Title: Disable the demo button on the Tyros 5
Post by: chirp on January 15, 2020, 01:41:03 AM: I was wondering if there is a way to disable the demo button on the Tyros 5. I have accidentally started the demo by placing a book on it. ::)
Thanks

Hi Carol,

the demo button of the Tyros5 can NOT be disabled via software.

A relatively easy way to prevent the button from accidentally pressing is to stick on a self adhesive pad of felt or cell rubber ("anti-slip pad"), where you previously cut out the outline of the demo button with a sharp knife.

Best regards,
Chris

It looks like Yamaha heard your request . . . Genos buried the demo button under the menu . . .
