Registration changes workflow

[EileenL]

When you buy any keyboard you expect to encounter a learning process and it is the same for a lot of other appliances we have. It only becomes simple to those of us who have spent time learning these things. They are not rocket science. Like anything, the more you do it the easier it becomes.
  As for moaning about how many button pushes it takes to do certain thing this only takes a fraction of a second and becomes second nature.
  When wanting to load a file you have always had to tell the keyboard which section you want to look in and that makes perfect sense. No good looking for a Multi Pad in a registration section.
  No one gets fun out of people struggling that is what this forum is for to help where we can.

True.......as it is today, and you are one of the people 'in the know'.
  But perfect will be when the system is more intuitive, the learning process is minimal.and forums like this are hardly needed. Like I say, if I was in Yamaha management that would be my number one development focus. Everything else is already good.
But in all honesty, the operating system is a bit archaic.

If I were in Yamaha management my target for arrangers would focus on a complete re-hash of the user interface

Mike, I don't think you would have many friends in Yamaha management.
I suspect there are a lot of Kaizen people there, and in Arranger development in particular the Small Improvement faction.

Please stay with us.

Kurt, I am very familiar with, and an admirer of the Japanese way, my company was in partnership with Mitsubishi for years. And I did make Japanese friends 
The Japanese kaizen methodology is mainly a manufacturing/quality thing. It does not often produce step change in product design. That still needs vision, combined with the clout to set corporate direction.

Mike, I share your opinion. I was just joking a bit in my post above. The famous book "Kaizen: The Key to Japan's Competitive Success" by Masaaki Imai has also been on my bookshelf for many years. And when I first saw the inside of a modern Japanese factory in the early 1990s, it opened my eyes.
