CONS
would like more Controller foot switches
Would like at least 4 Audio track recording on HD
Harmonizer is the same old same old (I use a TC Helicon M in the loop inserts) which gives more RT control rather than diggin through Yamaha screens.

Just fixing to return my ty3. Someone screwed up and sent me the new

YAMAHA tyrosIII workstation pro with 76 weighted keys and the totl helicon harmoniser by mistake......or......
might trade for a ty1....

lol

Donny,

I got my T3 yesterday and without a doubt it is the best sounding board I have tried. The sounds are incredible! I upgraded from a PSR3000 so it is a huge difference for me. But I did own a Korg PA1X and for a short time a Ketron MidJay Plus. I like this more than either of those.

I am posting my day to day findings on the PSR Tutorial site if your interested. I am trying to stick to the facts and not blow out a lot of BS about the board.

By the way, I used a style conversion program provided by Yamaha and most of the styles I have been using are good enough to use my next gig. I have 6 gigs next week and I will probably use the T3 on them. The layout makes sense(at least to me) and all the buttons seem to fall right where you need them.

For those looking at the specs and think it is a T2 on steriods I suggest you go listen to one - then decide.

Kidding guys (donnie)

What can I say about the ty3, the bottom line is everyone should set down to one, with a good set of speakers, then make up your mind.

You have to try it.

cheers......poz

Kingfrog please elaborate more on this method of use though loops inserts.

POZ sorry to hear the Tyros 3 didnt work out for you

Poz, what a shame sorry to hear of the problem

Donny, we'll be waiting for your comments once you hear play T3 on Monday.

I'll be spending the day playing Dr. Bob's Tyros3 on Monday (Oct 20th). He's got a Tyros2 too, so I'll have the opportunity to audition & compare them side by side.
