Hi at all,
please sign with like or "similia" the petition to ask to yamaha to update the PSR 970 firmware to give us more functions:
1) save, copy and past the audio styles in the format .aus on usb ;
2) read the audio styles from usb in the format .aus ;
3) Half bar fill-in and Mono legato function;
4) save live control on the registration memory.
There are no reasons why yamaha doesn't give us these functions. The only reason is to put in place a commercial practice manifestly unfair.
Italy AGCM (but the law is applicable in many EU countries):
As a result of consumer reports and a preliminary investigation carried out on its own initiative, the Authority has decided to initiate two separate proceedings for unfair commercial practices against the companies of the Samsung group and the Apple group operating in Italy. In particular, professionals set up a general commercial policy aimed at exploiting the shortcomings of some components in order to reduce the performance of their products over time and induce consumers to purchase new versions of the said products; they then proposed software updates to customers for their mobile phones without reporting the possible consequences of this update and without providing sufficient information in order to maintain an adequate level of performance of these devices, promoted and purchased for their specific and eminent technological features. Such conduct may be in breach of articles 20, 21, 22 and 24 of the Italian Consumer Code.
It could be apply by analogy.
Best regards,
