If you are a registered member of the PSR Tutorial Forum, you can post messages and, if you want, attach one or more files to your message. Also, as a member, you can see these attached files and download them to your own computer. Visitors to the site can see all the messages, but they can not post messages and they can not see or download the attached files.
Forum members routinely try and help each other out. If someone is looking for an appropriate style for some song, other members will not only suggest styles, but often upload the style(s) they think would work. Members often share their midi files or mp3 files by uploading them. Members who may have discovered a good source of files, may upload a whole batch of styles, or multipads, or voices. Often a picture can be worth a thousand words and many members upload pictures to share with other forum members. A wide variety of files get uploaded including not only style and midi files, but also text files, Excel and Word documents, music finder databases, voices, and more.
You can search through the forum and find many of these gems since, at least for now, they are all still there, available for downloading. But many messages are added every day, and as messages scroll into the past, it becomes increasingly difficult to find that one particular file you KNOW is there somewhere! You can use the online search function, and that can help, but unless you know the right keywords to use to find your targeted message, it can still be difficult to locate what you are looking for.
These forum attachment CD-ROMs are just what you need if you have not been able to keep up with all the messages and downloads that you may be interested in. The first CD-ROM holds all of the files that were uploaded to the forum from the time we started accepting uploads in mid-2005 through the end of 2007. The second CD-ROM holds the files uploaded in calendar year 2008. Over time, we have been able to provide more space for file attachments and have been able to allow larger size files. As a result, the uploads from 2008 were enough to fill up that CD-ROM. The third CD covers the files uploaded in 2009. The policy of having large MP3s uploaded to free web sites and providing a link in the forum messages was in full swing. Almost 500 MP3s were referenced this way. This CD includes only a healthy sample of those external songs.
Check out the information for each CD-ROM to see what may be included. There are so many files involved, literally thousands, that I have not tried to include the index files in the descriptions provided here, but they are available on the CD-ROMs. The indexes included are very helpful in finding particular files and even being able to link right back to the original message thread in which the attachment appeared. For some users, these CD-ROMs will make a great addition to their Yamaha resource library.
Note that while each CD can be ordered separately, there is a "Special" in force providing a substantial discount on all four attachment CDs. Check the Order CDs page.
