Yamaha is by no means unique in this respect. to the best of my knowledge virtually ALL arranger keyboards suffer from this reverb disease and it was the key to the success of my Resources for the PA arranger series. Of course I did a lot more than tweaking the reverbs but ootb it was always the first thing that I did to Registrations, Performances, User Progams or whatever name you fancy giving them. Unfortunately in choosing another style the arranger nearly always defaults to reverb settings of approx. 64, at least on my Korg PA800 and on many,many more arrangers. Another thing why I do not set great store by Songfinders or whatever they are called. Finishing a product some guy at the factory just sorted out four right hand sounds ( default settings) combined them wit h style (default), adjust the tempo and pronto: another song arrangement was born. Reverb is like a good "tiramisu ". Gorgeous when eaten in the right proportions ! On drums I rarely exceed a value of 15-20, on bass I generally opt for no reverb at all, whereas I tend to drown my strings and pads in them. Amazing it took them nearly 20 years to get down to this kind of basic knowledge, truly amazing.
regards, John

Interesting comparison but all it showed me really was how good the T3 still sounds even after all these years. No doubt the T5 has the additional sounds and features if someone really wishes to have them, the option is there to upgrade. Tyros is an evolution, still the same concept, but every version adds new things and new features.. It gets better slowly.. Butt hen there didnt happen much in the sample player technollogy of other developers, as only samples getting bigger and bigger, receiving more layers. But it is still samples playing ... Newer technollogies like virtual instruments that simulate real instruments are slowly finding their ways to pro studios these days, but require huge amounts of processing power. Yamaha had their beatifull VL technollogy, but they somehow stopped development with that and decided to go full out on sample player technollogy. Untill they adapt to new and other technollogies, not much is going to happen... Same goes for styles and audio, its gonna take many years to grow to a new level, but its in the T5 and it will slowly improve over the years. Things go very slow with yamaha these days, because they have a very small research and technollogy divison, most of that has been cut away over the last decade to maximize proffits for the chairholders. Same goes for other brands.. Its a pitty that general music didnt survive, they where creating a keyboard with audio styles (thats where ketron got their audio styles from, they took over the style developer of GEM). And sounds based on their drake 2 technollogy, which was a mix between sampling and virtuall parts.. And even full virtuallinstruments... But they never got to finish it, because of the huge costs and processor technollogy not being fast enough.
