Hi Al et al:

As many of you already know, I've requested and repeatedly pushed for the "Yamaha Music Finder" to link to and call up a Registration Bank File ever since I first purchased my Yamaha Tyros 1 when it was first released. This has included not only having Steve Deming pass on my request to Yamaha Japan (yielding no response from them), but also bringing this up personally to both Martin Harris and Simon Inkley when meeting with them at Namm. Funny thing is that they both acknowledged the great benefit of linking the MFD to Registration settings to make MusicFinder a convenient one stop place to call up your entire song repertoire (by name in a single database) & automatically pull up all it'stored associated settings (transpose, split point, etc) in REG as well.

I certainly hope some day Yamaha Japan will finally see the light, but at this point (8+ years later ), seriously doubt it's going to happen anytime soon. I only hope Yamaha Japan will prove me wrong.
