Tyros 5 (SFF2) / Re: Tyros 5 registrations problem

« Last post by KurtAgain on Today at 02:52:19 PM »

Hi Dave,
This message is displayed because at some point you have changed one of the registrations in the registration bank currently loaded in the keyboard.

You now have the following options:

Yes:
The changed Registration Bank is saved. You can freely choose the storage location, i.e. you do not have to overwrite the unchanged registration bank.

No:
The changes are discarded.

Cancel:
You've already done that and you know what happens: The changes aren't saved, but you also can't load another registration bank until you choose Yes or No.

The safest option would be to choose Yes, but choose a new location or a changed file name.

The Next Yamaha Keyboard / Re: Why do we always want more?

« Last post by chesterkins on Today at 02:30:54 PM »

I like what somebody said earlier this year about their first impressions of their Genos 2
' They didn't play better BUT they sounded better'
I have had all the Tyros models and now a Genos  and the only one I regretted buying was the Tyros 3 as I thought it was half baked after the T2
So I agree with folks saying its a new toy and it revitalizes the interest without making you a better player
I have only had my Genos for 3 years so still very much in love with it
I expect i will be a Genos 2 owner in a couple of years too

I upgrade primarily for new/improved styles and voices.  Could order the Genos 2 today, but much prefer the size, weight, and built-in speakers of the SX 900.  Just waiting to see what Yamaha does with the SX series.

The development of these instruments is definitely at the plateau phase. So we will see less and less change model to model. Not everyone wants more functions anyway,  but there are always ways to make it do what it already does a little better, a little easier, …so that might drive upgrading.
Truthfully, I have little thirst to change what I have. The money is not the reason, it’s the hassle, the learning curve, I think that’s true for many people as they get older.

Tyros 5 (SFF2) / Tyros 5 registrations problem

« Last post by Dave PSR 970 on Today at 01:42:28 PM »

Hi to everyone,
can anyone help me with this problem?.
I have been using a usb with registrations on it for a couple of weeks with no problem, but now when I bring up the registrations and try to select on I get this on the screen
Current registration bank file changed.
Save changes? with the options of yes/no/cancel.
Why is this coming on screen and what should I do to be able to use the registrations as before.
As I am quite new to keyboards I don't want to press the wrong thing so I have just predded cancel and remove the usb.
Hope someone will be able to advise what to do.
Dave.

Well, let me see here now. I have a PSR-S950 I purchased new in 2013 and I passed on purchasing the Tyros 5, S970, Genos, S975, SX900 and the Genos 2.

Yep, there ain’t been anything worth opening up my wallet for yet.

I have played a lot of hours on this S950. So when the next 61 keyboard model hits the shelves, I’ll buy it. Unless this S950 dies on me first, then I will get the current SX900.

Of the 261 new named Genos 2 styles I heard while reworking them to play in my S950, I found only one that I think I can use parts of to make a style for the song “Jessie’s Girl”. That one isn’t a country song, but it’s for my sister in law.

I have made well over 400 custom songs styles covering the 1950s to 2018. I am passing on making styles for any song older than the 1980s, except for Elvis tunes. The PSR-S950 can perform as good as the Genos 2 for what songs I entertain folks with.

My real issue is with what the music industry is trying to pass off as COUNTRY MUSIC today. I hear nothing worth making a style to cover the songs they put out now a days.

Just another issue with becoming so MATURE, I guess.

Hi Bogdan

I have a PSR S970 and I have the same pleasure as yourself.

I really don´t see what people do with new keyboards that I can´t do in my PSR S970.

I need some efforts with preparing what I want (sometimes in a computer) but the end result is much more pleasure than to get it ready on a new keyboard.

And just to clarify: I use samples, I create my styles, or prepare new ones from MIDI files and the JOSOSOFT apps, I tweak the originals timbres if I needed, I create multi pad that I want. It´s just work, but this also gives me pleasure while doing. And buy a device that already does this or that wil take away that part of the pleasure.

I can do something that I never see here: I needed a style yhat should have 6 main parts , but there´s  only four in all these machine.

So I create 2 styles , play from Main A until Main D in the first style, then I changed to the second style while playing and use Main D and Main C with this other style , and the ENDING of the song was in the second style.

I know it´s very hard to do this , but it can be done and I think is part of pleasure  with music.






The only thing that get better and impossible to reproduce is the quality of the sound.

Genos2 / Re: New firmware 1.04 Genos2

« Last post by EileenL on Today at 12:59:20 PM »

There are not many updates because Genos2 is working as it should with no real faults. I believe style Dynamics are to be used on the fly whilst playing.
