In Europe the Tyros 5 MFD is now available to owners but they must call Yamaha and have it sent to them - via email I suspect. Question is - when will the file be available to the US market and why doesn't Yamaha simply put the file on their download page????

What's MFD??? lol

Mirza, the MFD is an abbreviation for Music Finder Directory, which essentially is a listing of songs in a directory that can be accessed with a single button push. When a song is selected, the keyboard automatically selects an appropriate style file, tempo, intro and variation for that particular song. Each entry is basically a miniature registration with limited storage capabilities.

Hope this helps,

Gary

Thanks Gary.
I know about registrations in Yamaha.I played for a long time 9000pro.I just didn't know what mfd stands for.

I've never learned much about the MFD on my good old Tyros 2. Am I missing out on something usefull?

Yes. Paul, that MFD is a fantastic tool and I use it religiously. I have customized my MFD several times over the years, and if you wish I can email you my latest version. It's easy to convert to the T2 and installs in seconds.

Let me know,

Gary

Yes Gary, I'd love to check that out!

Paul, you have mail.
