It has finally arrived !!

Today I picked up my new Tyros 2 and what can I say... 6 hours later and I am still completely blown away.

I'll start by saying, the yamaha MS02 speakers are extremely weak and have no mid range at all. my $120.00 logitec 5.1 setup absolutely puts them to shame. So the yammy speakers went straight back into the box

Comming from the PSR 3000, the styles are now sooo much better, being tweaked with new sounds and intros etc. The multi pads are awesome and very usable!! It is such a huge leap from the PSR 3000.

I havent had a chance to get stuck into the HD recorder yet or even the pattern sequencer for that matter. I had the PSR tweaked so good, and just straight out of the box, the T2 absolutely puts it to shame in sound quality.

I will be posting some demos very soon

Cheers

Nick

Congratulations, Nick.

I feel the same way, as I had a 3k before my Tyros2.

You're in for lots of fun.

Awesome Nick,

Glad to hear that your liking the T2.
I guess I am going to need to listen to my T2 through some different speakers to get an idea of what you all are talking about regarding the sound quality.

Congrats,

Regards,

The tyros 2 crushes the psr3000...and everything else on the market...that was my conclusion after having tried the g70 pa1x and psr3000

I thought the G70 would crush the T2 especially if you dropped it on top, what with it's weight lol Please note that this is meant as a joke for those that find everything too serious on SZ.

Congrats Nick!!!

I'm still lovin my tyros2 after 8 months. The guitars and saxes still amaze me. I had a psr3000 prior, there is no comparison. I too bought the tyros2 speakers with the keyboard. I hooked them up once!! They have been back in the box since december!! If I ever take it out of the house I might need them..............
Enjoy your new board. And don't plan on getting as much sleep as you were used too!!! -charley

at the moment, no questions really.

Just been spending alot of time exploring sounds and styles. i have been through most of the functions and menu options.

One thing i thought that was possible was to be able to change the wallpaper through the OS, instead it only lets u change the main screen's wallpaper.. Am I correct or missing something?

Comming from the PSR, the OS is pretty much straight forward and laid out the same way. the screen is sooooo much better!!

can people please give me some examples of good EQ settings to really bring the board alive?? at the moment i have only modified EQ 4 and EQ 5 when u select "EDIT" on the EQ page.

EQ 4 = "2DB" and EQ 5 = "6db".

i still think its not 100% right.. but what can people suggest for me?

Thanks,

Nick

You can load your own pictures into the T2 but they actually show behind the main one you've chosen to display things like style, multipad, registration name, upper 1,2,3 etc
