- I have WinJammer and Yamaha PSR500M. WinJammer is capable of recording
- and transmitting SysEx messages. I was able to record the sysex (about 64K)
- but was not able to load it back into the keyboard. If anybody else on the
- net was able to load the dumps back into the PSR500, please post what software
- you used and if you had any problems doing that.
-
- WinJammer can be FTPed from FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU pub/pc/win3/sounds.
- It is pretty decent shareware sequencer. Right now I am working on a
- MIDI version of "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer. It is going to be written
- specificly for Yamaha PSR500 patch set. So any owner of PSR500, If anybody
- wants, leave me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you when I am done.
-
- I think it would be great for the owners of PSR500 to exhange e-mail addresses
- so we can share our experiences and creations on this keyboard. If we ever
- figure out how to load the MIDI bulk dumps back into the keyboard, we could
- share the custom accompaniments, and the built-in sequencer songs.
-
- P.S. I think that the difference between PSR500 and PSR500M is that the later
- comes with a power supply. What is PSR500F?
