We've been down this Tyros vs KN7000 Road way too many times.

my post is very simple. I have been a musician for 67 years. I have owned a recording studio for many years. I have owned most of the keyboards since 1972. I always buy the top of the line. I have a KN7000 and a Yamaha 9000.
There is no comparison. The 9000 is for sale and it is supposedly a much better board then the tyros. The 9000 has not been used since the KN7000 arrived. We all make mistakes by LISTENING TO OTHERS OPINIONS!!! Do your homework and research before committing to something that might not fit your needs, once you have defined your needs.EOM

Exactly!
Just look at the guys previous posts and he is obviously incapable of, or doesn't want to make up his own mind.

I dont need to be judged here from previous posts.
I just wanted to know if peoples opinions were for the Tyros,it seems like they are in the arranger forum.So that is why I took a stab here in the Technics forum.Thankyou.

I guess you know little of this keyboard. The drums can be made to be more than you wish to handle---no poblem---yes, you're right---go listen to a Kn7000.

The one thing some of us have learned is, you will never know what the keyboard is capable of doing until you have it in your home for a while. I am just begining to understand the Tyros after 2 months.

Sorry, no easy way out---the more you dig, the more you will add confusion. 90% is feel, not facts. Most of us tend not to trust ourselves, our first impression, so we search and lose the original feelings.

Is this subject fun---yes, in a way it is. I feel it's a game, so why not play it and stay within the lines of being nice frienfly people.

On that note, I wish to establish myself as a good judge of what a acustic piano should sound like.

I have spent my working days tuning pianos for many, many years. It's my job to make a piano sound good. My Dad was also a piano tuner.

Why all this, I do not care for the Tyros acustic piano, it makes me unhappy.
That's all, I had to get that out, Hmmmm, I feel better.

Cheers, John C.

To all those who are trying to make a choice between the top arranger keyboards.

a Mp3 recording, I feel does not demo the true sound of the Technic keyboard. Downloading a Technics file--not GM file--does not help since they do not have the keyboard.

If the Technics sequences, both easy play, and step by step record were to be recorded on a CD, how can it get to the people who are searching? Is it only possible by U.S. mail?

Dazart,
The Tyros is a wonderful instrument which seems to be ideally suited for singers who accompany themselves and for the most part populate the Arranger Forum. I don’t think Tyros players would argue that the sequencer and sound editing functions on the KN7000 are more versatile and easier to use. The big question seems to be which instrument has the piano, drums and styles that suit your taste. In the hope that some of these question might be answered, check the KN7000 Demo on the mp3 page of www.kool-keys.com.

Hi JohnC.

I don't really care for that Tyros piano they use in the OTS settings much either.

I use the warm grand set one octave lower. If that isn't enough you can still tweak it to your satisfaction.

Hi JohnC.

Yes I know I for one would be interested in a CD that had a pretty good representative sound of the styles and tone of the KN7000. I would be willing to pay for it.

One kind forum member made a CD for me for the KN2600 and the PSR2100 when I was thinking along those lines.

It seems like its the next best thing to actually playing one, but I would have to agree until one can get their hands on one for a reasonable period of time, then its a lot of guess-work.

I am quite certain from my past experience that I would love to have a KN7000 and probably the new Korg PAX1 61 note version from what I have heard about it. If I had those plus my Tyros I think I would also want a strong roadie.
