- Please make the voice buttons (brass, guitar piano etc.) closer to the screen and with bigger buttons.

I find it very difficult to change voices with the buttons all the way on the far right and tiny ones at that.

I prefer them to be right next to the screen on the right. and with bigger buttons, similar to the psr 2000 3000 1500 etc.

- Also, leave the multi pads on the left side, as in older models, and have the one touch setting closer to the middle.

- Make that the OTS of a PRESET style can be changed without having to save it as a user style.

- Make them BLACK!

George, how about...
-A dedicated button for "On Bass" chord recognition (or a user-definable button that can be assigned this function)
-Mark and Jump buttons (and the related functionality) to play along with MIDI files
-Dedicated knob to balance "live" vs backing tracks
-At least one "assignable slider" (or allow the modulation wheel to be remapped for this purpose)
-Software support for the MFC-10 foot controller (or better still a new, smaller MFC-6 foot controller)
-Larger screen, say 640 x 480

Thanks!

It's time they made cases the way we have been wanting. The ones they have available are too long. We don't need them to carry the speakers. We want them so they fit sideways in cars. Their hardshell case weighs more than the Tyros !

I want to see cases like the Guradian which weighs only 11 pounds available:
http://www.guardiancases.com/ck010.html

I also want to have the cases made for Oostendorp in the Netherlands available. Only 13 pounds:
http://www.oostendorp-muziek.nl/Yamaha_Tyros_1_30065.html

I would like to see a setting for drums that have a choice between CD quality drums and actual Live sounding drums.

I would like more global settings, especially to beef up the drums and bass. Including volume, eq, etc.

A 76 note PSR.

Being able to save more on the Music Finder, such as transpose.

A tap tempo that is accurate. I am a drummer and I can tell you the current tap tempo is way too touchy. It's all over the place.

Get the multi pad buttons back where they were, along with the reg mem buttons.

How about a built in function that causes third party styles and midis to normalize and also set the other parameters the same as they are with the onboard styles.

Hi George,

I know I'm dreaming but here goes!!

The XF just released, synth wstation, why oh why cant it have arranger functions, its already got arpegiators on board and so on, i think this addresses most of the wants listed previously, it seems like we are going round in circles when the answer is right in front of us, check out Bert Smorenberg's demo on Sonicstate.com

Hello George ,

Here is my wish list for Tyros 4!

1.Built in speakers.

2.sponzy feel keyboard very convenient for the players with light touch(Weighted keys not needed)

3.RAM memory atleast 2GB.

4.Programable extra buttons: In case of layering of voices L1,R1,R2,R3. The four layering voices is inadequate in case of loading Pipe organ stops.We need to load and play atleast 10 stops at a time.So extra buttons R1 TO R10 or extra 10 programmable buttons just like Korg professional arranger keyboards.

5.Downloadable Organ Flutes Voices : The organ drawbar section in Tyros-3 is fantastic but limited to 20 organ flutes voices only.We need extra organ flutes voices to be downloaded and the sliders should work for the downloadable organ voices.

6.XLR dual microphone inputs with independent volume controls is welcome.

7.Digital SPDIF output is needed or USB support for audio for connecting USB Monitors and mixers.

8.Style tempo lock button : A new tempo lock feature/button is very much needed to freeze selected tempo even if we stop and select another style without going to default values.Who need default tempo?

9.New Theatrical DSP effects for live playing: There is lot of difference between live and onboard recorded sound of Tyros-3 .The recorded sound is having more depth and great theatrical effect when compared to live sound.We need deep theatrical effects (cinema sound) in DSP/REVERB for live performance.

10.Non volatile RAM (NVRAM)/flash memory to keep the expansion voices into memory after powering off the Tyros, and then avoid the long load process when powering on the keyboard.

11.Increase/decrease the Style tempo with a foot pedal

12.Encoding from HDR and playing MP3 files in the Tyros. Having a MP3 play list too.

13.A better way to play automatic guitar strums with Mega-voices on keyboard (something like, as soon as 4 keys are played, a full strum in the 2 directions in phase with tempo) with Harmonic.

14.Loading VST voices and drum loops automatically into keyboard voices and styles.

15.Assigning Brightness(filter) to the modulation wheel very useful for live playing.

16.Stick pitch bender/modulation rather than wheels.

Sunny

As ROBO said,

tell them to create an add-on arranger feature for the Motif XF.

George , please tell them that yamaha are losing a huge amount of sales to korg simply because they dont have a fully featured sampler and sequencer on board. these functions wont add a jot to the weight or expense of the keyboard and wont put existing yamaha customers off as they dont have to use these functions if they dont want to or dont want to learn to but these functions are essential to any serious musician that does not want to use a computer to make their own music.

These are major shortfalls in yamaha products and the sole reason i bought a korg over a yamaha.
