Starkeeper, Yamaha has just done this but those great voices come with a big price tag... The Tyros has the new "MegaVoices". I agree that it would make sense to really kick ass on some main voices like adding a sweet piano, sweet strings, sweet basses would be awsome, and other sweet and cool voices would work too... I too find that many of the sounds on my Yamaha won't ever get used.. I mean really think about it.. If you do jazz, rock, and classical, what in the world do you need all those sounds for.. Hell a basic rock band consists of a drummer, lead and back up guitar player, bass player, and sometimes keyboard players.. A song in that genere uses what..., basically 5 sounds.. Same with Jazz and Classical.. Jazz just takes a few instruments and hell sometimes just one. Classical takes quite a few but doesn't touch the synthy stuff. It would be cool if Yamaha just started included a MegaVoice set on their PSR line, and not have it that someone has to shell out thousands of dollars just to get the 10 megavoices they want....

This is exactly what Yamaha have been doing, hence the Sweet!, Live!, Cool! and now Mega! voices. There's always a pallete of sounds to cater for all tastes and genres, but usually in a performance the performer will focus on a handful of good solo and ensemble voices which will become that players "trait". I think Yamaha have done an excellent job in giving us a generous range of excellent voices, plus plenty of other very useable sounds should we require them. Everyone has their own tastes, be it a nice piano, a good guitar, nice electric pianos or organs. It used to be the case that you would choose a keyboard because it had ONE of these very good sounds, and thats how you made your mind up. Now we are spoilt for choice, because almost all the sounds are great! For what its worth, I'd like more synth sounds, more synth pads especially given that its a keyboard.. but I am not complaining at the ones that are provided.
