Not even remotely interested, but thanx. I'm not a Tyros guy. I love playing my KorgPA900, and now that I have the 9000PRO, I can enjoy triggering my Roland JV module from beneath the Korg for an even more diverse sound. The Korg is all I use live ... haven't had the desire or need to lug any more keys or weight to work in AGES. This old relic was the right price, in the right condition, from the right guy.

I really hope they do a nice job on this new one, Brooster

I'm happy as a clam with my Tyros4, but, it would be great if the Tyros5 hits one out of the park for Yamaha. There are a lot of people very interested in this new arranger.

Since my retirement this year, from over 25 years as a Yamaha Demonstrator/Clinician, I am no longer privy to the juicy pre-launch information that my job used to allow.

But, in a way, it's a good thing, as I get to feel excited right alongside you other Yamaha enthusiasts.

Thanks for the link. We should know a lot more very soon.

Better listen to Rico and Tony. I think whatever is coming will be totally different, regardless of Yamaha's history of incremental updates in the disguise of all new TOTL.
Before I would be enticed, it would have to have great (read totally different) drums, more ergonomic size/shape. It would have facility for foot controls other than the bulky, expensive proprietary FC10. (I think that's the name.)
If it is going to mostly audio styles, they had better at least approach the level that Ketron has achieved.
Also, to NOT have a touch screen is archaic these days.
As my friend DNJ says, what's the hurry?

As some say, what’s the hurry, I’m content, for now, playing my little gigs with the S950. It’s got more than I’ll ever use. However, this new model will have to be a real game changer to get my interest. If so, I might be inclined to wait until the second or third wave of shipments, assuming that the first batch may have glitches and bugs that may need fixin’.

Hi Ian



I second your proposal...

I mentioned this earlier in this thread.
If this is a real 76 key Tyros 5 it looks like it is about the same width as the 61 key Tyros 5!
Open up a picture of a T4 and compare the two.
Look at the USB storage device slot on the 76 key Tyros and compare it to the USB storage device slot on the Tyros 4. That alone saves about six keys. Now look at the left side of the keyboard. the wheels are much closer to the edge on the 76 T5 than the T4.

I am totally convinced it has full audio, just like the Audy. I can read this in the remarks of those in the know. So at last, there is competition for the Audya.

The original picture has been removed from the PSR Tutorial site per request of Yamaha Europe, since the partecipants to the event signed a non-desclosure agreement. The official Tyros 5 presentation will take place Monday, the 18th of November 2013.
