All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha Tyros 3

- The tyros 3 is simply a beast incroyble, sounds are mind-blowing, I found the styles on the internet and this instrument has everything I wanted:
- Slow rhythms and classical, is played like a piano (with the same sensitivity, not necessarily in the rhythm)
- More quickly through menus
- King realism, which is great it is to add the joints 1 and 2 on foot
- Sound loops or pieces made entirely from a CD at the touch of a button, a bit like Dj
- Améliarion keyboard
- As the Nord Lead displacement Octave keys, transposition, etc. ... are located near the left hand and easily reachable
- New battery kites are great: you can play the same piece with variations of batteries in a very pro (to pre-program on "Registration Memory")
- They worked on the "subwoofers" for use at all costs, the result is amazing, it gives an extra dimension to pieces.
- A lot of improvement on the intros and "change hands" before I rarely use changes such as a
- Everything is fast, simple and clear, they have really advanced technology combined with simplicity

I would not change arranger for the world today.

UTILIZATION

Hyper fast and simple, nothing to add

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, I had a Roland G 70, a pro Pa1X, etc ...
I do not spare it for the world arranger
To complement the touch and sounds I also use an Access Virus TI and a Roland RD 700 SX

Arranger, Tyros 2 successor. See Yamaha web site for more information!

UTILIZATION

Easier configuration than on the Tyros 2 because the layout is better thought-out and the sliders add some advantages. But I miss a Roland or Korg-like touch screen.

Very easy FX editing but poor sound editing. Style editing requires a computer (a CD-ROM is provided).

The user's manual is quite good but I haven't read much of it because I just got the Tyros 3 today!

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for one hour!

Pros:
- Sound articulation details (articulation 2 allows you to create nuances, especially for solo instruments)
- Piano, saxophone, guitar and Celtic instruments' sound quality
- Accompaniments quality. A real delight, I had never heard such quality (the U2-like 80's accompaniment is amazing, as if U2 were actually playing with me). It's very inspiring for my own compositions. I love it...
- Quality of percussions and rhythm parts

Cons:
- Keyboard quality. I wish it were a half-weighted keyboard (M-Audio has a good one)
- The sliders look very cheap.

The value for money is quite good. Compared to the Tyros 2, this new version brings few but important enhancements. People playing in a top 40 band won't notice big differences between T2 and T3. On the other hand, solo entertainers will notice that nuances and quality have been greatly enhanced. It's stunning! As if you played the instruments for real.

There's a lot of talk about the Audya, which will have a live rhythm section, but I think its solo instruments won't reach the Tyros 3 quality. Will the Audya have such a broad accompaniment palette to choose from as the Tyros 3 ?

To wrap it up: you get more styles, better sound quality, enhanced expression and a more ergonomic instrument, making it more enjoyable.

It's been a while since the last time a synth surprised me (Korg M1). It sounds so good, with such detail that it brings my creativity and my songs further.

If I could I would buy two... but I would have to be rich!!!
