I hate to say this? or maybe im happy to say this... but so far from these demos - the S950 is sounding wayyy better than the Tyros 4.

Its punchier / more live / more realistic!!
Those drums and distortion guitars are phenomenal!

the only big drawback still holding me back is the shallow mushy keybed, But I think the good outways the bad here!! and its half the price of the T4!!!

The demos do sound wonderful, but demos always sound great. Still, the Audio Drum styles sound superior to styles without audio drums. That Retro R&B style sounded out of this world. It sounds really vintage.

I would imagine that the non-Audio Drum styles sound more like the T3 and T4 - unless some these other styles take advantage of the new distortion DSPs.

Price (and internal speakers) not being a factor, I would definitely choose a T4 over this board, but I'm still encouraged as a future buyer by these demos.

We certainly agree here, Larry. If I thought I could get the same performance as a Tyros4 with the substantially less expensive S950, I would be selling my T4, buying the S950, and pocketing the difference.

However, having so many excellent (and very useful) SA2/SA1 voices, the new drum kits (and, like Audio Drums, the MIDI drums are also samples; only individual), plus the nicer feeling keyboard (subjective/personal) with aftertouch, and 500 styles with oodles of Premium Styles available, still makes the T4 the sonic leader in the Yamaha stable in my opinion. I played and heard the S950, so I am speaking from some experience.

But, the S950 is definitely a must have if you are wanting to keep things a bit less expensive, and, in your case, be able to purchase two instruments, thus having a backup, a wise move, especially, since you play so often. Plus, the benefits will include the VH-2 Harmonizer and some really useful additional SA Voices, along with the aforementioned Audio drum styles.

Ian, you and I posted almost exactly the same thing in two different threads, at about the same time!
Great minds think alike, for sure. smile
