Great find Scott!

NOW were cooking! The T4 sounds super.
That's exactly the music I like/play. And the setup I want.
This is actually a Tyros Organ (by function).
Lower manual & bass pedals. He did not use any styles IMHO for this piece.
Finally I may be able to get a high end organ without importing a Yamaha Stagea.

So, I need to contact him to see if he is just using stock OTTB T4 sounds, MIDI configuration etc....and which pedal unit and lower MIDI knd controller he is using (any should work, but I would like is opinion).

I heard rumblings that Yamaha was going to announce a upgrade for T4 using Lower manual & pedals??
It is important because even though you can add the lower & pedals right now....none of the registrations etc are setup for it so you have to roll your own (not to hard).

Sure wish they would have shown him playing so we could see his hands etc.

Ian, do you have a e-mail address for him? (PM me).

Lee, the Registick, after market USB plug-in from Yamaha Club, has all of the midi templates, registrations etc. to add 2nd keyboard and pedals. Turns it into an organ with many extra organ voices.

Lee, the Yamaha Club, located in the U.K., will mail it to U.S.
I think I saw at one time Richard Bower is a co-creator of the Registick. Detailed info on after market products and ways of configuring Tyros is avail. at http://www.yamahapkowner.com/forum/index.php?board=98.0.

Plus you have many people with experience on all things Tyros.
regards, chuck

I doubt the Pa3x will come close to the sound of the T4...especially for the music you want to perform...
If you were a gigger I could see using the Pa3x.

Donny,
Well, yes...I do think you are correct.
I may just push the button...but I need to sell my PA2XPRO first...should be easy as it is like new, and perfectly working, never left the house.

OK, Chuck I will check it all ou in YPKO.

well Lee I would suggest you sell it ASAP before the PA3x comes to market or your liable to take a deep financial hit afterwards.... Good Luck.

They are a hangover from the great theater organ days. Those always WERE very popular at seaside resorts, and the 'home organ' market remained more vibrant than over here in the States. You'll see that home organ bias (not in a bad sense, though!) from many of our English members. It's just a 'culture' thing...
