I was surprized that I have not seen this mentioned here on SZ yet. Open Text was developed by Michael Bedesem and allows Yamaha owners to associate the pdf song file with a Registration Memory button! How cool is that?

Michael is one outstanding member of the Yamaha community to say the least.

That is awesome Scott. I guess I need to hang out on PSRTutorial more often. This is really handy if you are using a Laptop to display sheet music.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Scott, nice find, in all my visits to Joe's site that's one I missed.

Thanks for posting that.

Seems cool... what's the setup procedure? Has anyone tried it?

I suppose I'll just give it a go.

I agree Michael is a unique and valuable individual who puts forth a ton of his time in order that we may gain free programs to help with the overall enjoyment of Yamaha keyboards.

Larry et al - agreed! Michael has done some terrific programming for us Yammie owners. He is indeed a very valuable resource to our community! Neat feature for sure! I think I have PDF versions of a ton of fake books! KEWL! Let us know how it works for you!

ScottL. Thanks for the link to Michael Bedesem's "OpenText". Great find indeed.

Michael Bedesem's a wonderful PC programming expert who has always been there for our Yamaha arranger keyboard community, continually developing time saving Yam arranger software utilities, and I'm ever grateful to him. Just last week I discovered a bug in his MusicFinder View program, emailed him about it, and before I could blink an eye, he was onto it and had an update fix back to me within 24 hrs. Amazing!

Is there any possibility now to possibly call up PDF Leadsheets on Apple iPad from the Yamaha Keyboard Registration Buttons (1-8) similar to the way 'OpenText' does?
As Miden disccussed in this thread as the Apple iPad now supports midi, I'm wondering now if an app similar to Michael Bedesem's "OpenText" could be developed to get Yamaha Regist buttons (1-8) to trigger & call up PDF lead sheet files on the Apple iPad, similar to the way you can with the Korg PA3X's Songbook to call up (via Midi & the Apple app UnRealBook) PDF lead sheets on the iPad.
What do you guys think? - ScottY
