Hey Nick! Congratulations and welcome to the Tyros2 owners club.

Nick, not sure what Tyros2 purchase package you've worked out with your dealer, but Tyros2 typically doesn't INCLUDE Yamaha TRS-MS02 sub + sattellite speaker system. If yours includes the TRS-MS02's, I HIGHLY recommend upgrading the satellites with a pair of Bose 161's. Though I know there are people here who like the Logitech Z2300's, I feel it (and other Logitech sub+sattelite type speaker systems designed for PC music) lack mid range presence, so important in keyboard playing, especially piano & vocals too. Please read this thread for more details on my Bose 161 setup and why I recommend it so highly. In the meantime, I'll send you pics via email.

Nick, the Cakewalk Instrument Definition File is actually an INS file. Download directly HERE .

Congratulations. I played the psr3000 and felt the tyros 1 was lightyears better...and ur getting tyros2...u r gonna be blown away by its abilities... A word of advice..u will be very excited when it arrives...open the box carefully...spend a few minutes admiring it in the bow...then go have dinner...come back and slowly lift it out of the box and u can carry on from there.

Nick !!!
Congratulations !!

In my opinion the Tyros 2 is a very good keyboard that will give you untold hours of pleasure. I come from a piano background as well, and really enjoy all the potential that the Tyros 2 gives a musician. I bought the Tyros 2 mainly for the S.A. Concert guitar (upgraded from the 9000). I think that Tyros 2 provides the opportunity for great expession on the part of the musician playing it. I really enjoy it. I find that I really enjoy all of the SA guitars. If you ever have questions regarding the SA guitars or want some insight from someone else, let me know. I am a big fan indeed.

Best regards to you,

Nick,

I wanted to tell you that I have had very good success with the Yamaha TRS-MS02 sub + sattellite speaker system. I really like how they look on the Tyros 2 and their ability to spin. If you are able to get a good price, I recommend that you get them.

I'm sorry...why would you think that I have a PA1X ?
I certainly don't have anything whatsoever against owning a PA1X.
I am just unsure as to how you ever thought that I owned one.

In answer to your question, I do not own both.


Regards,
Dennis

Awesome Nick,

I envy you. I'm all alone this week, wife's away and I have NO keyboard. I want to wait for the next generation Rolands. Enjoy your time together as I look forward to hearing your songs.

Thanks for all the replies people!

The package I have purchase does include the sattelite speakers and the sub woofer. I will see how it handles, they think about upgrading the speakers to Logitech or Bose as Scott has mentioned.

only two days to go!!

I sense ALOT of sleepless nights ahead

How is the love affair going with your new Tyros 2?

I hope it is going well for you.
And I hope you are enjoying your time on the T2

When you get the opportunity, I look forward to your comments and music samples on the Tyros 2.
