Hi Fred,
Thanks for confirming that. At last Yamaha have addressed what was an annoying aspect of their keyboards.
As you say, pedal settings can also still be memorised in registrations, something which will no doubt be the cause of confusion in some cases in future, especially if registrations have been imported/converted from earlier keyboards!
I tend to use different pedal settings for different songs, or even for different parts of the same song, so I would probably still continue to use registrations to do this on Genos (if I ever decide to get one!), which of course means that the pedal assignments on power up would be whatever they were set to by the last registration used in the previous session. At least on my Tyros4 I always know what they will be on power up (some people are never satisfied
)! For anyone that uses different combinations of pedal settings like this, a 'Start Up' registration might still be the way to ensure a consistent setup when the power is turned on!
BTW Murray Best's 'Yamaha Registration Manager' can remove the pedal group settings from multiple existing registration banks in batch mode if anyone really wants to do this 'en masse'.
Regards
Ian
