good for "i've had the time of my life"

about that Disco style,
pretty good BUT

man, don't mean to talk bad about Yamaha, BUT i must say what i feel after hearing that

those drums are REALLY bad,
no dynamics whatsoever,
sounds robotic,
sounds way sequenced
quantized 16th notes,
thin,
no realism

sorry, just my opinion,

you have yours... :-)

Thanks for posting these, Donny...I hadn't been on YPKO for a while, so I wasn't aware they were available.

I like them both, although I think I'd get more use out of the Disco style.

I'll pass the good news on to my clients.

Ian....yes I agree, these are super styles..very realistic to the genre depicted. Yamaha's next offerings in motl/totl arrangers will be AWESOME!
Can't wait!

I'm very content with the present offerings, Donny...I'm doing a lot of recording (making Cds) and the polished quality of the S910, in my case, is perfect for the job.

Rumors are, something new is coming in October 2010...

Jeez, Lee, give it a rest! You can say the EXACT same thing about every arranger manufacturer out there...

Unless Korg get more than two fills for a four variation arranger (OK, two fills and a break/fill, for the picky! ) "they will never be AWESOME in the arranger world, just average, IMO"

Unless Ketron fix their reliability problems, software glitches and improve their customer/dealer relations "they will never be AWESOME in the arranger world, just average, IMO"

Unless Wersi get back into business properly "they will never be AWESOME in the arranger world, just average, IMO"

Unless Roland return to MOTL and TOTL arranger production, rather than just BOTL ones, "they will never be AWESOME in the arranger world, just average, IMO"

Until Lionstracs integrate style player with soundset and get TOTL styles, "they will never be AWESOME in the arranger world, just average, IMO"

Did I miss anyone?

You may not like Yamaha's drum sound, but at least they don't crash...

I respect your opinion, Lee, and I'm sure there are a few others that might agree with you...however, sales of the Tyros3/S910, and comments at my clinics from both new users, and potential buyers, indicate there are a lot that don't jibe with you.

Weren't you going to buy an Audya? What happened...still too much money for what it does? Still waiting for it to be finished?

Personally, I am glad I am very satisfied with the Yamaha drums, and, I'm also very content that the instruments have been working reliably and functioning as advertised...that means a lot to both pros and home users.

One can only hope the Audya, when you do buy it (that's if you do), will perform to the same high standards of dependability and practicality as the Yamaha.

I'll be looking forward to your review.
