I am officially a Tyros owner from today. Thanks to everybody who provided various information about Tyros. I am convinced and am now a Tyros owner. Now I may have a million questions to ask from today on. Here are two questions:

1, what I should do next? (what should I buy and....)

2, Secondly, I have two computer speaker systems. Now I cannot connect either of them to the Tyros. I guess I need to buy a new set of stereo system, either the Tyros one or the Z2200. if I were to connect my computer speaker system to the Tyros, what should I do? (the systems are not cheap, they were all around $200 originally. I wish I could use them)

Thanks everybody, I am reading the manual now...

connect them to the line out you can buy adapters at radio shack, or connect them to the headphone jack I have done both with computer speakers.

Congratulations on your purchase...it was a good choice...use it well and enjoy...I just bought a psr3000..I now have the 2100 and the 3000 and am still learning what all the goodies are. This site and others like it with all of the knowledge that's passed on from the great members that share what they know without hesitation can only make learning easier....again, thanks to all...

Thank you, Mike. I was so stupid. i thought the Phone jack is for Microphone. Now I connected it to the phone jack. Wow, I got the fantastic stereo sound.

Hi, Tony. I read that you got the PSR 3000 from Jamie. Let us study together.

Tigerfool,

You are welcome! To add to Scott’s excellent suggestion, you should bookmark this link page too. Tons of resources that relate to your Tyros and PSR owners in general.

I hope you have figured out by now how to replace the factory .MFD file with the one that shows the correct Song Names.

Tapas

Thank you, Tapas. That is a page of encyclopedia!! Great.

About the original MFD, I have not tried it yet. I ordered a Hard Drive. It will arrive Thursday. After I install the hard drive, I will upload some songs. If there is any problem, I may post it here. Thanks.

Tigerfool,

A hard drive will be very useful. If you have problems locating the .mfd file, just send me an email and I will forward the 184KB .mfd file to you. You would need this modified file to see the correct Song names in your Music Finder Database rather than the jumbled ones.

Have fun with your new Tyros!!!

Tapas

Hi Tigerfool,

Download this zip file. You will have instant access to 3000 new Styles in the Yamaha Style format (.sty). You can play them to hear what they sound like by renaming the .sty extension to .mid

http://s88002311.onlinehome.us/pogingtwee.zip


This contains the entire collection from the PSR350/5450/620/730/740/8000/9000 and some Ketron and Korg Pa80 styles. There is also a MIDI folder that holds the factory demos of the CVP209, DXG500, PSR340/350/550/730/740.

The 50 MIDI piano solos in the CVP209FactoryDisk folder are spectacular.

Enjoy!

Tapas

P.S. I am going to check out the Yamaha CVP-307 on Christmas Eve. I can hardly wait.

Thank you, Tapas, I just got my hard drive today. I cannot seem to see the hard drive through my computer. I am playing with it. Once I am done, I will be eager to try them out.

---------
Edit: I finally got the hard drive worked by the trick: push the MFD button while powering up the Tyros.

Tapas, you've got mail.

[This message has been edited by tigerfool (edited 12-22-2004).]

Tiger,

Got your email and I have sent you the .mfd file with the correct song names.

Scott is the expert on the Tyros. He knows this instrument inside out. Perhaps Scott could give you a hand on how to replace the factory .mfd file with this one. You will get to see the actual song names in your Music Finder Database rather than the cryptic ones.

Tapas

1) Copy .mfd file to floppy diskette
2) Insert diskette into Tyros
3) Select: Menu>Function>Utility
4) Select: System Reset Tab
5) Select Music Finder "I" button
6) Select "FD" Tab
7) Select .mfd file on FD
8) You will then get a message that asks if you want to 'append' or 'replace' the existing .mfd file with the one on the FD. Select the 'replace' option.
9) Hit the EXIT button repeatedly until you get back to the MAIN DISPLAY screen window
10) Your new .mfd file should now appear when you select Music Finder (blue button)

PS: Don't worry about ever losing the original .MFD file that came with your Tyros. It is permanently stored on your Tyros and can be easily RESTORED anytime. I myself NEVER use the one included in the Tyros, or even the re-named one (with the correct names). I recommend that you START with the renamed .mfd file that Tapas sent you, and then begin adding & editing the database to reflect just the songs that you actually play. Read my other threads on this topic for more MFD details:
