Tyros3 : still has pathetically low 3.2MB Internal Flash Memory

In my interest in possibly upgrading to Tyros3 (from T2) I discovered reading the Tyros3 Owner's manual Yamaha's continued missing feature improvement: pathetically low (3.2MB) internal flash ROM memory. Yamaha's Music Finder is a potentially powerful feature allowing us to store and quickly call up one's entire song repetoire (many 100's of songs). MusicFinder only allows you to store a style and tempo for a given song, but on top of that, the style MUST be located in the keyboard's PRESET or USER areas only. Unfortunately USER area TOTAL memory is only 3.2 MB which means room for only 20-30 user styles. I've complained about this & made repeated requests (since Tyros1) for future models to include a LOT MORE internal flash memory but Yamaha doesn't seem to understand the importance of providing more than 3.2MB of internal flash memory, or allowing the Music Finder to link to styles in the HD or USB stick, or adding a MusicFinder feature to link its records to Registration Bank File, which would call up all settings stored in Reg such as: transpose settings, voices selection, split point, etc. I participated in a focus group and even had a one on one recorded video consulting session with Yamaha Corp expressing these concerns yet Yamaha Japan has continued to ignore these requrests. Certainly a dissapointment (for me). Scott

If you are gigging with the Tyros you may want more room for user styles. In fact the Korg PA2x is a MUCH better choice all around for gigging. For Home Recording I am all over the Tyros though. There are a lot of other choices,. Yamaha does things as they see fit for their market. They consider the Motif the gigging market and the Tyros the Home market.

20-30 Styles?? Scott, what kind of Styles are you putting in your Tyros? My style collection ranges in size from 20k to 85k. I won't argue with you about whether or not Yamaha could have or should have increased the user memory. I don't know what the reason for the limit is, or what the cost would've been to increase it. But, I just loaded up the T3 with Styles and I managed to fit 470 Styles in it before I ran out of memory. I imagine you've got other data in your User Memory beside styles. Most operations allow you to get and put data on the HD or the USB device, so maybe you need to rearrange some of your data. I know what a pain that is, but, let's figure out how to solve your problem without an increase in user memory, because I can't give you that. You know my # Scott, call me when you have a few minutes to talk. Steve Deming ------------------ Yamaha Customer Support www.yamaha.com/pacsupport714.522.9000

I am now pushing for an update to allow the Music Finder to access Styles from the harddrive. If I hear anything, you will be the first to know.
I hate to be a nit picker Steve but the way you stated the internal memory for the T3 i.e. = 3.2Mb, the actual internal memory of the T3 would be a total of = 400KB. I realize it was just an oversight on your part but can easily be misinterpreted by those who are knowledgeable of computer language terms and their meaning and read into it accordingly. The way it should be written is: 3.2MB i.e. Mega 'B' "Bytes" NOT 'b' Bits, as the way you wrote it. Again, sorry for being a nit picker but it is important that "everyone" really understand the "true" amount of the T3 internal memory instead of a typographically incorrect one, even though most of us here on the forum understood what you meant. Best, Mike
