Two upgrades are available to you. One, the DSR1 (cost $1295) is a control
box that attaches to what you have. This gives you Ensemble sounds so you
can hear orchestra and percussion accompaniement to what your piano is
playing. It also enables you to put MIDI files you gather from the Internet
onto floppy disks and play them on your piano without first converting them
to Yamaha format, ESEQ.
The other upgrade, the DCD1 (cost another $1295), is a CD player. This adds
Audio to your system - people singing while your piano is playing. However,
there is still no software that would let you play/record a piano part to
the CD audio - perhaps available this summer.
There are no software upgrades to your model. Flash ROM was not available
until the MarkIIXG models.
