Bringing you the news as we get it The information on this page is here as a guide compiled from gossip, guesswork and insider information from Yamaha themselves. A&C Hamilton have sold more units of the Tyros2 than any other UK dealer so we are confident that the information will be pretty accurate.

Inspired by Nature The new Yamaha Tyros3 will be a never ending source of inspiration, for playing, recording, learning, creating and performing. The richly expressive, authentic sounds and the powerful, dynamic rhythms will get your creative juices flowing like no other instrument. With the intelligent, easy to use performance features and the new audio recording ( See Comparisons ) function, the Tyros3 is a treasure chest of inspiration for all your musical applications. From songwriting and demo recording to arranging and live performance. Inspired by nature. Perfected by technology. Created for your personal inspiration.

Yamaha Tyros3 due to be launched in October 2008. It's 6 years since Yamaha launched the original Tyros and 3 years since the Tyros2, so they've had plenty of time to introduce new sounds rhythms and features.

First Impressions Where do Yamaha go to improve the Tyros3 ? We have knowledge that Yamaha have developed their expressive voices even further. When you play the keyboard you'll find every performance is different and fresh. Study of real instruments and the way that they are affected by the way we play them has led to more improvements in the voicing of the Tyros 3. A new piano sample is also part of the package. A big physical difference is the incorporation of real drawbars, like the wheel nobody has been able to improve upon the Hammond drawbar method of creating unique organ sounds "on the fly".

Sound Quality Yamaha have always produced good quality sounds, the Tyros 3 has many of the original sounds of Tyros2. 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 3 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 will make the Tyros 3 special.

There are a few more buttons on the Tyros3 the front panel still doesn't 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 ! A&C Hamilton believe that the option to save audio direct to a USB stick is on the cards ( this is an informed judgement) 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 3 guitar ) I might then want to fill out the recording with some strings from the Tyros3. 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 it's 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.

at least 400 Rhythms A lot of effort has been put into improving the rhythms of the Tyros 3. Martin Harris and his Team of programmers has made a huge difference to the Yamaha sound over the last 3 years. He doesn't just rely on his own awesome talent, he has invited musicians from all over the world to participate in the programming of Tyros3 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 3. They are the market leader in top quality keyboards and clearly have no intention of letting any other manufacturer beat them. You will see Tyros3 Tyrors2 in the shops in early October 2005 and early orders will be fulfilled during October and November.
