A new Regi-Stick, ‘Regi-Stick RS3’ has been created exclusively for the Tyros3 by Yamaha demonstrator Richard Bower.
No more conversion...
Until now, Tyros3 owners have had to be content with a ‘converted’ version of the Tyros2 Regi-Stick Plus which, although it was made to work with Tyros3, used only styles, sounds and effects from the earlier model. From now on Regi-Stick RS3 effectively replaces the Regi-Stick Plus for Tyros3 owners. Regi-Stick Plus is, however, still the best product for owners of Tyros2.
About Regi-Stick RS3...
The menu itself is much the same as that used in the Tyros2 Regi-Stick Plus, but the registrations contained on Regi-Stick RS3 have been completely re-structured to make full use the enhanced voices, styles, and effects that are only to be found on Tyros3.
What's been kept...
The format of Melody Maker remains the same - and this section provides a range of voices that can be used with any accompaniment style.
- Registration Menu:
The settings on Regi-Stick RS3 are based, as before, on the popular registration themes used in the highly successful Regi-Stick Plus (and, long before that, in the Registration Menu of the AR Series Electone). The original 320 registrations, however, have all been renewed, and expanded - using as many of the new features, sounds and styles as possible.
- Melody Maker:
What's new for Regi-Stick RS3...?
Registration Menu: Whilst the registration themes of the original Regi-Stick Plus have been retained, the RS3 settings sound fresher, cleaner, and more musical due to the new voicing and higher quality effects. Eighty all-new registrations utilise lots of the new styles that are only available on Tyros3 - including the acclaimed ‘Ethereal Movie’ - and the settings make full use of the ‘Free Play’ versatility of the style that enables the player to create a big orchestral effect without the accompaniment of a rhythmic beat.
New Registration Banks include...
- Ballad 3(A collection of modern popular ballads)
- Ballroom Sequence (New ballroom settings in strict tempo)

- Melody Maker:
The voices in the Melody Maker section have been completely refreshed and every setting uses new Tyros3 voicing along with new, high-quality, effects such as reverb, delay, rotor speaker and many others that are exclusive to the Tyros3. - Tyros with pedals
For Tyros3 players who use MIDI bass pedals, a whole new range of additional voices has been added to Regi-Stick3. The original ‘Pedal 10’ set has been re-worked to give a fuller, more rounded, bass sound and five new bass voices have been added to the collection. - Custom Left-hand voices
Five ‘Combination’ voices are also included for use in the Left voice section. These new sounds are multi-layered - thus overcoming the limitation of Tyros3’s single left-hand voice - and they provide ready mixed combinations of strings, horns, choirs and organ sounds to give the warm, full sound experienced when playing an expensive organ.
Note: Regi-Stick software is now supplied on Yamaha Club branded USB 'key' style stick.
