Since there are 400 vs 300 you got at least 100 new styles, plus some have been rerecorded like you heard in the demos.

Well, it's a bit disappointing. While there are 100 more styles than on the original Tyros, almost all of these styles have been available for a long time. They were released on the Tyros Premium disk last year. And the PSR3000 has most of them. I haven't done an actual count, but I think the actual number of new styles is about 20-25. You can find the style list at SVPWorld, here:

Now, I have heard that Yamaha has revoiced many (all?) of the old styles to take advantage of the much larger number of Megavoices in the T2. And, the OTS settings have been redone to include the Super Articulation voices.

So, the sly thing on Yamaha's part is that if you have an older Yamaha keyboard, the new T2 will play. However, they will be missing all the new voices. If you change them to your available voices, they will sound like the old Tyros voices. Only the owners of the new Tyros2 will hear the styles properly.

Hey Tom,

that's the great thing about scipping a generation or two.
Since I didn't own a PSR-3000 nor a Tyros1, there will be a whole lot of new styles for me to play around with. (9000Pro to T2)

Tom,
I hear what your saying.... I hope this isnt a repackage job...with a few fancy rehashed styles? If I was gonna get one which Im not, I'd REALLY check this baby out...especially if you have a T1 & make sure its worth it to you to upgrade.

Good Luck
