Hi,

My name is Steve Deming. I want to take a minute to provide some new information and to clear up some things about Tyros. Tyros OS updates will be posted at the PK Club site for download. The size of the OS is 16 MB, not 40MB. Also, the information about having the unit come back to Yamaha in the event of an OS update failure, for example if interrupted because of power loss, was wrong. The end user would simply have to start the OS update over.

I hope this is good news to all of you. If U.S. customers have additional questions, please feel free to contact Yamaha at (714) 522-9000 or email ycasupport@yamaha.com.

Thanks,

Thanks for the good news Steve. That will make it a whole lot simpler.

Best Regards,

Mike

Steve, you're going to get in trouble, being straight-forward and honest. Does Yamaha Japan know you're being a nice guy?
DonM

Don,

Yeah, Yamaha Japan sent me the info. They really want to be helpful.

Steve, of course I was joking. We are SO thankful for your participation here. Please hang around!

HI: Steve
Thank You for the info, I'm glad to see the Tyros works
better with the OS upgrade then what rumors were saying.
Also glad that if the upgrade is interrupted for some reason
that it does not have to be sent back to Yamaha.
I hope you will stay around the forum with us.
Thanks
Denny

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the info and welcome aboard!
I hope you will post and reply as often as your time allows.
I think it`s great , that we have a "Yamaha" rep. on-board. There`s a lot of fine people here that have "Yamaha" KB`s . I have a "Y2K" (PSR-2000). I realy like the sound but can anything be done about the "key`s" they just have a very bad feel and "action" to them. Other than that nice keyboard, O-BTW have you people ever thought about making your "instruction manuals" more "user freindly" ?
Anyway great to have you on the forum and again "Welcome to our family and the best corner of the web"

Steve,
You're a STUD!......Who Da' man.
This is in fact great news only surpassed by....Terry, your's has been shipped expect it in the next day or two.
jam on,
Terry

Jedi,
If you think tha Yammanuals are bad.....never read a Korg or Roland one.....Excedrin headache # 458. And the one for my Alesis Andromeda makes my brain hurt
Terry

Hi Terry,
Ya, I guess there not too bad , but some things reguarding the "Y2K" , like "Reg.Mem." could have been written better. But all-in-all I see your piont !!
O-BTW, Best of luck with your new KB
Take care , have fun !!!!

Hi Steve,

I'd remembered you advising me a few weeks earlier (during one of our telephone conversations) that though you would regularly monitor our arranger forum, that you weren't willing to actively post here. I'm ELATED to see that you obviously had a 'change of heart'. I'm also excited to hear that the Tyros OS is 16mg, not 40 mg, and that updating the OS (by the end user) is not risky as originally reported.

Both Yamaha Tyros and my home team San Francisco Giants RULE TONIGHT (16-4)!

Although I don't claim to speak for Steve D.

I don't think we should all get too excited or expect Steve to be posting in regularly here. I think he joined in just to provide us with breaking news and the o/s system hot button topic clarification. It would be nice and appreciated to have his presence here regularly....I wouldn't count on it though.
Terry

Yes Terry, I think you're correct.

Bob

I acknowledge & agree that Terry's probably correct as well, but it's still great to see Steve Deming take the lead on behalf of Yamaha USA Corp to become the FIRST arranger keyboard manufacterer representative to officially post on our forum. This is truly historic ! I have yet to see any other high level official from other arranger keyboard manufacters posting here, or even acknowledging that they regularly monitor our forum as Mr. Deming does. Korg, Roland, Technics, and GEM, are you listening?

This is just one more reason why I am so happy with my new PSR9000 I recently purchased. I have had good response from Yamaha helping me with my learning curve on this new type of OS, that is very different from those I was used to.
Thanks Yamaha

Steve Deming has been a friend and a big help to me when I need him at Yamaha for many years. We speak often about some of the posts we both read on this forum. I am glad he is taking an active roll on this forum. I also would like to remind many of you that Chris Anthony who programs and helps design Generalmusic products and software has on occasion also posted on both this forum and on the Generalmusic synthzone forum.
