I believe the correct number of sliders is 9....that would correspond to drawbars on a Hammond.

Thanks for the link, Tommy.

If this is legit, it's a lot like we expected.

That looks absolutely awesome! Wow.

How do those sliders work when you choose a new organ voice that has a different setting? Do the sliders move by themselves?

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for posting the pic. Glad Yamaha decided to eliminate T2's painfully sharp as a lethal weapon jagged angles on T3. Other than that, T3 doesn't cosmetically look much different than T2.

The one new physical T3 feature I noticed and appreciate right off are its "physical sliders" which will make for much more convenient live real time performance control of style/panel part volume balances, etc. I'm most anxious to learn what the 'new' Concert Piano sounds like.

It's certainly fun on this forum to speculate and get excited about new keyboard offerings, but in the meantime, I remain quite content with Tyros2 as it continues to deliver the goods for me for me professionally as a keyboard-vocal entertainer.

One important requirement (at least for me me because I've spend months customizing my Tyros2 repetoire setup) is that Tyros3 support direct compatibility of Tyros2 'styles (.sty)', 'registrations'(.reg), and custom voices (TVN).

Does anyone know how Super Articulation2 differs from the original SA? It's not just more realistic humanoid grunting noises from the saxes, trumpets etc, is it?

Yamaha don't seem very confident with it if they're only offering 5x SA2 voices.

Looks Great!
Sliders---YES!
Sure hope those sliders work ( at least as a menu option) in PICKUP MODE not just JUMP MODE!

Or else big trouble!

Personally I think Yamaha is smart enough to take care of that???

I was hoping for a larger screen? Maybe it is bigger... can't tell by the photo.

It looks like that one that was photoshoped... Anyway its cool and got super features!
Im waiting for demos.

It just looks like a minor upgrade, and they forgot to glue on those 15 extra keys that a professionall music workstation really needs...

Also it still does not have any knobs..

It will sound good, as the T2 allready sounded good, but where is the next generation in arranger design...

Where is the integrated Vst host?
Where is the double MP3/wav/midi player?
Where are is the next generation accompaniment like Ketron and Q-ranger are showing us..
Where is the integrated arpegiator?


I just don't see any reason to upgrade either a t1 or t2 to this T3, hell i think the PSR 9000 pro is still the best Yamaha keyboard till date...

But then i'd love to get this as a gift...and it looks sweet, so maybe when it sounds better then the new Motif synths thne it will be worth its dollars..

Right on!!

No improvement to the Music Finder?
