I just got an email confirming the Tyros4 selling more than Tyros, Tyros2, Tyros3 combined.

I feel the Tyros4 was what Tyros3 should have been. I passed on the Tyros3, although I have a friend who lives on the mainland that has the Tyros3 and loves it. I found the Tyros4 to have the edge as far as a "sweetness" (it's the only word that fits) in the sound, which I could not get on the Tyros3 no matter how it was EQ'd. Actually, the Tyros2 had much of that "sweetness", but for some reason it didn't make it to T3, although the latter still allegedly outsold it.

Some claim the Technics KN-7000 was the best arranger ever made, and who are we to refute those assertions? I never played a KN-7000, but I did play a KN-6000 and it was pretty nice, especially the styles, so I imagine the former was a real treat.

PSR Tutorial has quite a few Technics styles converted to work on Yamaha instruments. http://psrtutorial.com/sty/keyboards/technics.html

I'm curious to learn how the 76-note Tyros5 will fare in sales to the 61-note version.
