How can I select Registration memory using MSB and LSB (PSR S770)

Hello,
How to change the registration memory using MSB and LSB midi commands from an external midi application?
Perhaps there are also sy*** commands like this?

Welcome to the PSR Tutorial Forum, MArcinek!

On Tyros2 - 5 and on PSR-S975/775 you can change Registrations via MIDI using Bank Select MSB/LSB/PRG messages. On Genos and PSR-SX models there are additional Sy*** for this.

But unfortunately, on PSR-S models up to S770/970, the MSB/LSB/PRG method does NOT work. Maybe there are Sy*** commands for changing Registrations on these older models, but these are not documented by Yamaha.

As far as I know, the (now discontinued) Yamaha "Repertoire Finder" iOS app could change the current content of the Registration Memory via MIDI/Sx*** also on those older models, but, as i said, the corresponding commands are obviously undocumented so far.

Hi Etienne,

Do you think that the Sy*** described in the thread you linked will work with the PSR-S770?

The current, bidirectional Sy*** method for switching Registrations was first introduced with the Genos, and to my knowledge only works on Genos, PSR-SX models, and PSR-A5000. The method I mentioned with Bank Select MSB/LSB/PRG works, as I said, with Tyros2 - 5, and Yamaha implemented this "finally" on PSR-S975/775. But it didn't work with earlier PSR-S models.

However, this "old" method (with MSB/LSB/PRG) is very cumbersome anyway, since the Registration Bank files must be brought into a fixed order using a number at the beginning of the file name, and only the Registrations in the folder currently selected on the keyboard can be used can switch via MIDI. In addition, PSR-S and Tyros models do not send usable Sy*** when loading a Registration Bank and when pressing the Registration buttons, so that you have to work with the "famous" dummy MIDI files to switch external devices via Registrations.

Oeps, my mistake.
I did not pay attention it was about a Psr s770.

No problem Etienne!

Maybe someone will find out the Sy*** to change Registrations for the older PSR (and Tyros) models in the future.

With the aforementioned app "Repertoire Finder" it was obviously possible to send complete Registration Banks from the iPad directly into the Registration Memory of the connected keyboard via Sy***.
