Free shipping. Item 2 HQRP Sustain Pedal Foot Switch Style for Yamaha Electronic Keyboard. I bought a Yamaha MM6, and I am pleased for the most part. I have to say, because I normally play a Motif, it was like taking a few steps back. The piano sounds aren't as convincing, and the organ sounds are nowhere near realistic.

Hi all, Just got an MM6, impressed with value for money! Skimming thro' the manual and trying out bits is working well! I have loaded midi files from the usb port, no prob, but is it possible to load a midi file as a pattern, to a track? In other words, load the midi to track 1 (bass,drums etc) and then use for backing while playing live to fill other tracks. Much as you could with sequencer s/w.

Can't find any mention in manual (so far) and may be a stupid question, sure you'll tell me if it is.Thanks, look forward to your comments! Thanks Keithy501, a great response - better than expected!

Glad I joined up!!I will follow up your suggestions and give it a try! I wondered about access to '.sty' format and if there were options for the MM6, will follow your links! For the price, I know there will be limitations, but I also know there are always options the manufacturers don't necessarily encourage ( not in the manual, that is)!Will let you know if I am successful and, of course, if I come up with anything useful to others!Thanks again for rapid response and useful info! Hi,I obtained the same software in the video just to follow the instructions like for like. You should be able to use most software to give the same results.The software I use mainly is just an old version of Cubasis AV which came with a Sony CD Writer purchased some time ago. This software is handy just to look at sheet music and also to transpose some midi files into a different key.

I also have Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, which again is quite old but does the job for me. For anything more complicated then it's Sonar.If you want access to a lot of Yamaha style files, then there is a user group you can join where they have the files available from the forum -Keith.
