PSR S975

Another feature in the 975, pointed out by a friend, is that you can now use MIDI to recall (call up) Registrations on the PSR-S975.  I guess it works as it does on Tyros/Genos.  I use this feature a LOT on my T5 and Genos, so I'm glad Yamaha has added it to the PSR line.  Another friend hopes they'll add it to the CVP line.

It's seen in the Data List, on a page where in small print it says "Regist". or similar, which is how it appears for Tyros/Genos data list.  This means you can send MIDI commands to the 975 to tell it to bring up a specific Registration for you.  Works great for me by tying the MIDI data to each PDF file in the unrealBook app on iPad.  I call up a song on the iPad, and my keyboard is instantly ready (Set up) for me to play that song.

Genos has been the fastest selling keyboard so far. I don't expect the next S series will be out for at least another eighteen months though.
