S-950, ...MFD....can you add a Mp3 song from a USB thumb drive & link the Mp3 with Lyrics so when you select it from the MFD the lyrics come up also on the display..?

I don't know - I'll have to wait till tomorrow when I get the keyboard out of the van.

... that board is STILL out in the van in this weather ...

Don't have much of a choice, Tony - too many jobs. I did 6 this week, have 8 scheduled for next week, and 2 on Christmas day. Thanks goodness I only have a single for NYE and it's a day job for a change. Yeah, the night job paid a bundle, but for the first time in a decade I get to spend NYE with my wife.

I guess it is all what we believe, Gary ... I was one gig behind you this week, but took the KB and speakers in every day/night ... just didn't want to take the chance of any moisture building up taking it into a warm building after it was out all night ...
Plus, I thought you had joined others on this forum a while back saying that it was not a good idea to keep the board in a vehicle because of the weather ... but perhaps not ...
Until I get a heated garage - which will not be anytime soon - I will continue to take it in because if I don't something will happen whether it is caused by the weather or not ...

DONNY ... sorry to change the course of your thread, but I am sure Gary will get it back on track when he takes his kb in tomorrow ...

Tony, until I took the equipment down to South Florida on my boat, I didn't think it would survive the climate changes, but I was wrong - the keyboard, amp and other electronics fared much better than the keyboard stand and seat, both of which are made of welded steel. Nothing could be worse than the harshness of the marine environment - nothing. After six months at sea, I opened the keyboard and it was clean as a whistle. No corrosion anywhere. These keyboards are built to withstand much more than anyone could anticipate.

Since the trip, with a 7-day a week work schedule, the equipment rarely comes out of the van. And, I think because everything is in high-quality cases, that provides a bit of added protection.

Gary

ok Gary I await your assessment asap..

So's mine .... and it stays there most of the time.

Take my KB in the house every night after gigs..

Yup, me too.

I would bring it inside, but that just means I have to lug it back to the van the next afternoon to go to work. And, unlike most folks I live out in the sticks, my van is parked uphill from the house, about 160 feet away. So on snowy days and nights, when that brick sidewalk is slick as an ice-skating rink, the keyboard stays in the van. I really don't worry much about the cold weather having much of an effect - it's the hot weather that concerns me and throughout the summer, it comes indoors with me when I get home from the job.

Cheers,

Gary

DNJ, if I remember correctly, you just make a registration with the MP3 and text file both pulled up. Of course, check the appropriate boxes. I don't use MP3s in that manner so I never actually did it. It would be really easy to try though. Can't hurt anything.

OK Donny. I brought the keyboard, loaded an MP3 file on the USB drive along with the lyrics in .txt format, then saved it to a registration. Selected the registration and everything worked perfectly. Essentially, you press the registration button, then press the USB Audio Player button, press play, then press the lyrics button and the lyrics will be displayed on the screen. Nothing to it. Like all registrations, be sure to save the bank after saving the individual registrations.

Almost forgot, be sure to place check marks in the Audio and Text boxes.


Gary

Yeah, like I said.
