Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Originally Posted By: shueymusic I've owned the PSR-3000, PSR-S900, and a Tyros 2. For $1899, I hope they have an updated keybed! Looks like it will be under 26 lbs so I'm guessing they kept the same keys. All of the added features are very nice additions. I am very happy that they added the ability to read mp3 files. I use sequences when my duo performs, I have songs from other workstations and that would be a great feature for me. I can choose between a WAV or a mp3... I wonder if I can organize them into a set list?!? We'll find out in September!! Is the Tyros 5 right around the corner or a new marketing plan with a newly named Audio Loop focused flagship arranger?!? Only time will tell! Did they totally REDESIGN the MFD to Save Transpose and ALL "registration" info? Looking at that display it looks like the same old thing again.....key feel should be the same also..the improvement in speakers as stated is geared more for the home user IMO.....

All brands don't do that...looks like if the upgrades do well, they will put them in a new tyros if they are not already present. _________________________ The older I get, the better I was..

I hate having to go into sub-menus every time I introduce a song. I was surprised that the screen is the same size. They really need to get these keyboards to sync with a tablet. I wouldn't be surprised if this keyboard does have some way to interface with an iPad or Android. We'll see.

Honestly this looks like another Yamaha GIMMICKY REHASH utilizing all the old parts from previous models and a can of Black spray paint !! But I'm sure the diehards will buy and Yamaha will make millions no matter what...go figure. get ready to see Baartman & Voncken "Doo Bee Doin'" all the way to the bank..

George Kaye Senior Member Registered: 11/24/99 Posts: 3305 Loc: Reseda, California USA	All the information I provided yesterday was sent to all US dealers in one giant emailing from Yamaha. The picture shown is 1 of about 6 pictures I received as well. I was told last year that the Tyros series is being looked at by Yamaha and possibly re-designed for the next generation. No details are known and I don't believe we will see a new model until possibly next year if not later. _________________________ George Kaye Kaye's Music Scene (Closed after 51 years) West Hills, California (Retired 2021)

The weight difference may be due to slightly larger speaker boxes, and the new amplification system. These instruments sound very impressive. We were fortunate, here in Atlantic Canada, to be the first in North America to see and hear the new PSR line, which was very capably demonstrated by Peter Baartmans, who is not a only a superb player, but a very nice and very humble guy. I am very much looking forward to getting my demo model and exploring all the great new features.

ianmcnll Senior Member Registered: 07/27/05 Posts: 10606 Loc: Cape Breton Island, Canada	Don, The Audio drums were amazing and were what impressed me the most. Smooth seamless transitions through all Variations and Fills. I'd rather not give any other specific personal opinions at least until the instruments are available to the public, as some here may feel that I might be tad biased. I'm sure Frankie ( http://www.AudioworksCT.com ) and George Kaye will be able to add more once they hear them in person.
