We've exhausted everything that out....nothing really new, innovative & exciting.....but what do you think is coming in regards to ARRANGER KEYBOARDS....

All eyes are on the new Ketron AUDYA......but what about WHAT WE DONT KNOW?

Expect some more big updates from Wersi
Lionstracs will probably be pushing something
Roland have just released a complete new range of organs so I would guess there is a good chance that their arranger keyboards are next
The Korg PA 800 was just the start of the upgrades to the Korg line, so look out for them too
As far as Yamaha goes there may be prototypes of the replacement Tyros 2 (Although my guess is that it will not appear until Frankfurt)
According to reports there are a lot of new instruments being shown at the Pakefield Keyboard Festival, and so this should give a good indication of what’s coming up at NAMM
The future certainly looks exciting

Ive heard about a new ROLAND Arranger next year....?
Drooping arranger sales all around should make way for new ideas 7 designs soon.

Tyros 3 will be announced very soon it will have features never before seen on a keyboard

Tyros 3 will be 61 keys once again. Expect 1gig of sounds, 500 brand new styles, cd writer, all new dsp effects, totally new vocal harmonise, improved sounds...bigger..better..meaner..faster..able to leap tall buildings in a single bound..more powerful than a speeding locomotive.. U get d idea..

PA2x, G80

The Tyros series is done my friend IMO....sorry.....
but Yamaha will continue its journey somehow to be in the mix for sure, what you ask? who knows? stay tuned.

Actually,the Tyros DOES live on-they're just calling it the Motif XS now.

And it's a helluva lot less expensive too!

.........that was a good one

Hey Donny: didn't know you have a secret connection with someone high up at Yamaha Japan. They have the distinct reputation of keeping their LIPS SEALED about these kind of things all the way up to near the actual release date. In fact, even the folks at Yamaha USA, Yamaha UK, and Yamaha Europe aren't given the answer till close to then either. Ok Donny, who you been sleeping with? just kidding
