A couple of meaningless (?) observations: 1) the crowd is MOSTLY old(er) folks ... 2)obviously the weather is cold - they all have their coats on even though inside ... 3)the crowd does not look happy ... ?!?!? 4) the KB sounds really good ...
Regarding #1, when was this demo given?... was it a week day when most younger people might be working? Surely there are SOME young people interested in Arrangers ...
Tony these people were probably "invited guests" for the T5 Demo by the music store so you can see who they targeted for perspective buyers at that price ...
Interesting observation backed up by many here in SZ. Why doesn't Yamaha market this as a modern instrument for the young musician. All they have to do is add dance, DJ, and audio looping features and this board would be in every dance floor.
What's interesting is that the Pa3x user base seems to be younger and korg seems to focus more in that demographic.

As a former T4 owner, I can tell you unequivocally the T5 sounds MUCH different than the T5. The drums on the audio styles played by Michel sounded awesome. And I love the sound of the "Guitar Tuning" effect. That was awesome. The ensemble on Fanfare just doesn't sound as good on the T4.
What more do you want Donny? I don't get it?
Plus, what is it with all the "Old People" references? Are we getting discriminatory now as well? Is everyone implying the T5 is for old people? (that's the demographic for almost everyone on this board!)
Almost every song Michel played was a Rock song and those new guitars really give the keyboard a nice edge?

... and I 'resemble that remark' ... but based on the audience in the demo vid, it certainly seems that Yamaha is targeting an 'older' clientele ...

Not many young adults (20 - 30y, my age category) have to luxury to be able to spend nearly $5500 on a keyboard. That's at least my experience in the Netherlands and the reason why just adding some 'DJ functions' does not change the target audience for a Tyros.
I'm 33 years old and have owned every Tyros since I was 23. Not because I'm rich and can afford a $5500 instrument, but because it's how I make my living.
That said, who pays $5500 for a Tyros??? I paid $3350 brand new for my T4, and under $3900 for T5. Does anyone actually pay the full price???

in these T5 that can't be done or sound like on a T4/S950 what am I missing?
