Yamaha Tyros 2 launched in October 2005. Its 3 years since Yamaha launched the original Tyros so theyve had plenty of time to introduce new sounds rhythms and features. | |
First ImpressionsPreview 5th September The styling of the Tyros 2 in similar to the Tyros with the sharp corners chamfered. It looks better - more sophisticated. Enthusiasts will appreciated the styling but our other halves probably wont notice that weve upgraded, this has definite advantages.Click Here for details of the Tyros3 |

Sound Quality Yamaha have always produced good quality sounds, the Tyros 2 has many of the original sounds of Tyros. The emphasis is now on the way that the sound is delivered. The sound that we hear is dependant upon how hard we hit the key and whether we use after touch. Tyros 2 looks at the way we are playing the notes are we playing legato, staccato. the computer looks at all aspects of our phrasing, considers how a real instrument would sound and replicates it. Close your eyes and you can visualize the performance of a real guitarist or saxophonist. This is what makes the Tyros 2 special. | |
There are a few more buttons on the Tyros 2 the
front panel still doesnt look cluttered and the benefit is huge. Hard Disk Recording Yamaha have introduced it for real audio. You can record yourself playing and singing and then save as an audio file. Cool ! This how I would use it, but what if I sang out of tune can I edit the file. I spoke to James Sergeant and he told me that it multi tracks. This is great because I can record my tune with the the keyboard, then sing along, then add a guitar track ( my real guitar not the Tyros 2 guitar ) I might then want to fill out the recording with some strings from the Tyros 2. If I make a mistake at any stage I just re-record that track. There are digital recorders on the market already from as little as £249. The Yamaha system is better because its neat, no leads, there is no loss of sound quality from compressing the file and the quality of effects is up there with the best of digital recorders. |

400 Rhythms A lot of
effort has been put into improving the rhythms of the Tyros 2. Martin Harris
and his Team of programmers has made a huge difference to the Yamaha sound over
the last 4 years. He doesnt just rely on his own awesome talent, he has
invited musicians from all over the world to participate in the programming of
Tyros 2 The fact that Martin Harris is from the UK means the UK has special attention to the sounds and styles that we like ( deservedly so ) . As an example there are lots of new organ styles. The team from Yamaha purchased several older organs , sampled them and created more organ sounds, this would suit the UK and USA market in particular. |
|
Basically I feel that Yamaha have made a great effort in Tyros 2. They are the market leader in top quality keyboards and clearly have no intention of letting any other manufacturer beat them. You will see Tyors2 in the shops in early October 2005 and early orders will be fulfilled during October and November. | |
