19) Tyros supports keyboard after touch, the PSR2000 does NOT.

just adding to the list. - Scott

Scott..
"15) The Tyros loads & plays PSR2000 format Styles w/OTS, as well as
well as loads PSR2000 Music Finder files (abeit minor tweaking)"

Your #15 suggests that registrations created on the PSR2000 will read correctly on the Tyros. According to the specs I read, only registrations from the 8000 and 9000 will read correctly on the Tyros. Or did I misunderstand you?
Eddie

Eddie: I didn't think I suggested in any way that PSR2000 'registrations' are recognized by the Tyros. In fact, I don't know the answer to that.

I am able to confirm that the Tyros can load PSR2000 MusicFinder files, but only after making a small change to the file's header title: from PSR2000 to Tyros. I sent my PSR2000 MusicFinder Files to a friend (overseas) who already owns a Tyros and he toldl me that he was able to successfully load it into his Tyros (abeit a few style match inconsistancies). I hope to receive more details on this from him soon.

In the meantime, I will send a couple PSR2000 registrations & PSR2000 styles to my friend overseas and see if he might attempt to load them in his Tyros so we can get some definitive answers.

Hi Scott
The PSR2000 DOES have this feature. You can only turn it off or on, no "fine tuning" or tweaking of it like on Roland's arrangers. And the way Yamaha has set it up, the effect is subtle. But it's there and it works, and it makes for more variation to the canned sound of the styles. I use a volume pedal to vary the accomp/style parts for an even better result.

Hi Tom: You're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing this out I guess I never realized the PSR2000 included this feature because I had associated with the name 'Dynamic Arranger'. Anyway, I finally found what you are talking about. It's located in the "Style Settings" window under a thing called:'ACMP Touch' and like you said it's just got a simple on/off switch.

I'm wondering now if the Tyros' (or even the PSR9000/9000pro) 'ACMP Touch' might include MORE enhancements than on the PSR2000. Hopefully 9000pro or Tyros owners will check their keyboards and report back.

It is not possible to use the megavoices in
a userstyle that you have allready.For me
that is a negative point.
The Tyros sounds very good in the preset-
styles but not better than the Roland VA7/76.
The VA has guitar sounds with all these extra
effects, at least you can add them to the
sound if you want.
New styles for the Tyros you can get in the
future from professional stylemakers because
they will have the right computerprograms.
The Tyros is a very good instrument but is
has a few limits.

Deb,
"The Tyros is a very good instrument but is

I don't know of any piece of gear that doesn't have limits.

Hey Terry,
I went to my local GC this afternoon and asked if (and when) they were getting in a new Tyros to demo.

"Tire-ass, what's that ?" was the response I got... LOL. Shows how much those guys keep on top of stuff. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go further afield to find one.

Regards,
Steve

Steve,
LOL.....Sounds like Tehjas as I remember it.

I hammered GC up here for quite awhile and the final I got is they were not even going to look into carrying them until November,so said the corporate offices.

HI: Scott & everyone
With the 9000 PRO you can assign different things
to the volume pedal, such as, acmp., left voice,
multi pads, Rt1, Rt2, Rt3 voices.
I don't know about aftertouch as far as controlling
volume or what ever didn't check on that.
