make it seem like an instrument for old farts (there: I said it!)
To clarify further my thoughts, I think that Yamaha should pay big money guys like Tostie, because at least he shows that the Tyros can play also contemporary music! [/quote]


Tyros 5 is a great instrument created for the 50+ men in europe which need a hobby, love music and are non technical.. Its a boystoy for grown up men.

They play a little on it, but most importantly they are collectors of new sounds and new styles, and this is where Yamaha excells..


Korg PA3x is a different story they aim at the more professional musicians that love to tweak and tune whats in their box.. this must be more inspriring to Rudess..

However with Oasys and Kronos having Karma onboard, there currently is no reason why Rudess would need an arranger. No they are not arrangers, but they inspire creativity ... and thats the only reason why he would ever touch an arranger.. just to test some new mellodies with a flexible background accomp that follows his chords.
