I got some new information today regarding the upgrade for the 9000 series. Yamaha now has realized that to do the song chain play function, it would require a hardware upgrade, not just a software upgrade. The decision has not been finalized as to whether this will be available or not. There could be a data base and style update only or both the software and hardware update. There are many questions such as who would pay for the hardware update. I suggested that it would be wonderful if Yamaha could do this but at who's expense? This was not a feature promised and could cost a lot of money to implement. With a new keyboard to replace the 9000 scheduled to come out sometime next year, it is a hard decision for Yamaha to have to make. We will have to see what they decide to do.
