Best strategy for saving settings - OTS, Styles, Registrations

(1/2) > >>

rickbrenner:
As a Newby to world of arrangers, and a new Genos user - I have been trying to figure out the best strategy for saving songs and other settings. 

In his youtube feature "song of the week", Mike Mixon of KeyboardAmerica takes a style, changes the instruments on the OTS 1-4 and saves it as a new style in the user section.  He uses the OTS link feature to switch to different instruments as he moves from variation A, B, C, D.

With the playlists, they seem to use Registration banks to store the settings for the various parts of a song - intro on button 1, verse 1 on button 2, and so forth

In other demos I've seen, the registrations are used differently.  One person puts all their instruments on reg 2-10 and then swaps a style in and out of reg 1.

One thing I've noticed when saving a style as a different name is that I can't change the tempo to whatever I have set under the new name.  It always reverts to the tempo of the original style, even when I have tempo checked off in the options.  But when I save in a registration bank, it does change the tempo to whatever I have saved on the keyboard.

So I'm interested in hearing if there are best practices that long time Tyros players or experienced Genos players recommend.

Hi Rick,
  I think we all choose what works best for us. Personally I prefer registration banks I always set one whole bank (All ten Buttons) to a song or medley. That way I always have a good selection of voices to keep the songs interesting.
  You can easily change the tempo of a custom style by using style creator. Select the style then select Style creator. In Basic, tempo is the third line down alter it to what you want and then re-save it.
