My wishes (many of which I have been requesting and posting for years) are as follows:

- PLEASE alphabetize the styles on all the style categories. The current random order is a pain when sifting through 5 or 6 pages of styles

- desperately need a SEARCH feature to quickly find styles, songs, etc

- allow all OTS to be customized and saved to the built in styles. change the deal of having to create copies of styles to do this

- more robust and useful Music Finder. As mentioned, look to Korg for how well it should be done.

- more assignable options to the sliders and the wheels. Everytthing should be assignable.

- a couple or 4 assignable buttons for you to customize per your choice

- map the tempo increase/decrease to the pedal. a way to more easily and smoothly vary the tempo during a song would go a long way in reducing the mechanical feel

- fix the sliders so they do not "jump" in and out when you first move them. makes using them frustrating and can produce huge unexpected variations in track volumes.

- increase user memory A LOT. Or ditch it all together if it isn't needed. It's just another tab to pass by when pushing buttons

- allow HD and or USB drive to be the first tab that is displayed when going to voices/files, etc. Always having to tab past internal, user, HD to get to USB takes too long.

- finally, get rid of all the menu choice buttons along the bottom of the screen and return to allowing all those be page buttons only. On some menus, you see only 2 or 3 pages and have to continually hit next over and over to get to a given page. All 8 buttons at the bottom of the screen should go to pages 1-8, 8-16, etc.

- put the on/off switch back on top

- please do something better than the existing speakers. they suck

and I also like the idea of a clock but it should be internal so that the styles and files would have the true date & time on them.

And one more thing...

PLEASE fix the annoying sound thump when switching from certain OTS settings. Any Yamaha player knows what I mean there area certain styles and OTS that when you change variations you will hear an annoying loud sound and not a smooth transition. I don't know the technical term, but some have suggested this results from the effects settings on var 1 changing abruptly on var 2. Whatever it is, fix it. Korg, Roland and Technics have managed to avoid this. If Yamaha can't fix this, DO NOT SET UP THE built in OTS on any style that will cause this.
