I am tempted to buy a Tyros 2 (p/x for my G70) - because of the the registick plus / and total transformation theatre regs that are available

(But don't want to spend a fortune as will probably end up buying a Tyros 3 eventually)

I have approched one popular northern UK dealer who has quoted £1099 for a used Tyros 2 which seems OTT i was thinking more around the £400 mark for a p/x to a used Tyros 2 - any UK dealers who can do this let me know please

If not ... i'll hold on to G70 (which is in excellent condition HUO) as otherwise it is an excellent keyboard (just lacks the organ setups provided by the Tyros add ons)

PS: Does the Tyros allow you to store regs on USB external storage devices (the G70 has 50MB of flash space which has been more than enough)

Thanks

T2 has a Hd /2 USB ports so you can store more registrations then you and your whole town would ever use.

You seem to be into Organ....& you would lose the G70 drawbars in a Trade like this & have to use the virtual ones are you comfortable with that.

Hi DNJ - 5 minutes after posting - a reply - that's fassst ...

To be honest there are several things i don't use - including drawbars - prefer the preset (stock) drawbar type organs - which are great

(Don't use harmonizer)

RE: External storage - good that can use USB storage (to be honest i don't see much point in hard drives as USB is faster quiter and proably more reliable - no moving parts) - PS: good to see the latest organs AT800/Apollo/Stagea etc.. have eventually got past the floppy disk drives as the only storage media (the organ world is catching up with the keyboards atlast)

You might want to take a look at these

I have been looking over the organs - Yama stageas / D Decks - the mini stage a is CHEAAAPP (amazingly so) but doesn't (i don't think) excel in theatre organ samples (i'm hard to please!)

The only organs that have theatre / auto styles and USB storage as well as far i can work out (from googling) is the latest ateliers AT800 etc £10K ?), the Wersi Apollo with theatre/sacral voice packs (£6000?) But i'm a miser when it comes to parting with cash - anything over a few K and i would want a lifetime warranty!

Tony you cant take it with you .....

PS the video is great (although i wish they would ercord directly from the organ)

I also play pop music to me an organ should be able to do all these things "at the touch of a button" - the stageas i think are good for rock music / contemporary but i woould need to buy a sound expander to play pipe organs

The latest Rolands and maybe Apollos are getting close to being this versatile ...

True DNJ - but when it comes to parting with hard earned cash my alter ego kicks in - and i think about my pension twenty years down the road

Also practically speaking if i live that long i will probably get bored with whatever i buy so would rather keep reserve for the next models in the years to come ...

Having said that i might follow your way of thinking and blow it all for the short term fun and games ...

Twenty years down the road......?

I'd rather live for the moment its more fun & exciting.....look at pictures of yourself twenty years ago & you will see how fast life goes by..........

come to mind every time I perform it on stage.

Yes true - the last twenty years have gone all too quickly!

Have got better deal £600 for p/x - it pays to shop around , will see if i can squeeze further but it looks like a Tyros 2 is on the cards (if i can get it under warranty)
