Mike, it looks like both you and the photo are getting criticism on one particular site set up after the demise of YKPO.The same picture story is running on serveral of the US forums and at present I reckon that the odds, by the forum members, are for it being a bad fake
As i said looks real to me, we must wait and see.
Wotcha Leo,
Well I think I can guess which site that is .... in many respects I can't really blame them.
It has been almost two years since I dis-associated myself from 'Kieth Osbourn', and this 'tale' started some 12 months prior to that event ... certain things had been said by a few ex-ypko members that questioned Osbourn's integrity, foolishly I got involved and found myself vehemently defending him over what had been said.
In a further act of complete stupidity, I also made certain accusations about Keith Ball and his 'site management methods'
Had I spent a moment or two evaluating the situation properly before I shot my mouth off, I would have discovered that the situation had been, to the greater part, manipulated by the very person I was trying to defend
So, two year after I discovered that they were probably right in what they said, I guess I owe Keith Ball and his team an apology for what I said ......
Anyway Leo, enough of the sacrament of penance for now .... the Tyros 5 picture is the real thing, may very well look similar to all other Tyros models but that is where the similarity ends ... by all accounts it is 'a giant leap forward' for the Tyros series, and has some stunning new features, you wait, you'll see soon
A teaser of what is to come ..... Source: Kaye's Music Scene, California.
76 AND 61-key models
Incredible new Voice content including but not limited to new SA2 Voices, new pianos, EPs and keyboards and a mind-blowing new ensemble Voice feature that will redefine what you think of as "real"
Exciting new Style content with all-new Audio Styles
Trigger chords from the right or left-hand, play left-hand bass or play piano-style while the Style plays the bass.
New graphics for the new ORGAN WORLD Voices and effect editing give Tyros the feel of a professional recording studio.
New audio features like Audio Link Multi Pad, Time Stretch, Pitch Change and Vocal Cancel.
Sounds the biz to me .....
Mike
