hey everyone. i was just wondering if there is any way to clear the music finder file. i want to have my songlist there, and i'd rathere not have to keep them in favorites. i do not need all those presets. also, is there anyway to see how much space is left in the user memory? and what does the break button do? and lastly, does anyone know where i can get some good dance/rock/pop beats? thanks so much for your time. zack

Hi Zack,
Which PSR keyboard do you own? Yes, you can delete, edit, or create a new Music Finder file from scratch. If you own the PSR2000 or PSR1000, I recommend you use Fabien's excellent free Windows PC utility program (MusicFinder Editor 2.7) to do this rather than attempting this on the the PSR2000 keyboard itself (as it's painfully SLOW to perform on the keyboard itself). With the Music Finder Editor you can quickly select which songs you want included in the Favorites as well as make customized search fields.

Fabien's Music Finder Editor version 2.7 does requires that you have 'Microsoft Excel' installed on your computer though:

HOpe this helps, - Scott

hey. thanks for the reply. i have the 1000. i do have excel, and and just downloaded the program. thanks. i'll check it out. but how do you load the music finder file? its not listed in the music finder dialog like it is in the voice and style dialog! thanks. zack

If your PSR1000 Music Finder features works like the PSR2000 (which I think it does):

Copy the file (xxx.mfd) to a floppy disk (IBM formatted) and then insert the floppy into your PSR1000.

1.select FUNCTION button
2.select "I" (utility)
3.press 'next' until "SYSTEM RESET"
4.press "I" again, for "MUSIC FINDER"
5.press 'next' until "FLOPPY DISK"
6.press ENTER
7.choose:
REPLACE (replaces the current titles with the originals)
or
APPEND ( adds the originals to the current titles)

All of this can easily be reverted back to the factory settings via: System Restore.

Good luck, - Scott

Hello

Scott, I suppose this Music Finder program will work including the User Styles? What about using styles from disks? Will that work? If so I suppose one could even show which disk it was on. Also, it seems to me I read someplace that this Music Finder will store something like 2500 settings. Is that correct?

Thanx

The Music Finder can only locate styles in the PSR2000's internal 'preset' & 'user' areas. It unfortunately cannot find styles located on floppy.

Hello

Scott, thanks for your knowledgeable answers.
Then I guess I will continue with what I have started with the style disks: Since there are so many styles to keep track of I am finding, that a song title can really simplify this matter. I am leaving the title or an abbreviated title of the style along with a song title on my favorites disk. This way I can still choose another similar song. As long as I know what kind of song I'm set to go.

Scott

hi again. you can always just save those styles to your user memory and then use the MF to point to it there. it makes sense not to allow it to point it to a disk, cause what happens if you dont have that disk in? it gets messed up. but the MF can store 500 settings on the 1000 and i think 600 on the 2000. zack

Hello

Any idea approximately how many user styles can be saved? I think it depends on how much information is stored. Same with how many banks of 8 preset registrations can be stored? Will the number of registation banks used effect how many user styles can be saved?

Scott

Hi Zack

BTW I understand about the user styles its just that I've got probably a couple hundred disks right now of styles downloaded off the internet.
