Check out these links to the Martin Harris Demo at Naam. If you ever wanted to own or now do own a Tyros 3 you have to see this. By the way Scott Yee sent these to me.

Martin swears this is right out of the box sounds - EQ flat and Comp turned off, mixer also flat for the in house sound system.

Hammer,
Thanks for the links.

1) No doubt Yamaha (Martin, seems to been heavily involved)has done a great job with this instrument

2) Martin know it well and demo's it well

3) Martin is a very good musician in his own right

4) I bet a lot of folks in the audience..went home and bought one!

Good demos are supposed to make pople search their pockets for money.

I know I did while watching this.

On the other hand I only now understand what people are talking about when they say "sounds compressed" "lifeless drums" and so on.

My goodness the Clarinet sounds amazing on that thing!

Sure it sounds compressed! It's freaking U-tube! I never hear anything all that good there, maybe it's my settings? And in this case the recording was not PRO quality...I think it might have been from the video camera. I hear lots of distortion too.

I will make my mind up on the sound quality when I hear one hooked to a quality sound system (like nearfield Mackie monitors)

I know when I auditioned the Kurzweil PC3 at Sweetwater Sound, they had a poor speaker (not even stereo) hooked up, then I tried headphones...not much better.
I brought it home, hooked up my Mackies and POW! Outstanding sound. Knocked my socks off.

Guys,
The Utube recordings were done by someone in attendance at the convention with a video camera. Also, I guarantee you that my Tyros 3 played through my Bose system is without a doubt one of the finest sounding arrangers I have ever heard - including the Audya I heard at the Shreveport Jam.

there's no doubt that the T3 is one of the best sounding arrangers currently available. Martin Harris is an excellent demonstrator. If the T3 had the same flexibility as my current arranger , there is no question that i would move heaven and earth to own one. If i wanted simply to switch on and play then yamaha is the go to arranger. Thanks for whoever recorded this demo.

Hammer,

What was your bose system for tyros. And is it best speakers for tyros 3?

No 76 key version..... No buy! I never liked yamaha 61 keys keybeds...
