I'm sorry to report that I still feel this way after many attempts to test out my theory on playing the Tyros in Stereo (2 speakers) vs Mono (1 speaker)....there is a huge loss in sound reproduction....its simply not the same to my ears on stage....use two speakers, put on headphones its awesome//////the T2 stereo sample sounds are just that and made to be played in Stereo.....sorry for my morning rant this is a pet peeve of mine

Yep, I believe I was the first one to report this phenonemen here over 3-1/2 years ago :

Scott I have to agree 100% with you....
& its not only with the Live Stereo Grand Piano, Electric Pianos, etc etc but with many other sounds & in some cases Styles also regarding the way they are made & panned.

Dnj,
I totally understand where you're coming from. It's not just the T2. Synths and arrangers have so many "stereo samples' now. It's not like the old days of "mono" sounds. Even with my synths when I go through a mono set up (even just using acoustic sounds) WOW!--what a loss in sound quality....

I think that's also why there are so many complaints when keyboardists are playing with a group, and they use a single speaker amp. The sound just doesn't "cut" through the way it used to. That nice stereo grand preset is shattered through the mono system. (plus these stereo samples are big poly eaters as well--which is why the poly is up to 128 on the big dogs now

If you insist on fooling around with mono all the time I suggust ducktape... just tear off a piece and place it over one ear......pose

Stereo "OPTICAL KIND"

Im glad I have two different Stereo setups

[2] Powered Mackie 450's for big gigs

[2] Bose 161's w/T2 Sub] for the smaller gigs


If I don't keep playing in Stereo I'll end up selling the T2 out of depression in sound quality ;( So from now on its Stereo all the way

Squeak.....I totally agree with your assessments!

Pose......do they make different color duck tape to match the T2?

Scott, did you get to try the T2 with Bose PAS yet?
I am very happy with the sound, and so are my customers.
