Well Ian we'll see in September, if Yamaha follows suit as they did with the release of the S910 in September 2009.

The reason I mentioned chord sequencer was that the "new" thing on the S-series not on the current Tyros was always something fairly significant.

With Korg having a Chord Sequencer on the new PA, it wouldn't be a far reach for Yamaha to follow suit with it on the S-9**...sort of a test to see if it may wind up on the Tyros5.

September, you say, Donny?

It will feel like a long wait for some.

If they put in the link to registrations files....I hope a OS upgrade to T4 adds that as well.
In addition, I wish they would add Registration buttons below the keybed (alla...Electone and others)it's a great place for them.

CS Hell yes! (Ooops I think Diki already said that)

User voices that can send MIDI Bank/pgm change

THird upper would be great..buit I doubt they do that..
Got to have a reaon to get a T4!!

I think the new S-series will look remarkably like the old one...and yes Lee, that 3rd voice would be an exclusive Tyros feature...it's not even on the high end CVP Clavinova.

For some reason, I think the addition of the chord sequencer would be so logical...first, it's not a significantly costly thing, and, secondly, since the S-series is meant for younger buyers (under 90-around Diki's age) who would find such a feature smacking of coolness; it also would rob some of the "exclusiveness" of Korg's PA being the only arranger to have it...plus, it would be on an arranger that was a lot less money.

I really hope something like this happens...and, it follows what I said earlier about competition...it always improves the breed, and benefits us players.

just regarding the 3 upper voice thing - I was very surprised yet Impressed to discover that the Korg PA50SD has 3 upper voices...

and it costs half the price of the PSR S910...

why must a Yamaha fan pay Tyros 4 price to get 3 upper voices? its not breakthrough technology

Just a chord sequencer would do me. I would then even be tempted to wean myself off 76 keys wink

1. semi weighted keys
2. touch screen
3. Motif XF sound engine
4. cheaper

I know these are 4 points. I have more but these are the most important for me.
