Hi Fred,
Re: The Tyros3 demo. I visited the site and trawled through the whole thing. Firstly, I have to say it's difficult to pass comment on the sound because I don't have very good speakers on my PC. Having said that, I think:
1) The TFT screen will be better.
2) I like the new Super Articulation.
3) The Grand Piano is excellent.
4) Medium Big Band Shuffle is excellent
(seems very familiar - a KN copy perhaps?)
5) I like the fact that you can record
direct to the hard disk which I
understand is still an optional add-on
and for the price I would have thought
it would have been included.
6) Having a USB Port on the front is
definitely a bonus, but I would have
liked to have seen at least another
one if not more.
I did feel they should have shown the cost as that is usually the deciding factor for many people when considering a change. I understand this is going to be around £3,400 including the speakers which, by the way, haven't changed from the design of the
Tyros 2.
My local Dealer is arranging a personal demonstration in our area and I am hoping to persuade him to come to our Keyboard Club as there are one or two Yamaha fans who would be very interested. Even though I am considering getting a Tyros, the KN7 is still 'King' for me until proven otherwise.
All the best - Audrey
