What is MusicFinderView?

MusicFinderView is a PC editor for Music Finder (*.mfd) files.
With it you can create, edit, display, rearrange, sort, and print Music Finder records. Music Finder files are keyboard specific, but with MusicFinderView you convert files from one instrument to another, for example, convert a Tyros mfd database for use on a PSR3000.

Supported usage

MusicFinderView runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7/8/10 (32bit and 64bit) using 1024 X 768 and better screen resolution.
It provides support for

  • Tyros 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
  • CVP-203 / 204 / 205 / 206 / 207 / 208 / 209 / 210 / 303 / 305 / 307 / 409 / 505 / 605 / 609
  • PSR-1000 / 1100 / 1500 / 2000 / 2100 / 3000
  • PSR-S670 / S700 / S710 / S750 / S770 / S900 / S910 / S950 / S970 / S975
  • PSR-SX600 (*)/ SX700 (*) / SX900 (*)
  • GENOS (*)

Note:
The newest keyboard models (marked with *) do no more have a Music Finder, they use playlists instead.
These keyboards will automatically converted music finder files to playlists. For this MusicFinderView can be used to convert/prepare the music finder file from the older keyboard, before importing it into the new keyboard.

Functions

  • Display, edit, add and delete music finder data records from music finder files.
  • The listing can be rearranged, sorted, printed or saved as a tab delimited text file for use with spreadsheet, word processing or database programs.
  • The program supports searching the music finder file for records with full or partial matches of Music, Genre or Keyword text.
    Records identified via a search operation, or records that have been manually selected, can be transferred to a PlayList window where the order can be changed, columns rearranged or sorted, comments added and the list printed or saved as a text delimited file.
  • Convert music finder files from one instrument to another.
    For example, you can make a PSR-3000 file from a Tyros 2 file.
    Edit and Replace functions may be used to select styles which exist in the target instrument.
  • You can create customized music finder files by saving only records that have been identified via a search operation or manual selection. This is useful for generating databases based upon musical tastes, or for use in live performance situations.
  • Process records that reference style, midi, or audio files that reside on storage media (Tyros 4 & 5: USB, HD; PSR-S950 & S750 & PSR-S901 & S710: USB).
    This includes display, editing, and generation of a missing file listing.
  • Operate on NetCommon files (i.e. files obtained from the Internet Direct Connection) and convert them to specific instrument files.
  • Use a selected entry to setup your instrument with the Tempo, Preset Style, Starting Section and Subsequent Section directly from your PC.
