A gigabyte is a reasonable amount of space, particularly as many people will use the Tyros with computer software and storage. Voice Sampling: The Tyros4 came with 1GB of custom voice sampling space, which was optional on previous models. That said, once you hit a couple of thousand distinct voices, each of which can be aurally shaped both during performance and in basic structure, does the average user really need any more? I’d expect around 1,500 factory preset voices to be in a Tyros5, with more emphasis on the feature voices (Articulation, Cool, Live, etc.) With Tyros being marketed primarily as an arranger/music production workstation rather than a synth, I’d expect more dynamic voices to be on any new Tyros, probably with more ways of controlling them and perhaps tweaking their sound. Number of Voices: The number of on-board voices has steadily increased with each Tyros generation, and we’re now used to seeing keyboards coming with thousands of voices ready to go. Sound System: Yamaha’s AWM Stereo Sampling system has served it well, receiving various upgrades along the way and present in many of its keyboards and digital pianos. I’d be surprised to see any new standard controllers added to the unit, given its size. The Tyros 4 introduced nine data sliders and two articulation switches, not found on previous models, so I’d expect to see at least this on a Tyros 5. Obviously touch response is a necessity, rarely missing from any but the cheapest keyboards.Ĭontrollers: All previous models had the near-ubiquitous pitch and modulation wheels plus multi pads. Given the physical keyboard has remained the same, it would be strange not to include it. Aftertouch/Touch Response: Yamaha would be crazy not to add aftertouch to the Tyros5, given its presence in all previous models.
