The tyros 3 was never one of Yamahas best instruments, (Apart from the SA2 voices its quality of sound left a lot to be desired compared to the Tyros 2) so it�s hardly surprising that the KN7000 sounds good in comparison, however in spite of this the quality of the sound of the KN7000 is still pretty good in comparison to most modern boards.

If however you compare it to a Tyros 2 or 4 then the difference does stand out, with the KN7000 showing its age. (The exception is the drums which leave the Tyros 2 drums for dead)

OT: Thanks for posting the links, as both performances were nice to listen too. (Rather than analyse)
