Yamaha Keyboards - General / Re: Importing Yamaha SX900 to UK: Customs Duties and VAT?

« Last post by Amwilburn on Today at 01:34:31 AM »

Keep in mind that Yamaha UK may not provide a warranty on a self-imported device.

Kurt

They will. Most companies do this; they split up the global into national divisions, and then each national division (Yamaha Canada, US, UK) is responsible for their own product support. So if you get it for a lot less (I'm talking equivalent to a used price in the UK) then I guess it's worth taking the risk

From personal experience, working in music retail for a few decades now, I can tell you that everyone thinks they'll never have to use their warranty. Until they do, and they find out just how horribly expensive it can be. Anything can go, any brand, and the cost of repair is often *more* than buying a new unit, if not under warranty. While I'm not talking about Yamaha, there are 2 other major brands (which I won't name, since we sell one of them as well), where I've seen the *warranty* repair cost (due to shipping, etc) ended up being more than the cost of a new unit(!)

Buyer beware.

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: What Does the .- before a style mean

« Last post by dlepera on Today at 01:17:12 AM »

Hello Hammer.

  Can I ask for the benefit of those that are not really computer savvy to maybe put a few lines in this post on how you were able to find all the files. The delete is simple but identifying them on a Windows computer requires just a little knowledge of the search criteria.

  I know in my case unless you have a more simple way,  once the USB is selected in Windows Explorer in the upper right hand Search Window I would enter ".-*". That is everything I typed including the quotes and let it do it's search which can take some time depending on the amount of data on the USB.  Have no idea if there is such a simple way with a MAC.

PS. If you read my Post on my SX700 Search Issue, I stated:

""" I have not had time yet to install the old version firmware provided to me to see if I can break things, but I still point my finger on those ".-E*" files as being my cause which broke things every single time when I had them on my USB with my styles. Once I cleaned them up from everywhere, I am unable to break this search function. """

  So cleaning these files has very good benefit. At least in my case with the ".-E*" files.

            Thanks.   dom

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: What Does the .- before a style mean

Thanks to everyone who answered my question.  I found a good and simple
answer to the problem. I put the thumb drive in my Windows computer
and very easily was able to delete every file starting with the .- symbol.
When I put the thumb drive back in my PSR900 they were all gone.  The
entire process took about 10 minutes for over 2000 files.

Thanks,
Hammer

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: SX900 speakers fire toward audience vs older S models?

« Last post by J. Larry on Yesterday at 07:09:53 PM »

Yes, the onboard speakers of the SX 900 work well to self-monitor, while playing live.  Otherwise, an external speaker system seems a must.  I can’t recall ever using the SX 900 live without a set of powered monitors.

Yamaha Keyboards - General / Re: Free Chord Looper Banks for download

« Last post by pjd on Yesterday at 05:42:18 PM »

Is there a user manual for the Chord Looper Editor?

Is there a way (a program) to play the chord progressions on a PSR S970?

I found these old threads:

https://www.psrtutorial.com/forum/index.php?topic=59010.0
https://www.psrtutorial.com/forum/index.php?topic=57361.0

and Youtube video: https://youtu.be/VyMWVMtEw2U

The original developer of the Chord Looper PC program hasn't posted since 2021...

Take care -- pj

Genos2 / Re: Import Genos2 patch list into Cubase

« Last post by chony on Yesterday at 05:30:32 PM »

Thank you!

But I need to figure out how to do it on a Mac.

I opened the "hidden" Library, and spent a lot of time navigating around, but could not find the patch folder. Searching didn't bring it up either.

Any ideas on how to do it on a Mac?

EDIT:

Found it:

Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/Cubase XX/Scripts/Patchnames/inactive/Yamaha

Genos - General / Re: Tyros to Genos Files

« Last post by Fred Smith on Yesterday at 05:00:30 PM »

Can you explain HOW to get the registrations, user voices, from Tyros3 to Genos? Just upgraded and have been stuck trying to do this for weeks

Just copy them to a USB. And copy them in from there.

Cheers,
Fred
