But that is what sort of make it more a challenge, getting to know 
your instrument.

Thanx for replys
Yes your right, never change runnig systems, but we all did i think.
I send a ask to Yamaha support to explain os 1.03 . Perhaps there are 
no changhes or fixes between OS1.02 and 1.03, or they didnt know !! 
but yes without any explanation i will not do this Update, too. This 
is realy strange . Have the DX200 the same sequencer Bug ?
Thanks
