Put in a price request a while back to one of my favorite big box companies(before I met Frank)re: Tyros 5....this was well before my interest in Ketron.

After some time, got a recent call with an offer for a Tyros 5 and a 24 month deal. Now I've owned a Tyros 4...might be a better instrument than Tyros 5.

In my mind, price was too high. So, what price would get you go snap up a new Tyros 5?

The minute there's the slightest verifiable hint of the New Genos the Tyros 5 price will plummet as people dump them,....I say wait if you want the T5 till then.

Financially its not the right moment to buy a Tyros 5 if you will want to sell it when a new marvelous wanna have keyboard arives on the market

The Tyros 5 is not even on my radar. Even if it was $2000! The size and the lack of what I need in a performance/creative keyboard holds me back. The Pa4X fills in all the things I need... touch, tone, function, form, and weight. The Tyros 5 sounds great but the lack of a real sequencer and the size really turns me off.

A Genos OR Tyros 6 @ $3499 with the form and features I need would be something to look at in the (near?) future! I hope they open up the market for more musicians to utilize the features of an arranger keyboard! i.e. User Style/Pattern creation... Ableton style of clip management... touch sensitive pads for samples and drum programming... playlist/set list/songbook feature that is easy to use and personalize.

Only time will tell! Make the hardware fantastic and create software updates to personalize. Make the ensemble strings available as a download but don't include in the base unit to keep the cost down. Now I am dreaming.

Not really a drop... more like a local dealer giving a bit of rebate because of the upcomming new model... its not huge..

The advert confirms that the T5 is on its way out, however, there is still no indication as to whether it will be replaced, or something completely new and innovative is about to be introduced.

At a half price discount it would probably be too much to pay at this point for a T5......
especially when certainly new KB Gear is on the horizon of some kind...maybe Yamaha shot themselves in the foot this time around waiting this long to release something?

thoughts?

I had the Tyros 5. Sent it back and kept my Tyros 4. Just not that much difference for the money. I now own 2 Ketron SD7s and a Tyros4 but will take a serious look at whatever replaces the Tyros 5 when it arrives. All said, the SD7 is my go-to rig now.

If the Tyros 4 or 5 had had a built-in sequencer fully fledged and on-board editing tools for sound, I would've bought one by now . I expect the genos to be similarly limited unfortunately .
