### 1/5 — Real disappointment

*2019-10-19*

Looks like Yamaha doesn’t support this app anymore, or they don’t support the EW410, or they don’t support the iPad Pro, or they don’t support the iPhone 8. It must be one of these because it doesn’t work for me

Yamaha has been very short sighted by not supporting the Mac platform and they’ve shown a rush to market by not implementing the ability to load midi directly from usb without the need for external software. 

I wish I hadn’t bought this keyboard.

### 1/5 — うむ

*2017-12-16, version 2.5.1*

5ヶ月前にアップデートしたばかりなのにDropboxの中身が見れないのは何故でしょうか。
せめてファイル共有から転送できるようにしてください

### 1/5 — Dropbox

### 1/5 — Usb midi I-ux1

*2014-10-12, version 2.2.0*

Ho collegato la mia batteria dtx 400 con il cavo usb midi i-ux1 ma iPad Mini dice che il cavo non è certificato e non funziona. La app di conseguenza non riconosce nessuno strumento collegato.

### 1/5 — マジくそ

*2014-03-10, version 2.1.0*

これ以上ないくそアプリ

### 1/5 — No funciona vía wifi.

Instrumento cvp-609 conectado a router vía adaptador USB wireless suministrado con el instrumento. iPad conecta también por wifi. La aplicación no ve el instrumento. NO FUNCIONA

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all with Tyros 4

*2013-07-02*

"Communication with the USB device  has failed."  is all the Tyros 4 keeps saying.  Even after removing the WiFi doggle.

### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2024-01-10*

This app hasn’t worked for several months

### 1/5 — Piège à …

*2021-12-12*

La bibliothèque fonctionne très bien !!! Si on s’abonne à Dropbox !!! 10 euros par mois !!! Mais yamaha se moque de qui !!! On achète un instrument à plusieurs milliers d’euros (oui milliers !!!) et on demande de passer par un abonnement Dropbox !!! 
Courage !!! Fuyons !!!

### 1/5 — Does not support my CSP170

*2021-10-05*

Despite the demo video telling me I could use this app, I can’t get the app to communicate correctly with my CSP-170.  Quite disappointed. 

I addition, Dropbox support is no longer useful, since they limit the number of devices that can connect to the Dropbox account unless you pay a premium, which I am unwilling to do just for my piano.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-05-25*

Yamaha web site mentions the ability to buy midi files..... this feature does not exist !

### 1/5 — App crashes with IOS14

*2020-12-09*

I can no longer transfer midi files off my DTX502 drum module because the app crashes mid transfer. The app is fixed for iOS 13 but not iOS 14....can we get an update?

### 1/5 — Unable to Connect toInstrument!!!!!!!

*2020-11-26*

This app. recognises my CSP170 but then I get a message unable to connect to instrument.
My CSP170 works fine with the Smart Pianist app?

### 1/5 — なんでやこの使いにくいやつ、ヤマハのに

*2020-09-08, version 2.5.4*

こんなに使いにくいやつは初めて会ったわ。マジに信じられない、ヤマハのに、こんなに使いにくいやつ置いているのがなんだい。

### 1/5 — Crashes :-(

*2020-04-23*

This app CRASHES every time the piano is recognized. I’m running iOS 13 on an iPad Air 2, and the piano is an Yamaha DXG 660. Both are supposed to be compatible with this app. Very disappointed :-(

### 5/5 — Super!

*2020-07-20*

Nutze das Tool sehr oft in Verbindung mit meinem Yamaha Tyros 5 per WLAN.
Funktioniert einwandfrei.
Gerade in Verbindung mit der Dropbox sehr nützlich.
Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn an dieser App weiter gearbeitet wird.

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2013-07-02*

This works very well on my PSR 3000. The drop box function is great. 
 I would love to see a versions hat connects my imac directly to keyboard

### 4/5 — Muy útil

*2014-03-22, version 2.1.0*

Genial si no tienes el ordenador junto a tu instrumento. Puedes subir los archivos a Dropbox, por ejemplo, y tenerlos automáticamente en tu ordenador.
Estaría muy bien que pudiera reproducir los archivos MIDI.

### 4/5 — A good app if you know how to set it up

*2013-03-20*

I initially gave the app one star since it didn't work for me. However, finally I understood its modus operandi. 

First of all, if the app doesn't seem to work for you and your instrument has two USB ports, try to insert your wifi adapter into a different USB port. That solved part of the problem for me: the app started to "see" files on the instrument. 

To find copied files in your Dropbox you'll need to locate the "Apps" folder. Inside the "Apps" folder you'll see a folder named "MusicSoftManager" - that's the one you need.

### 3/5 — Shop not available

*2020-10-29*

The manual for this app shows a shop option at the foot of the screen to buy more content from Yamaha.  This does not appear on the app itself!!  How do I purchase more content?

### 3/5 — Please read

*2015-05-29*

I gave 3 stars cause I haven't played but I know it had my and maybe your favorite songs try it give it a chance

### 3/5 — Dropbox non funziona

*2015-02-14, version 2.4.0*

Per il resto, app discreta

### 2/5 — PSR e363

*2020-05-02, version 2.5.3*

I tried to connect with dropbox but files does not appear.. please fix it

### 2/5 — PSR E-443

*2016-10-04, version 2.5.0*

I tried to connect my iPhone to my PSR E-443 but the app always said "No Instruments Available" 😖
Please fix this. Thanks

### 2/5 — Dtx 502

*2015-02-20*

Says the newest update now supports the dtx502 module, yet it's not in the list when you select your instrument.
