Yamaha Keyboards - General / Re Style choice to Song choice

« Last post by Mike Brotherton on May 18, 2024, 04:26:38 PM »

A subject I always return to and read through the posts looking if there are any new comments to a subject of interest to me.  I have previously posted that I do not generally perform in public but occasionally play for friends or family and my concern is what gig list do I compile?  Or, my process of selection.  I have through my 6 Busker Books, Easy play books and sheet music downloaded off the internet at least a 1.000 to choose from.  The sheet music purchases are I have heard a song, thought, I like that, down loaded it.  The Busker Books is random.  I select a different book each day, open it at any page, start playing, if I like it give it a tick for more practice especially if my wife say that’s nice play it again.  As I said previously, I have a lot of music with some ticks on them.
That’s a lot of sorting.  To assist I have set up a spread sheet contains all my music with headings, song name book sheet ref, genre, but the essential heading, what I consider is its position in the gig list. How should I make my selection?   I attend a monthly keyboard club performance with top keyboard performers playing so get plenty ideas.  Most do sessions of  9 songs (9 x 3mins) then a break.  No 1 is always a resounding opener usually from a show or march. No 9 a song that impresses the audience of their skill.  No 2 a song that calms one down from the opener. No 3 a song that demonstrates what their instrument can do. No 4 a foot tapper or a sing along. No 5 a Latin No. No 6 a 60’s song.  No 7 a request. Finally No 8, a selection from the shows.
The Question is How would you or how do you select your 9 or is it 10 or 8?

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Full factory reset - Will I lose these packs?

« Last post by Andyfr on May 18, 2024, 04:24:51 PM »

Hi

I recently bought a used SX700, the original owner bought it from a company who added loads of software and packs for an additional cost. I would like to do a factory reset so that I can get it back to how it would be out of the box but if I do will I lose the packs and software?

The limit of files/folder is documented.

It was 250 fir Tyros 1, 500 for T2-5, and 2500 for Genos. You will find hundreds of posts in this forum recommending people limit the number of files in their folders.

Cheers,

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: Chord name that I could not figure out

« Last post by BogdanH on May 18, 2024, 02:59:16 PM »

That asterisk means, that this is unfinished chord and that additional note is needed to define the chord. For example, we see "G*" if we press G-A-B or G-G#-Bb notes (at the same time, of course). If we additionally press some other key, we will get actual chord.
In short: G* is not a chord -asterisk is telling us, that we can get a chord by using these three notes if we additionally press another key. By doing that we will usually get some weird chord 

The opposite is the case if we play i.e. G-G#-A notes. In this case we will see "Cancel" -which means, that we can not define a chord by using these three notes.
Btw. If style is running and we press chords that show "Cancel", then channels 11-16 (Bass-Phr2) will be muted until we press proper chord again.

At least that's how I understand all that.

Tyros 5 (SFF2) / Re: Packs for T5

« Last post by amateur on May 18, 2024, 02:19:25 PM »

Adrian,

There is another way to check the presence of an Expansion Module (or other memory), without using a screwdriver.
I found this method in the Service Manual of the Tyros-5.
It goes like this:

1. TYROS OFF
2. Hold buttons F an J (near the screen) pressed down and switch the TYROS ON.
3. When the "Device Information Screen" appears, stop pressing the buttons.
4. When this screen shows " : Expansion module" a module is present.
5. Press key B (near the screen): "The Expansion Module Information-screen" appears.
6. From here you could get some more info, using the START/STOP-button and the BREAK-button, located in the STYLE
   CONTROL-row.
7. Follow the screen for more info and the end result "OK" or "NG" (not good).

Succes!

Hi Denn,
Yes, cqi is a quick install file. It can only be used as an upgrade/supplement of the installed material in the Expansion memory. This means, CPI/PPI must be installed first, and CQI/PQI only after that.
Watch this video, turn on English subtitles.
