Hi Al, I concur with you that Yamaha needs to implement automatic loading of a user 'default' registration file. This limitation is not only on the Tyros, but I believe on all Yamaha PSR arranger keyboards as well. This subject has raised here several times, and I myself have requested Yamaha to implement this several times in the past.

In the meantime, I've just developed the habit of automaticallly remembering to manually load my 'default' registration file (with my preferred KB settings) manually EVERYTIME I power up the keyboard.

Still, I HOPE that Steve Deming (Asst Manager, Yamaha USA Customer Service) is reading this thread and will do EVERYTHING he can to urge the Yamaha Product Development team to get this implemented on the Tyros: via Flash ROM Update.

Btw: Yamaha didn't lie to us THIS time . . . the Tyros is INDEED Flash ROM-able. I just downloaded & upgraded my Tyros from OS version 1.00 to 1.10.
