If you have downloaded the "corrected" Music Finder database,
or if you have an entirely different Music Finder database that
you would like to use, the next step is to load it into your keyboard.
This lesson will explain how to load an external Music Finder database
into your PSR.
Loading the Corrected Database
So, the first thing we are going to do is to REPLACE
the initial Music Finder database with the corrected version.
I mentioned earlier that the Music Finder database is really just
a file. In fact, the corrected "file" you downloaded represents
a complete database with 450 records (in the PSR-2000 version).
Fortunately, Yamaha has provided users with the ability to save
and load Music Finder databases. That means you can
have many Music Finder databases like you have many external styles
you may be using with your keyboard. You can replace the currently
installed database with a new one any time you want.
I use the them "replace" but you should be
aware that the version of the database with the incorrect song titles
is built into the permanent memory of the keyboard. Just like the
internal styles and voices, you can never DELETE that internal Music
Finder database. No matter what you do with the Music Finder, you
can always go back and load the original Music Finder database that
came with your keyboard. So, if you are nervous about replacing
your database, don't worry. You can not hurt the original.
Although you can many different Music Finder Databases
(MFDs), right now, we aren't going to worry about "many."
We're just going to install one new file.
Call Up the FUNCTION Menu
|
|
The process starts by calling up the
FUNCTION menu. On the left side of the Main Screen you
will see the FUNCTION button. Press that button to bring
up the Function Menu. The Music Finder management tools
are located in the UTILITY folder along with other utilities
provided by Yamaha. So, we will be going to the UTILITY menus.
Press the [I] button to go to the UTILITY SCREEN.

The UTILITY - SYSTEM
RESET Screen
 The
UTILITY screen has five different tabs. When you first bring
it up, you will be looking at the CONFIG1 tab. The Utility
screen that we need to use is the SYSTEM RESET screen. Press
the [NEXT] button FOUR times to move through the CONFIG 2, DISK,
and OWNER tabs and get to the SYSTEM RESET tab options. That
screen is shown here.
On the left side of the screen
you can perform some Factory Resets on various parts of your
system. We ARE NOT going to do that.
On the right side of the screen,
there are four options available listed under "OPEN/SAVE SYSTEM
FILES."
The fourth option is MUSIC
FINDER. That is the option you want. Press the [I]
button to launch the MUSIC FINDER File screen. I have not
duplicated that screen here. It looks like any other file
screen you have seen on your PSR-2000. There are three tabs,
one for PRESET, one for USER, and one for FLOPPY DISK. The
PRESET tab will have one entry. All you will be able to see
of the name is, "MusicFinderPr~". The full name is "MusicFinderPreset."
The Music Finder database that comes with your PSR-2000 is in the
PRESET area just like the internal styles and main voices are in
their own PRESET areas. You can not alter (or delete) anything
in the PRESET area. That Music Finder database will always
be there. That means you don't have to worry about replacing
it. If you want it back, you would simply go to this screen
and load it.
If you followed the instructions
from the previous lesson and put the corrected Music Finder database
file on a floppy disk, put that disk into your PSR-2000. Now,
press the [NEXT] button a couple of times to go to the FLOPPY DISK
tab. If you only have one ".mfd" file on that disk, you will
see that file on your screen. The name will be Orig2000Fixed. The
name actually doesn't matter; you could name a Music Finder database
file anything you want, although the file type has to remain ".mfd".
If it is the only mfd file, it will be right next to the [A] button.
Press the [A] button to select this file.
A message window pops up asking
you whether you want to:
- REPLACE the current Music Finder
database with the one you selected [G],
- APPEND your selected file to the
Music Finder database currently in memory [H], or
- CANCEL the whole operation [I].
We definitely want to REPLACE the database
with the incorrect song titles and put this new one in its place.
Press [G] to select the REPLACE option. That's it. Your
new database is now in place. Press the [EXIT] button as many
times as you need to get back to the MAIN Screen. If you press
the Music Finder button now, you will see that the song names are
all correct.
Practice Loading and Saving Your Music
Finder Database
If you want to practice this operation,
you can always repeat it and put the Preset database back into the
Music Finder. If you want to experiment with the system, edit
records, or try to add new records, or external styles, you might
consider copying the corrected version of the Music Finder
database from the FLOPPY DISK area and pasting it to the
USER area of the Music Finder file screen. This way you can
mess up that database any way you want and then simply reload the
corrected version from the USER area.
