BEFORE THIS UPDATE COMES

Yamaha is looking for a small group of Mark IV owners who are interested in being Beta testers for Version 3.0. If you are willing to be a betatester for us, we will ask you to fill out a couple of questionnaires that will be sent to you during the testing period that will help us work out any bugs that may exist with the software.

If you are interested in becoming a Version 3.0 Beta tester and you live in the United States, please go to: http://www.clicktools.com/survey?iv=b5119874e359011 and complete the short questionnaire. If you are chosen to be a Beta tester, we shall use this information to mail you a Beta update pack.

We will complete our Beta tester selection by May 1st. Those chosen will be sent the update shortly thereafter.

3.0 IS COMING We are very excited about this update and the new capabilities that will be added to the Disklavier Mark IV!
