Hi everybody,
I played the Tyros today by Oostendorp in Wezep(Netherlands)
They were for me exiting hours!!
I never played an instrument like the Tyros.
Well done Yamaha!!
In real the instrument looks very sleek, in a nice silver color and a very good layout.
The added speaker set looks very good and sounded extremely well.
No distortions and you can play it very loud on a HI-FI level.
But you have to balance the volume on the sub-bass with the speakers on the Tyros to get a good sound and not a *boom,boom* sound!!
The screen is very beautiful , clear and well designed and will guide you to everything you want the Tyros to do.
Make sure there are no lights shining directly on the display.
I liked the touche although you have to get used to the intial touch and the aftertouch because it's different then the KN6000 but that is a matter of hours to get that under control.
The first thing I did was playing a lot of rhythm styles with OTS, so you will get a very good idee what this instrument can do.
I have to say it was amazing how it sounded!!
The intro's,mains, and endings and break where in one word ''GREAT'' and in combination with OTS you have 4 perfect registrations.
Especially the pro-styles are very real and are programmed with the MEGA-voices
Although I played Technics keyboards for over 10 years(2000-6000 series), comparing it with the new KN7000, I think the Tyros is much better in sounding,styles,layout,screen and chord recognizing, so I bought one!!!!
In about a few weeks I got my own Tyros an then the fun can begin.
But I can imaging that there are other keyboard players who don't like the Tyros very well comparing it with there own instrument at this time.
For me the Tyros is number ONE comparing it with the KN 6000/7000 from Technics.
Gerrit.
