If you play LIVE and you are SOLO or a One Man Band, this little device from Yamaha will help your set round out to be beefy and powerful. You can have an entire orchestra backing you up if you know how to use this puppy with synths! There is really no other product out there that does this so nicely for so little money. I see pros out there still using this all the time, and Im keeping mine. Extremely useful and EASY to use. Also has a built in sequencer. If you need a way to do a MIDI Sysex dump or load files, this will do the trick with EASE. This thing rocks!!! worth its weight in gold! You can do an entire gig using this device and you will be surprised how easy it is to you when you are playing LIVE. Thats important!

For an electronic musician who's working with a couple of aging Roland SD-35's for which replacement disk drives are TOTALLY unobtainable, the Yamaha MDF3 is the last-chance backup midi player device. It is the ONLY alternative. Hook it up to the SD-35 or other module with a midi cable, and it will play your midi files, but don't expect any ammenities. Bring a flashlight to read the non-backlit LED. Be prepared to rename you files with goofy extensions to get them to play in a logical order. Put a little extra time aside to start each song, as you will have to press three buttons plus the foot switch to start a song on the beat. And each time you turn this thing on don't forget to reset everything,'cause this little fellow has 0, as in zero, memory. Read the manual and scratch your head over who the heck this thing was designed for!
