Hi, y'all. If you do not notice, and if you have not visited the www.yamaha.co.uk/xg website, Yamaha had discontinued Yamaha S-YXG50. So you will have to find an alternative. The Yamaha Tyros is a good one but it's VERY expensive. It's about $2,700. But there are some products that have XG but can only let you use up to 32-note polyphony (but you can scale up to 128 notes of polyphony for Yamaha S-YXG50!) and 32-note polyphony is not enough. And so, I don't like any kind of synth that can let you use up to 32-notes of polyphony. 64 is okay but I thought I could ask: who cares...? 128 notes of polyphony is the bare minimum if you don't want to run out of polyphony when creating your own music.

I don't see a reason for Yamaha to discontinue it but maybe because of the latency problem... However, S-YXG100 can let you adjust the latency slider while you can't with S-YXG50.

This is just to let you know.
