Gary..., you seriously can't think of any OS updates that added new features to a Korg or Roland arranger..??? Does Roland's G-70 version 2 sound familiar? That update was rather impressive. Last time I checked didn't Korg add a very cool feature via an OS upgrade that was a feature to compete with a guitar related feature found on Roland's G-70? Do you really need me to point these and other things out to you...? Do you only follow posts related to Yamaha?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't OS update version 1.50 or 1.51 (or something like that) that added the Guitar Mode to PA-800 owners. Wasn't this the new feature on the top PA model.... Yet Korg didn't want to leave PA-800 owners drooling, and gave this feature via an OS update. That's a pretty darn useful upgrade feature IMO. I think it's safe to say that many PA-800 owners saw that as a freakin sweet OS upgrade feature.

Last time I checked Korg is set to release a new OS update that's said to be huge: http://korgpa.com/pa_root/en/news/pa800_pa2x_v2.html


I don't understand why Yamaha owners get so upset when someone mentions Yamaha's lack of OS upgrades to add new features (not screen colors and modified fonts). It would seem that the general population would think OS upgrades are to fix bugs only.

The problem is there are some here who are too closed minded and seem to think that every time you see an OS update for a keyboard it means something's wrong and they keep having to fix it. Perhaps if Yamaha added OS updates that included new features in the way Korg does for example.., more Yamaha owners just might understand what an OS update is all about.., and that it's not because the system is choc-ful-of-bugs.
