Hi guys.
What are the loading times for samples on the Tyros 4?

How long for example would it take to load 1GB.

Regards
James.

James I'd like to know this info myself, but I have a feeling it's not going to be quick.Especially compared to the mediastation.

I asked an experienced Tyros 4 user and here's what he told me:

Tyros 4: 1 GB Sample Load Time

Initial Load: approx. 30 minute
Subsequent KB Bootups: approx 1 minute

* once a sample is loaded into the T4, it remains in memory after you turn the KB off.

Unless you have flash RAM installed

Thanks for that.
That's not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

How long does it take on the Mediastation to load a 1 GB sample?

T4 does use flash ram, so once the sample has been initially loaded, and when T4 is subsequented rebooted (turned on) it takes a couple of secs for it to access the flash memory. For a large 1 gb sample around a minute, but yamaha samples are far smaller so subsequent load time is usually only a few secs depending on memory size stored.

Believe me I understand that's.... but for what I use an arranger for you couldn't tell a Steinway sample in a mix of the style anyway

......I'm a singer who backs himself up with an arranger KB...there are more then enough great sounds in these units & besides that you can still tweak those if you need to. Maybe an instrumentalist could use samples more proficiently although I don't know why after spending 4k-5k already then you need to by even more programs!... For just home playing in a living room I feel its not needed....for commercial use recording, etc, ......and if your that serious about the sound & the music to sell it use the real instruments, as no matter how you cut it although pretty good ...it's still an arranger KB trying to emulate the sounds.

About 2 seconds because it streams the data.
