It looks OK but if it's going to do as much as it says it can do on the specification why as it only got a 2 x 16 characters LCD display?

Miden......I only added the link out of Jim Esh's original link above for this unit...

Sorry for reviving an old post. What's next after Tyros 2. Yamaha PSR3100. http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/012575.html

Esh, I went to that CME link and then their website for additional info on that new line.

Very interesting. Like the choice of keyboard size.

The display onboard does seem minimal. Also I note the mic in and outputs and headphone inputs are only 1/4 plugs. Why not XMLR with all these state-of-art features?

These units bear watching tho.

Maybe theres a Video out so you can choose what size external flat panel sceen you like also?

Scotty,something to take to Yamaha the next time you meet with them,regarding the Tyros 3...
I have read many,MANY times about peoples displeasure with the fact that both Tyros had only 61 keys.

But,this didn't automatically mean that folks would prefer an 88 key version,as that would turn it into a musical surfboard,so to speak.

Some people have been clamoring for 76 keys:

But,to me(and not *just* me,I assure you)76 keys have never had any sort of a sense of style,visually speaking-It always looks like a keybed that was just "plopped-down" with out any regard.

This is what I would propose for the Tyros 3:

A 6 octave C to C,73 note keybed.Very neat in appearance(like the 61 key) but now you have 12 more keys(and not 27 more for an 88)
Portability factor remains good and you would be surprised at how much a 73 almost "feels" like an 88,in terms of "space".

What do you think?

Why not just enjoy your current instrument to the fullest and worry about the next model when it's on the market?
When the T3 is out why worry about the T4 and so on and on... Somehow it's like buying a keyboard without even liking it. Then why buy it in the first place?
I've heard quite a few recordings by T2 owners and have yet to hear falling brass or other special effects. Hearing breath doesn't require a special playing technique so I am not referring to that. They sure love to tell me about all the bells & whistles but I never get to hear those bells & whistles. Owning and using are two different concepts.

Happy Playing

Taike ... I think people do this because they hope that someone sees or hears their desires for certain features in a future board ... once the new board is released it is too late to 'cry' over the features that are not there ... this does not necessarily mean that they aren't enjoying the current model, just looking to enjoy the next one more ...
