I am trying to add a text file to one of my registrations. Does this have to be created
on my computer first as it was on my tyros 5 ?
Yes, exactly the same as the T5.
The reason I ask , text can be added when renaming something on the Genos via the onscreen keyboard, so, is it possible for the .txt file to be created that way for a reg file?
I don't know of any way of adding text "when renaming something". The only "text" you add on a rename is the name of the file.
Also, the reference manual requires being in dual song mode (?) I am not using a midi file with the reg in question. Just want to add some notes related to the reg.
There's nothing in the reference manual about text files requiring a song file, and they certainly don't require "dual song mode". Wim is incorrect. I have over 1000 text files, all reference by registrations, with nary a song file in sight.
Don't confuse text files with lyrics which are embedded in midi files.
In summary:
1. Create your text files on a computer (I use Notepad on my PC).
2. Memorize your text file to any registration you want (remembering to check the Text box in the Memory Contents screen).
When you load this registration, your text file will display. Nothing else, and certainly no song file, is required.
