Donny, as I mentioned here before, when I auditioned the PAS with my Tyros, I made certain I went out in stereo (2 separate KB LINE OUTS) to channels 1 & 2 IN's on the PAS. Even so, when playing the Yamaha 'stereo sampled' GRAND PIANO voice, it sounded horribly thin & brittle (due to efx phase cancellation) no matter which PAS preset I selected. In addition, everyone else in the room (including pro musicians) auditioning with me reached the same conclusion, assuming it was the classic effect of stereo phase cancellation.
Donny, if the Yamaha Tyros/PSR3000 stereo sampled "GRAND PIANO" really sounds as good as you claim on the PAS now, then there definitely has got to have been a major Bose PAS 'OS upgrade' instituted between the time I auditioned the unit 1-1/2 years ago (which I assume included the original OS) and yours (of which amazingly doesn't even include the latest OS upgrade preset #57 which José recommends).
José, many thanks
for posting both the PAS & Tyros settings you used to achieve optimal results.
Ok guys, I'm anxious to go back and give the Bose PAS yet another audition now. Unfortunately, even if I'm impressed this time, I probably have to wait awhile b4 buying it, as $2,000.00 is a bit beyond my current equipment budget.
