CVP-509/505/503/501 Owner’s Manual  73
Music Finder
– Calling Up Ideal Setups (Voice, Style, etc.) for Each Song –
If you want to play in a certain genre of music but don’t 
know which Style and Voice settings would be 
appropriate, the convenient Music Finder function can 
help you out. Simply select the desired music genre (or 
song title) from among the Music Finder panel settings, 
and the instrument automatically makes all appropriate 
panel settings to let you play in that music style. 
Moreover, by registering the Song/Audio data saved in 
various places into Music Finder, the instrument can 
easily call up the relevant data from the song title. The 
Music Finder Plus function gives you the added 
capability, by connecting the instrument to the Internet, 
of searching for and adding desired panel settings and 
song data via the Internet to the instrument.
NOTE
Before using a USB storage device, be 
sure to read “Connecting a USB Stor-
age Device” on page 106.
CAUTION
Replacing automatically over-
writes all your records (panel 
settings/song data shown in the 
MUSIC FINDER display). Make 
sure that all important data has 
been saved to the USER or USB 
in the File Section display (step 
4 as described at left).
Loading panel settings from the website
As a factory default, some sample records (panel settings) are provided in the Music 
Finder. By downloading many panel settings from Yamaha website and importing 
them to the instrument, you can use the Music Finder function more conveniently and 
effectively. Moreover, the Repertoire function (page 54) can also be enhanced by 
importing the panel settings. Before using the Music Finder function, we\
 recommend 
that you load the panel settings from the website following the instructions below.
