We had our Tyros3 demo on the 6th October and this is what
we thought ;
"It had to be difficult for Yamaha to produce a keyboard significantly
better that the Tyros2 after all its a fantastic instrument. It has to be
significantly better otherwise why would anyone want to upgrade. James Sergeant
was our Yamaha demonstrator for the night. James was enthusiatic from the
start and did a brilliant job demonstrating the Tyros3.
Jamess demonstration was very different from previous demonstrations that
we have had from both Yamaha and other manufacturers.He briefly explained the
new sampling methods, how the new voices were created and then he played, a
little more explanation and comparison and then he played. The
emphasis was on sound quality all the way through the demonstration. James
held our undivided attention for over an hour and a half showing us the
differances between the new technology and what we were used to.
I was totally amazed when James showed us a comparison between Tyros
Tyros2 and Tyros3 saxophones, I thought Tyros2 had a great saxophone
until I heard the Tyros3 saxophone... it wasnt just better... it was
massively better, this was true of all of the super-articulation2 voices.
Tyros3 is approaching the flexibility in tone that a natural acoustic
instrument achieves and I find that incredible. I love organ voices and they
have been beefed up once more giving us that rich tone of organs in their
heyday. The piano voice has been taken from the CVP range, other voices from
Yamahas pro-music Motif series.... in total over 500 new voices... all of them
better quality. It seems to me that the guys who made the Tyros3 have been
round all the divisions of Yamaha and taken each departments very best sounds
to create the Tyros3.
There are plenty of new styles on the Tyros 3 and those that carry
over from the Tyros 2 hae been improved and re balanced using the better
voicing and technology of the of the Tyros3...by Alan Hamilton

Our demonstrators have attended the initial preview day in
May of this year and the training days in September this is what they thought :
The Tyros 3 is all about quality of sound, the new sounds are quite
stunning in how much better they are than tyros 2 which is all the more
incredible considering how good tyros 2 was and still is, we all thought how
are they going to beat this? But somehow they’ve managed it, everything
thats good about tyros 2 is still there and the way you use the instrument is
quite rightly the same. (don’t change what aint broke).
Of course there are subtle differences like the sliders which was an
obvious improvement that should have been there in the first place, another
obvious addition was an inbuilt hard drive which is now included in the price,
but again the reason why people will buy the tyros 3 is that sheer
quality of sound, and that same quality also has a positive impact on the
backing styles which now utilise those higher quality sounds and together with
additional and improved effects means that the whole accompaniement sound will
be far better, even styles which have the same name as before will sound a lot
better simply because they are using better sounds.
All in all Yamaha have done a great job and you don’t need me to tell
you how good it is, play it and you will buy it, it’s as simple as that !

sound quality with maximum musical versatility.So what’s new about Tyros3 ?
Well, just about everything – far to much to detail in the space available
here!
The most unchanged aspect of the instrument is its overall appearance, because
Yamaha wanted to maintain the family look, but, more importantly, maintain the
operating system so owners of both the original Tyros and Tyros2 would
instantly feel at home with the instrument.
However, there are a number of important changes to the panel, the most obvious
of which is the addition of 9 sliders positioned beneath the LCD screen. These
sliders effect a number of different functions, depending on the feature
selected, but for lovers of organ sounds, their most important function is to
change the organ footages, in a similar way to traditional ‘drawbar’
based instruments. This makes changing voices ‘on the fly’ very
easy.
Sound Quality & Super Articulation2
This is a musical instrument – so sound quality is all important, and
Tyros3 takes the listeners sonic experience to new heights. One of the
key contributors to this is the brand new Super Articulation2 voices. Super
Articulation was first introduced on the Tyros2, adding many detailed musical
nuances to the orchestral sounds. This has been taken to new heights with Super
Articulation2.
Each Super Articulation2 sound features a vast selection of supporting samples
to the main ‘voice’ sample. Depending on how you play (or if you use
the new Art1 and Art2 buttons) the keyboard automatically selects one of these
‘supporting’ samples to add incredible level of realism. Any of the
Super Articualtion2 voices can glissando, bend and articulate, just like the
real thing. However each voice responds differently, like the individual
instrument. Frankly you need to hear it to believe it! This is only the
beginning.
There is a host of new sounds across every voice section of the instrument.
This includes a brand new Piano voice (taken directly from a Clavinova CVP
range) and a complete new organ section, with new Theatre and Jazz organ
voicing and a range of new effects.
New Styles Tyros3
The accompaniment section has been greatly extended, offer a total of 450
styles. Any styles that have been carried over from Tyros2 have been upgraded,
and many have new Intros and Endings, creating a total new musical feel.
Digital Sound Processor
(D.S.P.)One feature that has improved the overall sound quality is the new DSP
effects. Now boasting high quality reverbs (and a host of additional effects)
the new DSP blocks have enriched the quality of every section of the
instrument.
New Features
Tyros 3 comes complete with 80GB hard drive, allowing a massive amount
of storage space for registrations, additional styles/voices or recordings.
The LCD screen uses TFT technology, making it vibrant and clear, and can
be seen clearly from just about any angle. A new ‘sync start’
function ensures perfect timing when engaging a multipad, while the built in
LAN port allows easy connection for those using the unique Yamaha Internet
Direct Connection feature. Tyros3 Specifications
