OKay
time is now for you to decide if you really need an upgrade to Tyros 3
I would say if you have a tyros 2 and a motif Xs already.. hold your horses.
Because the its rumoured that the SA2 voices of the Tyros3 will be similar to your XS patches.. More over if you are very excited about this new release got to the show room and check it out yourself. It is definetly going to sound better than the tyros 2.
Everybody can see Yamaha used a lot of material and parts of the previous TY1 and TY2 models : knobs, lights etc.
Apparently inside the keyboard Yamaha added some parts that came originally from some existing pro mixers and synth models.
No doubt the SA2 voices are new and will sound great but there are only 5 available.
Hopefully the drawbars will bring what we may expect.
No doubt the TY3 will sound better than the TY1 and TY2.
But this new keyboard is rather an update than a real upgrade.
Maybe the TY3 will be the last of the Tyros dynasty and then ... a complete new keyboard in 2010

Picture of tyros 3
This is the first official photo of T3, used in Yamaha ad. Can't see
much detail, other than on right side. But I note:
The eight buttons on bottom right are Part Select/Play, not OTS as
previously thought. There are four OTS buttons to their left, and that
seems to be it, unless there is some doubling arrangement somewhere.
The display looks manual, as now: the locking catch looks the same.
The new section on left side of the actual display looks as if it
could help clarity, and the fonts look larger. There is a button in
the Voice section (bottom row) which seems to say Expansion??? The
sliders look to me about as long as the drawbar pads on the AR organs,
so not so bad - but that's a matter of choice.
The Pakefield unveiling is on 9th September, so look out for comments
shortly after (not from me this time!)
