see on the new tyros 2.
This is the gist of the letter.
Over the last two years there has been 2 significant developments - THAT THE TYROS LACKS.
1. The Korg PA1x - this keyboard took sound quality and expression to a new level - far greater than the Tyros. The only drawback has been the ease of use: things are generally a lot easier on the Tyros.
Justin, my local guru, then goes on to say, if he was given the task of designing the ultimate keyboard, this is what he would do.
1. Keep the same operating system as the Tyros.
2. Add the awsome quality of the Korg PA1x's sounds and rhythms with their amazing expression.
3. Add the USB feature as on the PSR3000 but put it at the front where the disk drive used to be.
4. Ability to easily make a CD and add other 'live' instruments or vocals.
5. Organ section - to make the keyboard comparable in sound to a traditional organ.

Well - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YAMAHA HAVE DONE WITH THE NEW TYROS 2.

The launch is October 2005 with a price of about £3000, this is with stand and new speakers.
A part exchange price of £1334 for my PSR3000, which leaves a balance of £1666.

I can almost see you Tyros owners drooling with anticipation. Well I too am going to join the club.

There's bound to be a demonstration day when it arrives. I intend to be first in the queue.

What do you mean by saying : "for me a little too high..." concerning the drums ? Do you mean too high in the equalisation ? Do they lack bass frequencies and is it not possible to correct them ?

rumbero.......

That is a quoted post in another forum....
its not my words

Ok Dnj
I forgot it was a quotation! Sorry.
Pity, I would like to have an explanation of "little too high" .

1) drums pitched too high
2) drum volume too loud in the mix
3) drum programmer had too much to drink last night

I can of course only speculate, but I suspect that he may have meant #2.
