Tyros2 MusicFinder: Very Disappointing Discovery ! - 10/29/05 01:00 PM
As you all know, I utilize the Tyros "MusicFinder" as a convenient central database to store & quickly call up all songs (+800) in my song performance repetoire. I of course will utilize custom regs for some specially arranged songs, but the simplicity and faster song search/loading time MusicFinder affords makes it far better for 'on the fly' performance.
Regretably, on Tyros1, MusicFinder was limited to only accessing (linking) to preset & custom styles located in Tyros PRESET & USER memory. Because USER memory space is so severely limited (3.2 MB), the need to link to custom styles stored on USB Memory Stick and/or Tyros HD was a feature many of us were hoping for with Tyros2. I was even assured that this was indeed added with Tyros2, but after having had 2 different Tyros2 owners perform this test on their Tyros2, it appears that this was not added with Tyros2 afterall. This comes as a BIG disaspointment, especially considering the fact that I was informed otherwise. I only hope Yamaha will look into this immediately. Thank you. - Scott
