[QUOTE="Jeff Foster, post: 146862, member: 9694"] Re: Yamaha TF5 with Rio boxes? This. I bought a TF3 for personal use because I like it and also see it bringing features that will likely be on the next generation of upper level consoles. The touch screen is well laid out and easy to operate once you have a few minutes to familiarize yourself with it. Between the touch screen with it's iPad like gestures and the Touch and Turn knob, I find myself able to make adjustments faster than I can on any other digital or analog console. To me, the lack of physical controls is not an issue, though it did raise an eyebrow when I first heard about the TF series. A lot of the limitations are clearly put in place because of Yamaha's positioning and that they don't want to cannibalize sales of their higher level consoles. However, I'm starting to wonder if the luke-warm reception of the consoles in the US may lead to them adding some of those features just to try to make up enough sales to meet their expectations. Though I have heard that it is a lot more popular overseas, so who knows. I continue to see many people comment about how bad the console is or that they don't like it, yet I also hear from people who, after giving it some real show time, love it and realize how good a console it actually is. I think a lot of that forward thinking, next gen stuff just was too soon for a lot of people. But it is a budget console... [/QUOTE]
