Disagree Donny!!!
I do not play out anymore but no matter what "Kind of" music you play the Drums/Bass (and overall sound) on the Tyros are not "Live"!! The Tyros is a very fine OMB KB ... for some? And who am I to say different! But what kind of music you play does not change the equation ... The KB does NOT sound "LIVE!! It sounds like a CD!! Period! For some that is OK ... For others NOT!! The type of music you play does not matter. There is no right or wrong in this oppinion ... it is just that ... "an oppinion'!!
Some like a Toyota and some a VW!! Whatever!!!!!!

Jc as you say it sounds compressed like a CD....& isn't that exactly what all these DJ's who actually perform far more then most live OMB acts use ?....& aren't the people happy at all these DJ weddings & affairs because of the CD music?....so in essence the audiences aren't to concerned with the CD sound vs what you call live...& believe me I know what live is I've been in a 7pc live band 25 years ...& solo 17 years and have played almost everything out there on stage many many gigs with Yamahas KBs thru the years also & never once has anyone ever said "hey those drums sound like a CD" .....
you play, they enjoy, you get paid...
it's simple. IMO too much is put on the sound vs the talent.

kind regards

Agreed Donny ... The "Talent" Always Rules!!!!
But I think you would agree when someone "Hires" LIVE entertainment they expect something diffenet than a DJ!!
Just like when you go to Pizza Hut (hope you never do!! I know I don't! My Mom would role over in her garve!!!) You get what you get!!! My point .... We are talking about what "We" hear as musiciains not the audience!! I am totaly with you ... You could probably play "Any Arranger KB" on the planet, and if you are "Entertaining" No One Would Care what your playing!!

Just a side note ... It could even be (God Forbid) MIDI FILES!!!!!!!!

Jc, I'll agree with you on the live aspect when someone hires a band & there are different musicians & probably no need for an arranger KB ....the overall sound would definitly be different & not necessarily better depending on the musicians.. then just a OMB KB power solo act of any kind....


As a side note...secondly why the resentment of playing on top of SMF?

PS... Pizza Hut is NOT pizza YUK

I know i'm going get egged for this,however the T3 is simply a flop that for some mysterious reason some have readily dished out thousands for..so whats next outta ya Yam a T3.001 with an extra slider for 4000$?

Nothing "mysterious" about why people have bought Tyros3...it is a great arranger, and for a "flop" it is selling remarkably well and getting wonderful reviews.

Have you actually tried it?

Ian

May I ask why you prefer a psr9000 vs any of the newer Yamaha models available ?

Perhaps he is content with his present arranger?

It's been known to happen.

Hello! On Monday I will return the T3 I`we
tried out for a few days. Not that it is a bad KB.. its very good ,even better than my T2..a little..The sound that I work whith are allmost the same. Would like to have them in a box,to use whith my PA2X...that would be the perfect kombination. PA2X arranger,and T3 right hand sound. I hope the Audya will arive soon,I`ll try that on, We`ll see. Tryggve

Probably actually playing their Tyros' in their free time rather then living on the computer.. I am constantly amazed by it and it has inspired me to build a new DAW and upgrade to Sonar 8P from 4P. I have nothing negative to say about the board. I have no intention of selling it as I did the PA2x after 16 weeks.

It does all I need it to do and no feature goes unused (except the Harmonizer) The TC-M is far better than any keyboard harmonizer.
