Tyros 4 the sintesator from the heaven! Every day i say thanks for developers from Yamaha!!! Bravo!!!!!!!
Honestly I find it hard to believe anyone could go wrong with either one. Both sound great and it just comes down to personal taste IMO
Your comment helped me understand what to look for in a keyboard.
I always thought that Yamaha keyboards were fantastic sounding, until you pointed out the fact that they seem to have effects already added.
This has changed my thinking on Yamaha keyboards completely.
As you say, the natural sound should come first, THEN add any effects after.
I'm just so glad that you pointed this out.
I have learned SO much from peoples comments here on youtube.
We MUST protect the internet, at all costs.
4:38 That choir sound on the Yamaha is insane!!
I am playing on stage for over 20 years I used to buy Yamaha keyboards before but since 12 years I am using korg pa series first pa80 then pa800-pa1x-pa2x and just recently bought my pa3x. its dream machine! i am not saying Yamaha tyros is bad! its great keyboard but not for me. always before i buy anything new i try other companies what they have to offer watching you tube video's can be educational but when you touch the key's yourself is totally different story. the feeling the sound response and even operating the keyboard is all related i found out for me is only korg has it all.
Winner is Tyros. Because the sound is most real, all the sounds are better than korg.
It is interesting when direct comprisons are heard. Everyone will have their own favourite and it will always be a varied response. Thanks for the message!
I agree. The better synths is a matter of subjective opinion. I can hear a slight difference, but really the result is more the skill of the musician than the synth. If you're not a professional musician and you don't need the absolute latest instrument, you can get one of these pretty cheap now (about $2,000) on eBay. I intend to get one or the other, but I'm undecided. I've heard enough side-by-side comparisons of the Tyros 4 & 5 and the Korg 3X and 4X to know how they all sound. Now, I'd like to see more a comparison of features and what all the buttons do, but nobody is doing that.
I think Tyros 4 is the winner.
I would also say that it depends heavily upon the genre of music being played on both instruments!
Thanks for your comments. We did not want to make it so long that it got boring to watch but wanted to make sure we got through enough sound and style comparisons to make it fair. Problem is there is so much in both products it is difficult to know what to choose for comparison purposes!
It´s called ACCOMPANIMENT which is some kind of funcion to play your song along. By pressing buttons you can control that backing like an Intro or an Ending
tyros is the best
Yamaha Tyros 4 is the winner. Better sound, much more natural and realistic than Korg PA3X. The sound of korg PA3X looks like it comes from the box and the yamaha looks like I'm listening to live. Undoubtedly tyros 4 is the winner. I would love to have a Tyros 4 but it is very expensive.
Hello guys! I 've played them both for many live performances and I must say that both of them are the best a professional musician can buy. Yamaha Tyros 4 has more sweet sounds but it doesn't make them more realistic. Korg pa3x has more realistic sounds plus better performance on stage. The huge difference between these two is that the Tyros 4 has better libraries I mean better styles. It's more professional. Korg has simple styles but it's easier working a style on a korg than on a Tyros.
I hear the difference as a musician at the Korg sound and Tyros. I like the Tyros and based on it line Yamaha S-series. Tyros plays cleaner (also Yamaha) and more comprehensive than the Korg. the more they will always be competitors. Classical instruments better at Yamaha, 30 heard synthesizers 25 firms and can not judge the sound quality of all synthesizers, which I had. Now Korg begins to lose its leading position in some respects, and styles they are now almost at the same level.
Excellent comparison; well done and thank you! Each instrument has it's purpose. Personally, I like the Tyros much better. I am not a sound engineer, and the styles and voices sound simply great right out of the box.
But the main question is: which instrument is the most fun playing? Look at how many TH-cam video's there are for the Tyros 4 and for the PA3X. The numbers speak for themselves.
I'm a big Fan of Korg Products all the way,,buy you can't underestimate the power of that Yamaha Tyros. Both sound good..Tyros sounds a Tab bit Richer in the Acoustic section in my opinion....So if i had to choose between the 2 i would probably get that Tyros...
Korg is my instrument these days and their technology and sound quality is improving all the time. Now I'm waiting for HD video multimedia to be in my stage performance instrument as well as the great sound.
Tyros 4 the Best!
Fantastic video! I like both Korg and Yamaha, but I have to say the Tyros 4 wins for me.
Well, for a musician its simple. If you want to take the one that sounds real, Tyros is your choice. It always was, for a true musician. Thats what a musician dreams: a keyboard that can record a performance with REAL instruments. This always was my choice, although i played both Yamaha and Korg keyborads. Thats how i got convinced. I checked myself!
Tyros 4 much clearer sound Love it.
But sometimes too much studio sound.
yam sounds more realistic, also in a warmer sound room. the korg sounds like its playing in a metal trash can, which could be the sound environment setting.
I most certainly agree with your comments .The Tyros5 is a much "warmer" sound.
Uns anos atrás o teclado mais realista na minha opinião era os Roland, mas a Yamaha tem se superado
Damn Tyros is amazing ..
I had the chance hear them both and bought Yamaha, pa3x is no league for Tyros!!
Yo he tenido la oportunidad de tocar en ambos, y ambos son estupendos, lo que pasa es que dependiendo de qué instrumentos, unos son más brillantes y contundentes que los otros.
Los strings verbigracia, mejores en el Tyros 4. Sin embargo todos los órganos drawbars se ven más contundentes en el Korg. Y así podríamos estar comparándolos sin fin...
¿Qué con cuál me quedaría? Con un TyrosKorg, es decir, con uno que reuniera lo mejor de ambos, porque los dos poseen muy buena instrumentación y sonido
Now that's a very malicious comment... I am a Tyros user, and I love it. I use the vocal fx and all the great features of the Tyros in my studio. Not just pressing the start /stop button...
I think the Pa3x has a great sound too... These are 2 major arranger keyboards.
So keep that in mind, and don't make stupid judgements, because you are only disgracing yourself...
And btw. the pa3x has a start and stop button what you can press too.
Tyros 4 for all of them......
the choirs on the Yamaha are to die for
Thank you for video! KORG and KORG again.
Now nothing can beat the Tyros 4! This video prooved it again! Yamaha reached the highest level and its not over! Not even yet! Another wide victory for Tyros! Everything on Tyros is a lot more realistic than any Korg, any Roland, and above all, everything its much more reliable! Everything inside can be edited! And my favourite, Tyros isn't limited like Korg only as an arranger: is also an extremely efficient synthesizer with all its parameters. There's nothing you can complain from the inside!
Personalmente posseggo una Korg PA3X. Comunque ho fatto ascoltare questa 'sfida' ad altri e il responso è stato sicuramente a favore di Korg. I suoni della Tyros sono assolutamente più piatti, più impastati. I suoni della PA sono brillanti e ben definiti, non c'è storia. GRANDE KORG SEI LA MIGLIORE!
Only reason I have Korg is because the abilty and the option for working with it, if you creat sounds and styles. You have good options then.. Otherwise I would go for Yamaha long time ago.. One thing to make notice of is that the soundcard/board on the yamaha is more richer/fater and gives more detalj to every sample.. And i would describe the korg muddy sounding and thin in the styles. To you guys that says yamaha sounds like studio.. Thats even better if it sounds like studio in live stage :)
T4 & T5 the best
Depends. About authentic sound, Ketron Event and Genos 2 fights hard, Ketron prefers real audio loops, Yamaha recreates audio loops.
I noticed that it is just the matter of taste, and how some one likes a sound better. While some people feel that Tyros has a better sound, some other feel that Korg has a better sound. I think all of it is because how an individual perceives and likes a sound.
I like Tyros......
the Tyros killed it.
korg is good but tyros is amazing!
50-50 split, they have there own unique character, however the Yamaha has too much Reverb on everything, I think the korg is dryer and more natural, and for that reason I would buy the Korg, Good well recorded demo though,,cheers Paul
Yamaha Tyros 4... absolutely ;)
KORG PA 3X, the best !!!!
The Korg’s advantage comes in its capability as a midi controller. However, Tyros is on another level as a stand-alone performing instrument.
My impressions. Piano: PA3X, Strings: PA3X, Organ: Tyros, Guitar: Tyros, Trumpet: Tyros, Sax: Tyros, Choir: PA3X.
la même sauf pour le piano ou je trouve le son du tyros plus à mon gout
this last style is best very nice on yamaha tyros 4 my chosing is tyros 4 and newer korg pax3
This demo says it all! No need of demos from their respective brands! This is a live comparison that simply shows who is better. And of course, Tyros 4 won again this contest.
When it comes down to it, and you need to fine tune stles with multiband compressors, multiband parametric eq's, diff distortion dsp's to any sound etc... pedals and expressions to certain sounds and others not, etc etc. yamaha technology gives you a handfull of tools that other arrangers can only dream of... even if some sounds here and there are not as great... usually for the lack of aggressiveness, but you can mess with the sounds a lot on yamaha
Tyros sounds so real. Korg sounds like a typical kb sound. thaks for the comparasion.
I am producer and compocitor and l'll definitely I stay wt yamaha tiros.REALISTIC SOUNDS!
I have both. T4 is great. Pa3x is great. I play the Korg more. A few bars or a few tinkle on the keys tell you nothing. It's the whole performance aspects of you and the board. Play with passion, any board will blow your mind.
Tyros 4 with no lil doubt is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Korg, better quality and realistic in term of sounds even the arrangement as I believe. I've been playing keyboard over 15 years and my number 1 recommendation is Yamaha, absolutely 1000%!!!
I'm becoming insane when i see this kinds of comment! Since when a style can save or cover the performance of a sound? Since when? Styles do not compensate for a bad sound! Just buy a Tyros, and you will never leave it! Not only the sounds are at the maximum level of realism, but its styles sound extremely professional, and not full as Korg's ones!
I agree with the majority of people here . The Yamaha has a more body/texture/realism to the sounds. The styles on the Korg are very outstanding indeed.
I liked the guitar in the Yamaha.But there's something about the KORG's keys!! it gives an additional touch to the sound.
I think the Korg MAY have a bit better pure drawbar organ, but I am really sold on the Tyros based on this demo. Wow, what a difference!
Tyros 4 is the best of both , Korg not even close to compare, I tried them both before buying and did not gessitate to buy the Tyros 4, sounds openly more real than Korg, you have to be death to not hear the diference!
I own both.Tyros 4 comes with it's own 2.1 speaker monitor which is better than Korg PAAS amplification system, optional monitor for Pa3X. But, try Pa3X with Roland CM-110 or CM-220 cube monitor, CM-110 is more than enough for your Pa3X. Compare to Tyros 4 sound I would say that they are equal or Pa3X slightly better.
Thats why Tyros is more experienced and a better choice. Not only this, but a lot of other things.
For piano, the winner is Korg. For the most part Yamaha is the winner. I liked the nylon string guitar and chorus om the Yamaha Tyros. I will call it a DRAW. But the real winner for $350 is the Casio CTK-7200.
Korg ! The PA3X is a computer/studio......you can change everything, the Quality can be much better if you know how to do that. In Korg is more inside. The pa3x has also superb articulation, i missed a lot in this clip. Korg need better speakers to hear the difference ;)
It depends on what U play and how U wanna play it. Both have great sounds, have their weakness too but I think that Yamaha sounds more realistic because of it allows U to play "realistically"! Listen, I set a gig for a scene last month. Several bands played. A 88 kb were pluged via MIDI to different KB so the player didn't know what KB was playing!! The fact is that to choose the sound that fit their envie most of the time Yamaha sounds were choosen!! It was my Tyros 4!! So....
Both are amazing in their own way. Tyros 4 has more polished sounds so you can use it "right out of the box" for live performances or studio sessions (I think Yamaha is targeting people with little or no experience when it comes to programming and making voices and styles). In my opinion, PA3X is for people who know their way with sound engineering. PA3X gives you more possibilities with sound tweaking. You can get them both to sound exactly the same (if you know what you're doing on PA3X).
FYI:
1. I didnt "try" to discuss about Korg and Yamaha.
2. I owned more than 3 Korg's before to own a Yamaha!
3. So then this is how i can judge between them!
One of my Korg's got stolen and i cried about it. But shortly after i discovered Tyros 1! Extraordinare! Almost at the same level from then! But now with Tyros 4 to which's improvements were raised dramatically at a huge level, why wouldn't Tyros be an insane and extremely good keyboard? I also liked our chat! Cheers!
Justin has a very fine jumper collection.
I am a big fan of korg brand but not the pa3x. I prefer the pa2x. The Tyros is the winner here 100%.
Plus the sounds of Tyros are much more realistic and accurate than PA3X's. Everybody knows that. And with Tyros you're not limited to anything! You can use it in any way you want! Music sequencer, recorder, vocals recorder/processor etc etc i dont konw.
Winner is TYROS!!!
more than sure. its already a trademark for tyros its level of realism. one does not simply compare tyros with another keyboard at the chapter "realism". this is madness.
Is there even a need to compare?? Korg does GREAT keyboards, but with Tyros Yamaha is in its own class in the ENTERTAINER section.
The natural sounds, the choir, the flexability and the phrasing of the music says it all...
I would even prefer a PSR950 over the Korg for this purpose...
For me the Yamaha knocks spots off the Korg. Allthoguh the Korg is nice, there's just something not quite convicing about it for me. Whereas with the Yamaha they just get the arrangements right, they sound so musical and the articulations are brilliant. That's why Yamaha are the kings of arranger keyboards. I've got Korg synths and they are fab and I much prefer Korg synths to Yamaha's anyday, but for an arranger it has to be a Yamaha.
Very hard. I just cant decide. They both great.
Tyros...hands down, the winner!
Thanks for this great demo (and the invested time to record it). It really gave me a little opportunity to compare the Korg with the Tyros. I am a happy Tyros 4 owner, and for so far this demo confirmed me that I've made the right choice :-). The only voice I liked more on the Korg was the Real Strings with a beautiful release and a nice voilin change I hear. The strings on the Tyros 4 are too short and I need to add the release time everytime I use them. Something to improve in de next Tyros!
Tyros much better, but korg styles not bad!
Hi everyone, i use korg and yamaha allways in parties and here is my defferent.
Korg is like Mac and Yamaha like Windows both of them has their own style.
Yamaha is the best one, Tyros 4 wins!!!
To my opinion, Tyros4 sounds better. Its sounds are more open, rich and clear. Korg sounds are somewhat more "narrow" and not so accurate. Though, both instruments are great! Thanks for the comparison.
o korg pareceu mais limpo .. pode ser a equalização e volume .. mas, são muito parecidos.
I said most pros, not all pros....:)) Its great to hear that you're using your board to its full capacity....and that's a point to note down.
Nope, sorry to retalk but you simply didn't heard a thing from Tyros 4. T4 is simply outstanding and unrivalled at this chapter of sound realism.
So...after all, which keyboard is better? My honest opinion is still Tyros, i let you decide. But for me, the MegaVoice technology, the SuperArticulation 1&2 technology, the realism of the sound that always was better than Korg's and its incorporated production software with all the parameters of a synth its enough to say that this is by far one of the biggest victory of Yamaha in front of Korg! Its just, like Tyros was aldready made to win all the battles in front of its enemies!
Por peso para transportar si hemos de tocar en algún evento, me quedaría con el Korg. El Tyros 4 es más engorroso de llevar de aquí para allá...
ninguno... los verdaderos músicos que tocan de verdad no se dejan llevar por estos lujos... no hace falta tanto para saber tocar... el buen músico aprende con lo poco que tiene... estos son ordenadores....
korg for the organs and i suppose its all about the feel of the keyboard as well
4:13 Most favorite part is choir!
Yes Tyros is more realistic❤
I have had three Korgs, a iX300, PA80, and my PA800. The PA800 has been the most unreliable of them. Power Supply just died tonight, LCD started dying several months ago, and is costing me a small fortune to replace. I like both Yamaha and Korg, but my next keyboard is a PA3X 76 key. Compared to Tyros 4, at least in this demo, the Korg sounds so much better. By the way, I used to sell Yamaha, and I still recommend them.
i am a yamaha guy bot the korg kronos and pa3x is the best synt and keyboard ever
Yamaha! I've never been disappointed by it :)
im not a keyboardist , im a drummer. the one on his left has a more realistic sound than the one on his right, just in my opinion as im hearing it.but to make a choice it will depend on how you will use it.
IN my opinion, Tyros4 is the best arranger for home musicians (like me). I actually own one and it's amazing. On the other side I owned a PA500 and I'm thinking about a PA600. I miss the Korg Drums, realband like styles and some unique sounds not found at Tyros. Since PA500 plays styles similarly to PA2X, I believe PA600 plays styles similarly to PA3-X (miss expensive features that I don't need). For PRO musicians, I think PA3-X is the right choice - FULLY customizable while Tyros is far behind
I`m one of KORG lovers, but this video makes me think twice. However we should know how the modulations and voice treats are done. Anyway, Tyros 4 is the winner in this video.
Great Comparison!
I overreacted, its true! Not than ANY Korg, but for the most of them is true. I also had the chance to play both Tyros 4 and Korg PA3x and i can say there are some differences. Korg has nice sounds and quality, extremely charmful styles, but its limited to what you see! The fact that Tyros doesnt have nice styles is not disadvantage for me. I dont record songs with styles anyway. But if you want to get PSRS950, you are limited to some things like fewer voices, DSPs and so on.
I'm surprized by all the Yamaha love... there are tons of subtle effects you can hear with the Korg that you can't with the Yamaha... the fret squeak on a fast transition with the nylon guitar... the roll-off of a trumpet. Plus the modifier joystick is way more accessible in the heat of action... instead of pressing a tiny button close to other tiny buttons... I love my Korg.
Of course Tyros is better. Especially in this video we can see the realism of the voices, much much more realistic that Korg's. But there's one thing i really really like about Korg. One single thing about voices and one function. First, Korg has one of the most likely drum kits ever. Tyros also got cool drum kits (especially RealDrums and StudioKit) but Korg has its drum kits more compressed! And the second and final, Korg has the "Groove Quantizer"! Tyros has only normal quantizer.
The Tyros strings sounded like synth strings but the Korg had more realistic sounding strings to me. Doesn't matter, I can't afford either!
***** I have both ;)
I love the TYROS 4.....
Some people like strong sounds. Personally, I would rate Korg above.
Overall tyros sounds best but the strings from the Korg PA are way better!
My money is on Korg Pa3X for better arranging functionality and Thumping Sound!! Moreover, if you want external loops in form of Styles...Go for Korg Pa3X
