Bachus Senior Member Registered: 03/02/06 Posts: 7143	Originally Posted By: travlin'easy As an entertainer, a 24-inch monitor would be an utter disaster. Many audiences already tend to believe that an arranger keyboard player is nothing more than a glorified Karaoke player, and some don't believe that we are singing. The less that obscures you from the audience, the better! Gary So then we can asume that Korg will not work this route, but Yamaha might for their arrangers? Because for homeplayers, having a big touchscreen with lots of information and easy accesible would be a step forward, and Yamaha's Tyros design is still firstly aiming at the home players. But then suchg a screen would definately raise production prices and thats the last thing i expect Yamaha to do...So it will probably stay wishfull thinking or an optional thing for arrangers... Build in supprt for external touschscreens however could be a great thing for every one... you dont have to use them on stage, but it would allow the developers to make edditing styles and sounds a much more userfriendly thing... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Also the Montage with a newer version of that risc processor does have a touchscreen. There is only a single reason the tyros5 doesnt have a touchscreen, and thats the 70 year old community on psr tutorial indicating they dont want a touchscreen... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Imagine the tyros 5 having a touchscreen as large as the lifting part that holds the screen... Now that would be a welcome improvement... And who currently has the biggest touchscreen? Thats the Yamaha CVP 709, its 8,5" _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

If they are smart it will happen,...easy navigation while playing is critical.
