I don't get it; 4 generations of keyboard (10 years) and no enhancements, fixes, or feature requests?

Who was it on this board that said Yamaha listens to their customers?

In addition, I proposed to them to go one important step further to make MusicFinder more useful & powerful, by simply adding a 'reg file' field, which would call up a Reg. file, of which would call up a vast number more keyboard performance settings (split point, lyrics text file, etc, the list is endless).

Perhaps DNJ would have far more influence with Yamaha than me.

Scott I can't believe that simply linking to a reg file is all that difficult for Yamaha programmers. That would really be helpful. What helped move to Korg ( aside of DNJs influence a few years ago) was Songbook in the Korg. I'm sure Al found that feature useful too. The improved MFD system was also one of the features that brought me back to Yamaha.

I'll have to agree..... but it's not just Yamaha, they all are at fault ..choosing a keyboard today of any kind is a balancing act with How much of a "WORKAROUND" the customer can withstand being the Star until the next model release !

As it stands now the MFD is NON EXSISTENT on my S910...I have NEVER used it at all on any of my Yamaha units because of this missing feature, useless for a singer......

What needs to happen is QUIT buying these things...make sure they know why and then things will change...as long as they sell the SHxx out of them why should they spend money making them better(things we want/need)?

My only guess is that since they listen MOSTLY to the home keyboard players...that's why things are not being updated/fixed. Evidently they are not askig for some of this stuff?

The MFD is great for learning songs and coming up with ideas.

It's best to use Registration memory to completely set up a song, however. You can not only select style and tempo, but transpose, mic settings, initial instrument, reverb, eq, the whole mix.

The MFD is great for seeking ideas but not for performing.

On a Yamaha keyboard, the registration system has everything one needs to develop a catalog of song material. Transpose on the MFD would be a nice thing, but I cannot see why it is essential.

I've never used the MFD when performing...it is handy for some things, but, registrations are, by far, the best way to do sets.

With so much storage available, you can have as many registrations as you need, and instantaneous access.

the entire MFD needs to be redesigned IMO.

So could you transpose a style and save it as style xyz and then link that to the MFD to get the result you want?
