THE TYROS 2 - MY OPINION

Greetings, all -
I have been reading the specs on the Tyros 2. There is a lot to grasp but certain things come to mind - One, for starters and I quote, "PLEASE NOTE: TRSMS01 speakers will not mount on the new Tyros2 keyboard." A question one might ask, do ANY speakers mount on this keyboard? While on the subject of speakers, I am assuming there are no inboard speakers in this keyboard as there are on the KN boards - right? If so, I think this is a disappointment. Frankly, the speakers shown on the keyboard in the image look like two warts on a witch's chin plus, you have a woofer on the floor to stub your toes into. It certainly cuts down on having a variety of pedals to use. Keep in mind, you have all this "excess baggage" (speakers) to carry on a gig, along with whatever p.a. equipment you use.
With all the features this keyboard has, I am surprised that there are no recording capabilities other than using ONLY the sounds in the keyboard. Unless I am wrong, you can't for instance play a DAT recording of material done on a different keyboard, record it and make it play what was recorded, as you would with a typical outboard multi-track recorder. I'll ask now, can you record voices (human) in the sequencer? Technics didn't have this capability, which was a big disappointment.
Reading the specs, I don't see anything mentioned about composing your own accompaniment, as can be done in the KN series. Surely you can - it speaks of up to 8 tracks available for preset styles. Perhaps I didn't grasp it being mentioned in the specs.
From what I read, there isn't a way to use all our hard work done in the KN's in the T 2 - only "styles done in other Yamaha products." Where does this leave us that have done a lot of good work in the KN keyboards? Are we to toss this aside and move on with technology or keep the KN in order to be able to use what we have done? Questions, questions.
In closing, a word on technology - I am amazed that the Tyros 2 and other high-end keyboards haven't output jacks on EVERY track instead of just a left and right. This is a professional MUST for studio work. Lastly and as important, why no CD burning capabilities? Good grief, there are excellent 8 - 16 track hard disk recorders on the market that will fit in the palm of you hand and most all have CD burners in them. It doesn't take much room. These small recorders have mixing capabilities...the works. Of course, you wouldn't need the mixing capabilities because the keyboard has a mixer built in it. With technology becoming cheaper and cheaper and with the cost of this keyboard...one would expect anything and everything - perhaps in the Tyros 3.

Hi John C. Well said. ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/wink.gif) I can only tell you guys that I was an avid Technics KN5000 keyboard fan & player BEFORE I eventually moved to the Tyros. BOTH the KN7000 and Tyros have their strengths, and it's up to us to determine WHICH features of each are MOST IMPORTANT to us for our uniquely specific kb performance needs. As much as I appreciate the KN7000 as most everyone else obviously does ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/wink.gif) here, the FACT remains that it no longer has Technics Corp for product support, parts, or service. Considering this fact, and wear and tear resulting from usage, I would think that those of you who want to continue playing arrangers need to begin searching for an alternative brand, even if it means sacrificing some features, yet gaining others. In the area of OS Navigation, I've found Yamaha's user friendly 'ease of use' OS navigation (and picking it up) at least equal to Technics. Whatever you guys decide to do, I wish you the best in what we ALL share in: playing & sharing the joy of music thru our arranger keyboards. Scott ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif)

Originally posted by kn7: While on the subject of speakers, I am assuming there are no inboard speakers in this keyboard as there are on the KN boards - right? Yes, this is correct. And to me, that's a GOOD thing as built into the keyboard speakers add significant weight, making it much more inconvenient for frequent gig transport. The weight different between Tyros1 & the Kn7000 is over 10 lbs. As far as using built-in speakers, or the Tyros add-in attachment speakers, I find them only useful in a living room size setting and unsuitable for any venue larger than this. Because of this, I rarely (if ever) utilize the Tyros speakers for gigs. I instead utilize a portable (but much more powerful) Motion Sound KP100S amp, or larger PA system to my gigs. Originally posted by kn7: With all the features this keyboard has, I am surprised that there are no recording capabilities other than using ONLY the sounds in the keyboard. Tyros2 in fact actually DOES include digital audio sound recording (2 stereo tracks) for recording/playback of vocals, or recording/playback of output from it's sequencer's 16 midi tracks, or any external audio source (CD's, etc) you want to record. Originally posted by kn7:

You can, on the Tyros2, reocrd and playback material recorded from another keyboard or sound source. Originally posted by kn7:
I'll ask now, can you record voices (human) in the sequencer? Yes, in the Tyros2 Audio Recording Sequencer. see above. Originally posted by kn7:
Reading the specs, I don't see anything mentioned about composing your own accompaniment, as can be done in the KN series. Surely you can - it speaks of up to 8 tracks available for preset styles. Yes you can, but it's imo admitedly a lot easier to create styles on the KN7000 than on the Tyros itself. On the other hand, there is FREE software available on the internet which allows you to create CUSTOM STYLES for the Tyros, and it, in my opinion is even easier (user friendly) than doing on the KN7000. Originally posted by kn7:

Where does this leave us that have done a lot of good work in the KN keyboards? Are we to toss this aside and move on with technology or keep the KN in order to be able to use what we have done? Questions, questions. . Valid concerns, but considering Technics is no longer in business, and the fact that the Technics proprietary arranger format is no longer company supported, I strongly suggest that people begin thinking about doing their future work in a more universal format, of which Yamaha's styles & songs are: SMF compatible.

This is a professional MUST for studio work. Lastly and as important, why no CD burning capabilities? I don't expect an arranger keyboard to be all things: powerful performance board as well as all incompassing production house music studio. I prefer dedicating an external software sequencer like Sonar or Cubase for big projects as they offer both MORE power and easier to navigate & view full PC screen interface. That said, we all have to come to our conclusions. I certainly have come to mine. Thanks to my Technics forum friends for letting me share my thoughts on this. Happy keyboarding to all, Scott [This message has been edited by Scottyee (edited 10-04-2005).]

Hi,
The 'computerised technicalities' of keyboards are only 'THE MEANS TO AN END'. Not an end in themselves. The end product, and therefore the real purpose of having a keyboard, must surely be 'MAKING MUSIC'. The features of any keyboard that assists us in creating the music of our choice, are therefore going to be viewed differently from player to player, according to their reason for having the keyboard in the first instance. And their musical taste.
The most important features for me, are the combined features of the sequencer and composer. I don't play out anymore, and my main pursuit on the keyboard is to multi-track my own arrangements and orchestrations, just for the satisfaction and pleasure I get from doing so. -- The KN7000 gives me a sequencer which, in my opinion, is second-to-none. I don't believe any other instrument will give me likewise.
But the most important features for other players, will be totally different, according to their musical tastes, and what these features can do to produce what they want. Sampled voices - APC rhythms - Speaker quality - Ease of operation - etc etc. So, we judge our keyboards by what 'WE' want to do with them. The 'technical features' are nothing more than tools to enable each player to produce the music of their choice. - And as such, we all come from different planets.
Me. ? - My KN7000 will have to fall to bits before I give it up or exchange it. There are many many aspects to music-making. And no doubt every keyboard has features which are of importance to one player, and irrelevant to another. - Long live all of them. ! - We are all here to produce music. Every keyboard will do that. Their features are trappings/tools - not an end in themselves. - Happy music-making everyone,
Colin.

Colin. Hi Colin, Like you I shall hang onto my KN7000 as long as it behaves well,because I think this is the greatest keyboard produced in recent years. Shame on those who have or are thinking of changing to another make. Cheers, Derek Munson

WEll then SHAME ON ME, because i was the first person to place an order for the Tyros 2 with Dan O in Baltimore. I am anticipating my November delivery with great glee while I arrange to sell either 3 of 4 or 4 of 4 Technics keyboards. If I was not a progressive then i would still be using a commodore 64 with Quantum link and a lowrey micro genie keyboard. Wake up people the world is changing every day. Few people are driving Model T Fords today. We have a used keyboard store in San Jose. I just wish all you negative folks could visit it one day with me. It is like a museum. It has every antique keyboard that was the top of the line in its day but no buyers today. They sound kinda funny now days also. I agree with everything that Scott wrote in his post. One other thing that comes to mind. when you sell your Technics keyboards put a notice in the box with the synthzone address and specifically the Technics forum address. The newbies will need help if it is their first Technics and for many it will be, as I only see newbies buying Technics. I got this forum going 6 years ago and I am really happy to see you all here and the growth in this forum over the years. I believe it will still be active long after I am gone, until the last Technics breaks down and no more spare parts. However..... having said that i do need to stay current and I believe personally after several months research, I have narrowed the field of choice FOR ME to the G 70, the PA1X and the Tyros 2. I ordered the Tyros 2 Three weeks ago. it was the unanimous winner of the competition for my vote and dollars. Best to all Bebop Retired moderator of the Technics Forum. Special thanks to Nigel for all you have given to us for the Technics Forum. Long may it live ![](http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/smile.gif) Bb

Interesting replies to my post. I truly think the Technics keyboards have spoiled most of us for the fine features they have put in them over the years. When the KN6000 came out and then the KN7000, my thoughts were, where do manufacturers go from here - nearly every possibility is at your fingertips, i.e., if you have talent and really use the features put in them.
The COMPOSER is a must for me - I don't use pre-sets. I have never liked them. They are either done in 2 measures or 4 and for that reason, aren't very creative. Over the years, I have used THREE PRE-SETS and have done more work cleaning them up by changing the bass pattern, tweaking the drums, polishing up the other tracks and stretching them out to 8 measures than doing a pattern from scratch. I will say this on their behalf, they can at times inspire a better or new idea in doing a pattern. I think they are fine for those who do not know how to arrange in a professional sounding way. For those who do little original work in COMPOSER, the Tyros 2 will probably be an excellent investment. Hopefully, they have made better styles. If I remember reading correctly, the intros, fill-ins and endings have been increased by one, which should help.
Scott, I'll take a slightly heavier keyboard with built-in speakers any day over a lighter keyboard that you have to tolerate outboard speakers and a woofer that gets kicked by your feet because it is in the way. Different strokes for different folks. Doing gigs, I like to hear what I am doing up close (speakers in keyboard as monitors) as well as what is heard over p.a. speakers. By the way, I use a pair of Mackie HR824 speakers - none finer. They are expensive as hell but worth every penny.
Until the release of the Tyros 2, I will wait patiently for the hundred posts that will either be ecstatic with their purchase or somewhat disappointed.
Bebop - Good luck with your thinking. If you could, I'll bet you would like to update the Rembrandts in the museums with a few changes. (Laughter in the background)

I am getting the feeling that you are defending your purchase--no need to. You above all know that anything new will have 50 posts for it and 50 against. It is what makes the froum interesting. As for you, you have given so much, you have been a blessing to many -- so keep enjoying music and buy whatever makes you happy.You have my approval, what else do you need ha ha ha. Let's all get back on the positive, negatives have a way of striping you of another great day --- and ---- at my age, and other here, we don't want that. I for one am giving my friend Bebop a big thank you for what he has done. I hope he will give us a full report on his new keyboard. John C.

Shame on those who have or are thinking of changing to another make. Cheers, Derek Munson
Derek, why should I, or anyone be shamed!!?? I had a 7000 for a week and heard the Tyros, and changed,(I previously had two other Tech. boards), and never regretted it. There are features on the 7000 I miss, but overall, in my opinion, the Ty. was much better, the Ty.2 is streets better. I am thinking or changing my 2 year old car, if I decide on another make, should I be shamed. Clarification please. Walter.

That said, we all have to come to our conclusions. I certainly have come to mine.
Thanks to my Technics forum friends for letting me share my thoughts on this.
Happy keyboarding to all,
Scott
[This message has been edited by Scottyee (edited 10-04-2005).] I got slammed one day when I was going to buy my PSR3000,which I have now,onboard speakers,the person said why would you want to pay for a keyboard with on Board speakers?#1,don't have to lug extra cords and speakers around,but I do own 4 External speakers any way,so been there done that!#2 tried to sell my Solton MS50 know one would not touch it,NO ONBOARD SPEAKERS I was told.My KN6000 does back a lot in it,a few more things than the 3000,but 3000 is lighter,and for the price I paid,and that it sells for,there is a lot in that one,It kicks butt too!Like we all have said,Each Board has it's +'s & -'s.Let's enjoy what we have,and have fun,and thank God for these Forum sites.Learned a lot. Ron
