I'm sold How could anyone not want to buy a T4 after that lead in.

Interesting..

It looks very much like a T3.

If it sounds anything like T3 also, I wouldn't be interested at all. I like my T3, but it would have to sound completely different to justify the upgrade, we shall wait and see. More of the same won't be good enough to justify changing.

I'm hoping for a machine that would eclipse anything else out there including the Audya.

The Tyros4 will not sound completely different.

My guess is that it is an internal upgrade, much like the S910 was over S900.

Yamaha has an established customer base that already are pleased with the Yamaha sound and operating system.

I believe the Tyros4 is intended for Tyros and Tyros2 owners, as well as PSR users that want to upgrade.

Now is a good time to buy a leftover Tyros3.

In the pictures it looks like there is an XLR Mic input. They probably did some tweaking to the harmonizer as well.

Start selling off your T3's.......S910's......WOW!!!

Have to agree. The XF8 is not all that much more than the XS8 as an "upgrade". But they did add some nice things and took away some nice things. Added 136 voices (for those who run out of useful voices on the XS8) They took out the FW and made it an option. Added some $300 Flash RAM card options to save samples rather than reload upon start up. All in all still the king of workstations (47% of the market. The additional ARPS are what I would be most interested in.

I exoect the T-4 to be the same. Looks like the Hard Drive is still there (maybe an SSD?) nah.... XLR likely means phantom Power and condenser mike recording which is huge for those who compose and record solely on their their units and those of us who love the Beta 87. (could this mean eight or more of onboard audio recording as well?) Would love to see "direct to USB recording" like the XS has as well.

More SA2 sounds, Styles, Multis, Since the T3 IS a sampler the additional voices are less of an impact. The SA2 Voice packs Yamaha released were pitiful really. I bought the Trombone.

It is my experience that people who don't use Yamaha products have higher expectations of Yamaha products than those who actually like and use them. The s910 was a worthy upgrade for $50 more than the S900. The USB recording and new screen alone was worth that.

It's like DAW software...skip a version for a more intense upgrade experience.

Impuls

so should i wait till Sept. 17th to buy my AUDYA?

Yamaha always makes high quality demos,
But the actual keyboards (Tyros line) lacks in realism IMO, at least in comparison with AUDYA

KETRON is opposite,
they make crappy demos,
but the keyboard is WAY AWESOME

so too much hype for Yamaha again,
as was Tyros 3,

Yamaha likes to tease, tease, tease,
but we all like to be pleased, pleased, pleased...

but maybe the'll prove me wrong this time around
we'll see on the 17th

Can't say I thought the Audya was anywhere near "awesome", but tastes vary...each of us knows what he/she want to hear coming out of their speakers.

Some think Audya is the best.

Some don't.

Personally, I prefer Yamaha.

That's the beauty of opinions...they can be different and still be right.
