Hi Gang:
I got my new ty2 yesterday late afternoon and have a problem. I got plenty of volume on demo's, and styls/accomp but all voices are low even maxed on the vol controls. I tried uping the vol on master eq and save to user 1 still not a lot of vol. Tried to initiate by holding down demo and turning on, Dos'nt seem to work, can't find any info in the manual that refers to this or my problem. I don't have the trs-ms02, just running from the main outs to the z5500. Is there some settings that takes part of the output and sends to the jacks for the Trs-ms02 or something that might be causing this,? any ideas of what I'm doing wrong would be fully appreciated! The whole right side of the keyboard is weak, and voices don't sound full, especially the artiks and mega's the sweet and live sound pretty good but very weak in vol. again any help would be appreciated...........Pose

Do the test again with headphones into the T2. At least this will be check if the problem is with the T2 or not. It's most likely your Z5500

If this is so, isn't this the second problem we've heard of with the Z55 in the past couple of weeks?
Does anyone know if the other kb volume problem was resolved?

t.

Yes he did get that fixed.

Sorry I did'nt give enough information:

Prob 1 can't initialize (Hold down Demo/Start) nothing happens

prob 2 low vol on R 1 2 3

Play a demo (Loud and clear blow you out of the room.)
styles/accmp (loud and clear)
L voices (loud and clear)

R 1 2 3 cranked to 127, main eq cranked very high and still they sound like a setting of 65 would.

Sounds the same thru headphones also.

Been browsing the manual hav'nt found anything, but suspecting somewhere there is a setting involving the trs-ms02's speakers, and since I don't have them it may be the problem.

Anyone that has a t2 hooked up to trs speakers and is also using mains out to another amp/amps would appreciate you unplugging the trs and see what effect it has???

ps just ordered a trs speaker system from Yamaha

Hi there. Cancel the system from Yamaha if it's not too late, the quality is very poor and really not worth it. You are better off sticking with the Logitech's once you get them working. My speakers have just been returned to the shop for a refund

Initialize system setup is:

Hold down rightmost white key while turning on power.

TRS-MS02's are sufficient for general monitoring and doodling, but you wont realise the true potential of sound from the T2 using them. I plugged my T2 into the hifi system, a Kenwood AV8500 and Mission 751's, absolutely incredible! For the studio though I resorted to using the TRS-MS02's but instead of connecting the satellites to the tyros, I connect a pair of bookshelf monitors. Sounds a lot better. The TRS-MS02's lack presence and warmth, mainly because the mid range drivers are just too small and the low mid/bass only comes from one driver (and thats on the floor!).

Found the problem:

Apparently the only way to initialize this puppy is to hold down the demo AND the last white note while starting up.

Results--it initialized and brought the vol up and the sound is much much improved. I think maybe with some tweaking I can now get the voices to sound something like the demo and hopefully Simons Stereo.

One of the reasons for buying the the Yam speakers is I like monitor/s in my face it lets me hear what I'm doing much better, and don't like ear monitors. But I know they're not getting a good rating, so torn between giving them a try, or taking the Z5500 system and custom build the 5 speakers to mount on the hardware bracket that I built for mike stand, laptop stand, mouse pad arm. This bracket lays between the keyboard and the L7 stand. and thought about mounting in front of the keyboard 4 speakers 2x to each side facing forward and the center speaker being a monitor facing me.

I still have a second z5500 system with Gary's (Travl'n Easy) setup with the stands etc. for playing outside the studio when needed.

To each and everyone who responded, I thank you very very much.(Whether the suggestions are the correct answers or not It makes a person think and between all of us we got it) I'll sleep tonight...

(be dream'n of being a big tyros 2 rock star..with young ladies hang'n all over me)

Here's another reason why I hang around this forum. I, too, noticed weak right-hand sounds (saxes, etc) and didn't have a clue why. Now I know and was able to fix it. Thanks, DerfM

Allrrright DerfM:

Do you have a ty2 also?.....pose

Pose. . .

Sure am. I bought the T2 to replace my PSR2100. Having fun trying to get the best out of this new machine. DerfM

DerfM:

Did you receive yours with the main eq set to flat? Have you set up a user 1 or 2 main eq yet? If so I'm wondering what you and others ended up with?

I'm still fooling with mine, I hav'nt found a setting that works for everything, and I'm sure hoping I don't have to change each voice around to get them sounding right.

I spent 3 years tweaking my old 9000 to get all the voices sounding the best they could, so far the 9000 sounds better than the ty2 for instance the grand on the 9k sounds close to the grand demo on the tyros, but the actual grand on MY tyros dos'nt sound all that great. I know its gotta be settings, but it should come from the factory with everyting set!

How does yours sound from the box?

pose

POSE. . .
My T2 did come with flat eq and sounded that
way. Right now I've got it at 0.7 80 and
3-3-4-4-9. I think it sounds like it has more punch or livlier. . .to my ear anyway. I'd also like to know what others are doing. Another thing. . .some of the SA voices when played don't sound like the demo sound (warmsolid guitar, for example).
Maybe it's me. Cheers, DerfM

I suspect the global EQ in the T2 is similar to that in the PSR-3000. The best settings for the keyboard I have found while using the Z-5500 system are 5, 3, 2, 6, 10. This provides lots of gut thumping bass, great mids for piano sounds and vocals, and lots of high end sizzle for guitars and cymbals.

Good Luck,

Gary

Derf and Gary:

Thanks for your settings, I'll give them a try sometime today. But got to do some rehearsing and try and get some songs out of the ty2's music finder, gotta play tonight and the ty2's all I got to do it with, so with only about 6 hours of hands on, its gonna hafta do......Pose

Managed to give both settings a try.. Both sounded a lot better, than what I had quickly stuck in there.

Derf Your grand sound sounded a wee better than Gary's but Gary's overall was the best for the guitars, and still had a good Grand, my vocals were just a bit treblie, don't have time to fool around with the vocal eq right now, took the last setting of 10 on yours Gary and lowered it to 8 got the old whiskey throat back, everything sounds much better. out front the sound is good, gotta get a monitor going for me at the board, next project...

Thanks very much guys, I'm really starting to love this tyros2, Its still going to take a lot of tinkering to get it as polished as the 9000 was...but the outcome should be fabulous.....pose
