Just imagine that screen having touch functionallity?

Would be a dream come true... You could have the screen instead of the sheetmusic stand (with digital pdf notesheets and comtrolls to the sides.. And you could leave the screen away from the pannel, leaving more room for knobs and sliders and physical buttons..

You could have a full mixing console with 16 sliders, 16 knobs and 2x16 buttons direct under the screen... Talk about enhanced functionallity....

I'm hoping Yamaha GENOS will have TOUCH DISPLAY...........

I would bet a months sallary for that... Atleast the size of the Montage... Hopefully quite a tad bigger... But that it will have a touchscreen to me allready sounds as a certainty.

You would lose eye contact, or at least, partially obscure it.

eye contact sitting on stage yes, .....
but at home or studio no problem. Hoping the New Yamaha GENOS has a TILT and TOUCH Display..start saving..

Why should I start saving? I already have this on PA4X! And I'll bet it costs MUCH less than the rumored new Yamaha.

Don I saved this post for future reference lol...just sayin'

Thats a good point, but me just like 95% of all Tyros 5 players are home players...

As an entertainer, a 24-inch monitor would be an utter disaster. Many audiences already tend to believe that an arranger keyboard player is nothing more than a glorified Karaoke player, and some don't believe that we are singing. The less that obscures you from the audience, the better!

So then we can asume that Korg will not work this route, but Yamaha might for their arrangers? Because for homeplayers, having a big touchscreen with lots of information and easy accesible would be a step forward, and Yamaha's Tyros design is still firstly aiming at the home players.

But then suchg a screen would definately raise production prices and thats the last thing i expect Yamaha to do...So it will probably stay wishfull thinking or an optional thing for arrangers...


Build in supprt for external touschscreens however could be a great thing for every one... you dont have to use them on stage, but it would allow the developers to make edditing styles and sounds a much more userfriendly thing...

The current RISC based MPU used by Yamaha (I love that the ACORN name lives on in suprising places) is too old to support touch screen or HD, so they would need to completley change their technology platform. Its possible - but expensive.

Thats nonsense... The CVP piano has the same processor and has had a touchscreen now for many many years...

Also the Montage with a newer version of that risc processor does have a touchscreen.


There is only a single reason the tyros5 doesnt have a touchscreen, and thats the 70 year old community on psr tutorial indicating they dont want a touchscreen...

"the 70 year old community on psr tutorial indicating they dont want a touchscreen..."

With the quality of touchscreens today,----now that's behind the times. I am 75 and love my Pa4X screen,

This is a case of where " SIZE MATTERS"

I know... But still many people on the psr forums are convinced a touchscreen is a bad idea...

Very true... Imagine the tyros 5 having a touchscreen as large as the lifting part that holds the screen... Now that would be a welcome improvement...


And who currently has the biggest touchscreen? Thats the Yamaha CVP 709, its 8,5"

Bachus I agree all that wasted display space on the ancient
Yamaha displays certainly is time for a change in design and size. If they are smart it will happen,...easy navigation while playing is critical.

Imagine how much room removing the style and sound buttons from the front panel will create.... With a welltought big touchscreen interface... You wouldnt even miss them...

dnj,
Yamaha does NOT have the largest touchscreen at 8.5" The Wersi Pegasus Wing has a 10" touchscreen. Lloyd

Ah dang, i indeed forgot about the wersi...

The Sonic even has a 13" screen...

So, it appears that the 9-inch screen on my netbook PC is relatively small in comparison.
