You are wrong about the Live Drum Kits rolandfan. There are "13" Live Drum Kits in the original Tyros whilst only "9" in the Tyros2.
You gotta love those S Art. voices though.
But I've noticed some of them don't have that vast sound improvement over the Tyros' standard Sweet! Live! and Cool! voices. But Yamaha is making a step in the right direction and I imagine they will improve the technology more and more as technology advances. By the time Tyros3 comes out with 76 keys (I hope
), 200 Super Articulation Voices, 300 Sweet!, Live!, Cool! and Natural! Voices, an improved Acoustic Grand Piano sound[s], some killer B3 emulations, USB 2.0/Firewire capability, Digital I/O's, 16 Track realtime 'Audio' Recording, A "REAL" Sampler, an "improved" Vocal Harmonizer, weighing under 32 lbs., and all for the price of the 'original' Tyros or LESS, then we will talk turkey.
And until they offer a 76 key version I will absolutely and unequivocally pass on getting one until they do (if they ever do). I will bide my time and stick with my Tyros and continue to wait that Yammie will eventually offer a 76 key high end 'something' (whether it be a T3 or Pluto XRT or whatever). If Yammie doesn't I'm pretty certain one or both of the other Big 3 will. Even GEM or Ketron may surprise us. Now if GEM, Ketron (and Korg) only offered something beyond the dated 64 note Polyphony issue. Then they will start to open some eyes of serious musicians. You just gotta have more than 64 note Polyphony when using a full blown Arranger keyboard. A Workstation you may be able to 'squeak' by, but not a high end Arranger with all its multifaceted arranger functions. I'm sorry but that's just the way I see it.
Best regards,
Mike
