Hi,
Well, actually I am wondering how those upgrades, regarding of polyphony, shall make ?
ie. are those sound generators connected paraller with each others, or how. Can you
buy such sound generator chips from somewhere
and can I use other brand as genuine, etc...
it would be nice to get more infos and shematics regarding of arranger keyboards.

The arranger market has to wise up regarding Polyphony. In my experience with a 64 note arranger I have found 64 note polyphony just doesn't cut the mustard. In complicated musical arrangements I've noticed dropouts which can be a pain, even embarrassing during a live performance. You have to be extra careful (do a few practice runs) before hand to make sure the limit is not reached in an arrangement you want to play. With the new Tyros 128 notes is an improvement BUT I've heard people with the 9000 PRO which has 126 notes complain of dropouts on it. The nice thing about the PRO is you can add more polyphony with an expansion board "up to 256 notes" I think. That is not possible with the Tyros from what I've heard and read. We shall see how the Tyros fairs in that regard soon. With a totally new operating system and a high speed 'risc' processor and how they manage how the polyphony and other components are routed they may have eliminated much of the problem. Hopefully that will be the case.
