The Tyros 4 is one hell of an amazing instrument. In my humble opinion, the
finest keyboard out. To your question. Many of us who own Yamaha keyboards
have begged Yamaha for greater accessibility only to have our pleas fall on
def ears. The only way you can get anywhere with the instrument is by the
assistance of friends and family as well as anybody else who you can get to
stand still long enough to read what's on the screen for you.
It's not just a matter of memorizing button pushes. Depending on the key
pressed anywhere on the keyboard menus change and depending on previous
settings those may or may not be the same. You can reset the instrument by
holding down the highest white key to the right wile turning on the keyboard
but that only returns you to factory settings and is kind of like using an
atomic bomb to kill a fly. Never the less, if the musician is interested in
playing music they find a way. There is an old adage that says if you want
something badly enough that your willing to do what ever it takes, you'll be
successful.
I have owned a Tyros 1 sense 2003 and love it. I've used it both
professionally and privately and my audiences have loved it and were amazed
that the sound it produces sounds so real.

Subject: QWS List Possibly off-topic - accessibility of keyboards
Hi there,
I'm not a regular contributor to the list, but wondering if anyone can
offer any thoughts on accessibility and usability of Yamaha Tyros 4 or
Motif arranger work station keyboards for blind users?
A client has enquired and I have no experience of using them.
Any thoughts and suggestions welcome.
With apologies to my good friends the moderators for venturing slightly
off-topic.
Cheers, James
