I downloaded the MIDIPlayer from the link below but it only shows up to Tyros 4. Are there any files that I can update to leverage for Tyros 5 or Genos. I currently have a Genos keyboard. would really appreciate your wonderful suggestion. thank you.

I don't think Michael will be adding any more instruments   You can use T5 and Genos styles by adding them to your MidiPlayer folder in the program   and to be honest there is not enough difference between the T4 and T5  to affect the results with the Midiplayer  You can contact Michael via Jorgen Sorensons site and he may be able to advise you more

Michael has stopped programming end 2017.
I took over the programming for MixMaster, PadMaker-Midi, PadMaker-Style and OpenText, bacause they are all written in the same programming language (XOJO).
As MidiPlayer is programmed in Visual Basic 6.0 that does not run anymore on Windows 10 or 11 PC's I want be able to change anything at the existing MidiPlayer version.

But there is a solution :
You can change the Tyros 4 data file with the voices and styles that are used in the Genos.
This way when you select the Tyros in MidiPlayer it will have the data for the Genos.

What would you like to do in MidiPlayer ?
Can MixMaster perhaps do the job for you ?

Hi Etienne
Thats exactly what I have done
Replaced the Tyros 4 data with Genos and it works fine even with Windows 10

Hi chesterkins,

Can I ask how you created the data list for your keyboard please?

I have the data file from Yamaha for my SX720 but it doesn't match the format of the files already in the MidiPlayer folder,  I don't have the 9 digits these files all have.

Format of the MidiPlayer files - Concert Grand;000115000

The numbers I get from the 720 Data List - ConcertGrand MSB=0 LSB=110 PC=102
or in another list it is [p2,0,0,122]S.Art ConcertGrand

I don't know how to translate these for MidiPlayer to read it, when I try I get a data error #457

None of the included instruments will work for me, though MidiPlayer was playing fine with my S900 and there have been no computer (Win 10) changes to upset things that way.

Thanks for any help.

Replying to myself. I have MidiPlayer working through the 720 now, using the Tyros3 file.
I'd still like to edit a file to have the 720 voices but at least it's working now 😁

QuoteThe numbers I get from the 720 Data List - ConcertGrand MSB=0 LSB=110 PC=102
MSB=0 => 000   LSB=110 =>110   PC=102 => 102

Should be set as  Concert Grand;000110102  in the midiplayer list.
The PC value need to be 0 based.
This means the numbers are from 000 to 127
(info 1 based nrs are from 001 to 128)

On the Genos screen the PC values are 1 based, don't know about 720.
