Right now it is just gossip. However, several months ago yamaha representitives asked me if a product like a DGX keyboard with specs from the PSR1500 with 76 keys and a PSR3000 with 88 keys would be a new good selling product and of course I said yes.
At the January NAMM show we will only see two new low priced 61 keyboards which will replace the PSR273 models. These will include better sounds and improved cosmetics. These will be the only two new portable keyboard series products shown at this time. I've already received all the new product information, prices and specs from yamaha last week.
New products also include a motif ES rack. There will also be a new portable sound system which will include a 6 channel powered mixer which is housed in the back of one of the two non powered speakers. The speakers look like the MSR100 cabinet. The system can be packed up in one optional roll around case and will sell in the $600 - $700 price ranger.
Yamaha is also releasing a new 5 piece electronic drum set with foot pedal for a MAP price of $849.00
For those wishing to see what the replacement for the current Tyros will be like, I have heard we will have to wait for the Summer NAMM show in June or July.
