Anybody could tell me what happened with
the Yamaha 9000Pro OS2.04 update?
I have installed this update but today only
the version 2.03 is available at the Yamaha site or PKclub.

Armando

Yes your correct. I have known this happen before and after downloading what was stated to be Ver 2.03 to find it was Ver 2.04

Its just the normal example of Yamaha's Left Hand not knowing what the Right Hand is doing.
Unfortunately Yamaha do not have a Customer Support Email to ask about the above....unlike the excellent Email Support from Roland UK.

Graham

Thanks Graham.

But, really, it’s a very strange situation.

The date of OS2.04 files is 05/03/2003 and the OS2.03 is 08/10/2002.

You remember, at the instructions to update the OS2.03 to OS2.04 was written that the OS2.03 had problems in sequencer and it was out of use. Now, without any explanation, the Os2.04 don’t exist anymore.

What version you are using ?

Armando
(sorry my English)

The 9000Pro tells me it has Ver 2.04...but who knows whats really in there....HA!!!

Hi: Armando
I just went to the PKclub web site & you are right the Version 2.04 is gone again.
I sent an Email to Yamaha & we will see if they answer my question as to what
happened to Version 2.04 for the 9000 Pro.
I will let you know if I hear anything from them.
Stay tuned
Denny

Thank you, Denny.

I will stay tuned.

Armando

Hi: Armando, got this reply from Yamaha Customer Support Ca. USA, just a little
bit ago, thought I would let you know.
I will Email them again next week & see if I can find out more.
Denny

Greetings Dennis,

We are not aware of the reason why Japan pulled it. They will post it again as soon as possible. If needed, you can call us or email us next week when the marketing group gets back from NAMM and we may be able to give you a more definite answer. Thank You

Regards,

Customer Support

Thanks Denny.

Sorry the delay. I had a problem with my PC.

We are going wait for. Right?

Armando

Hi: Armando
Just got this from Yamaha Tech Support.
I guess we will have to wait & see if they
post it again.

Hi Dennis,

We have not heard from Yamaha Japan as to why Version 2.04 was removed. Most likely, a bug was found. As soon as the OS has been reworked, it will be posted at www.yamahapkclub.com.

If you have further questions, please call our Tech Support line.

Denny,

I'm really not sureif Yamaha US is knowing what they are talking about. Version 2.03 was definitly removed and discontinued because of the sampler bug. I don't belive, that they are putting that back, after having found a bug in 2.04.

I still see the issue as a web site maintenance problem of the Japanese web site. You can still download 2.04 using the direct link:

Ulrich

PS: On the German Yamaha site it's still 2.04 displayed as the actual version.

Hi: Ulrich
Thank You for the link.
I was also thinking maybe the Yamaha Web Page maintenance people goofed on this.
It don't make sense to put Version OS 2.03 back up when they know
there is a problem (bug) with it, they pulled it once & said
it was discontinued.
Denny

Hi, Ulrich

Thanks for the link.

Denny, I think you are right. Go see what happen.

Regards,
Armando

Another case of Yamaha Left Hand not knowing what the Right Hand is doing.
Its surprising that such a large company can be so incompetent.

Graham UK

WOW,,,,,,,,Yamaha PKclub has got the OS Upgrade Version OSPV 2.04
for the 9000 Pro, back on there site for download again.
It only took aprox. 6 weeks.
Still Enjoying the 9000 Pro
Denny

Denny. Thanks for the above notification. I'm running on 2.04 already, but I had better download this one again in the event they have made any changes.

Will we be back to Version 3.04 again next week...Ha!!!!

Graham UK

Graham,,,,,,
I think you meant to say, are we going to be back to Version 2.03
again next week. not " 3.04 ".
But it would not surprise me any, we sure have had a time with
the last upgrade. ( it's there, nope it's gone, oh it's back, where
did it go, here it is, nope it's gone, it's baaaaack. )
Denny

Denny. Yes, sorry I stand corrected with the OS numbers (they were for the PSR9K)
You see how this old man is getting confused.

We both may just have to buy the new korg PAX after all to just get away from Yamaha's nonsense.Ha!!!

Graham

Hi guys.

I think that anything has changed on OSPV 2.04. Right?

Regards,
Armando
