OPT editor Now available for the most powerful Yamaha home keyboard ever made. OPT (Open Plug-In Technology) was always intended to support not just our professional synthesisers such as the Motif, and our computer related products like the PLG (MSPS) card series, but indeed to support all Yamaha MIDI compatible products. The scope that OPT gives to anyone developing software as either a host or a client is vast. Whereas stand alone synth editors for example can run alongside your favourite sequencer, (Once you have managed to configure all of the MIDI ports and multiclient links which trust us, can get confusing!!), OPT removes all of this, and allows you to open up the full power of your synthesiser WITHIN your favourite sequencer or music application. The simple fact is that using OPT makes it as easy to use hardware musical instruments as virtual software ones, from low cost PLG cards right the way up to our flagship products...OPT encompasses all. Enter Tyros... Yamaha's TYROS, a breakthrough in sound quality for a digital keyboard features one of the most impressive display systems on a keyboard ever developed. However with many people now creating music on their computer, Yamaha saw the need to integrate the power of Tyros with some of the most popular sequencer and audio products on the market today... Again OPT (Open Plug-In Technology) came to the rescue... For more information on OPT visit http://www.yamahasynth.com/pro/opt/index.html or better still, try one at your local Yamaha dealer. To see it and hear it is to believe it...
