PSR-A5000 after i upgrade to V1.10 i have some function problem . any help ?

[jeo662]

I will explain what happen from the beginning, step by step first when I bought the PSR-A5000 I download Yamaha expansion Manager , and also I download voice and style Expansion original from Yamaha like below
1-      Egypt 2 ppf
2-      Egypt 3 ppf
3-      Masri ppf
4-      Etc..
Inside those ppf there is voices, styles and also registration.
With the Firmware 1.0 the stock firmware, when  I call any of the registration from the expansion the Arabic scale was working without any problem .  I can turn it on or off during a tune or my play.

Step 2 I upgrade to v1.01 , all was working perfectly same like the original stock firmware .
Step 3 I upgrade to V1.10 here the problem starts when I call same registration as before  the Arabic scale physical button whn i press is not working at all erased , so I have to select scale from menu and readjust them to work back.
I also make full factory reset, I make hard reset by pushing the total right key and turn on the A5000 . but nothing solve the problem

Of course what I want is to return it back same as it was with V1.0 or V1.01 .
What I need to know if somebody face same problem like me , and how they solve it .
I don't have the older firmware V 1.01 or 1.00 so I don't know if possible to rollback or not possible.
I contact Yamaha but unfortunately they reply that it suppose to work like the older version V1.01 and that's it . they look like they don't know how to solve my problem .
I make video in youtube :

Appreciate if somebody can help and also can confirm if you call registration from Yamaha expansion and you push on any of the ¼ tone button it will work as suppose to be or not ?

Welcome to the PSR Tutorial Forum, jeo662!

According to the information on the A5000 Firmware Update site, the following changes were made from V1.01 to V1.10, among others:
"You can now memorize the Sub Scale settings to Registration Memory by checking "Scale Tune" when memorizing."
>>> https://uk.yamaha.com/en/support/updates/psr-a5000_firm.html

Perhaps this has something to do with the problem you describe. You could test by re-memorizing some registrations (with "Scale Tune" checked) and saving them as a new bank to see if it then works as desired.

Regarding firmware "rollback":

There is nothing on the update site that says that a firmware downgrade from V1.10 to an earlier version is not possible. So I assume it would work. Perhaps a forum member still has version 1.01. Otherwise you should be able to get it from Yamaha.

However, I would not rush into such a downgrade. Perhaps the change in V1.10 mentioned above means that a slightly different approach is required than before. In any case, the Registration Bank Format has changed. This means that registrations created under V1.10 will probably not work with the earlier versions.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

Thank you overover for your prompt reply,
To answer to your question, yes it work if I choose registration and I go to the menu choose manually in the screen  the scale I can adjust and rememorize on the registration .
But it was not working like that before the upgrade , it was much easier , the Arabic scale button was working without need to save it in the registration in advance to make it work  .
The idea to buy Arabic keyboard with Arabic physical scale button its because we need to keep it running any time in any circumstance we need it for ¼ tone . but the way they modified with the V1.10 its game changer not practical and not useful to play in the fly as it was before.

I wish one member have saved the old firmware 1.01 or 1.00 and can send it to me to try to solve it as it was before the last upgrade.

Thanks for your detailed feedback, jeo662!

Unfortunately, my knowledge is not sufficient to be able to help you further here. I hope that an experienced A5000 user who has successfully used V1.10 with Arabic scales will get in touch and can possibly give you some crucial tips.


Best regards,
Chris
