Hello friends
In another forum, Donny began a conversation regarding the use of Registrations vs OTS.....
In my experience playing in events for a very, very, very long time and also demonstrating Keyboards, the best way to get the most of the keyboard is using the Registrations....
This is what I posted:
I have always use the Registrations, is the most powerful and efficient way to get the most of the keyboard, you can "contour" them by using in one simple change of registration to trigger a fill/break, sync a Multipad either midi or audio link, Song, change text, key, octave, parameters, effects, Voices, Style or style variation, tempo....etc.....
For either live performance in a gig, or for doing a Demonstration, the Best way to use the keyboard, of course, each one has their way on doing it.
I would not play an arranger any other way. Perhaps is because I came from the "Organ" school....remember all those tabs in the Theatre pipe organs?, but, you will see also those buttons between the keyboards, those are the "Registration" buttons equivalent, you could "program those" so instead of trying to make a 10-20-30 or more changes on real time, that for the amount of tabs would be literally impossible, with those "presets" you can, is the same on the keyboards now.
Most of the time I use in the Genos the first 5 registrations for one song, and the other 5 for a different song. (In the PSR SX 900 I use 4 and 4).
BUT, sometimes, in certain songs that I want to be more complex, I use all 10 for one song, or use all 8 on the PSR SX900, remember that we have an unlimited number of registration banks...so, in this case, is a little more polished arrangement, sometimes, a local colleague figure that I was using a midi file, and I was not....
I hope I can upload a registration using the 8 memories, is for the song A Crazy little thing called love. ( I play it in C ), and I know that the Fill that is after the Chorus is different.
I use 1 and 2 for the First part, the Chorus I use 3 and at the end of it 4 G chord one measure press 4 again with the C chord, to go back to the repeat of the first verse Use 5, I manually change key one UP at the end of it and play the verse with 6, then to repeat of the Chorus with 7 then go to 4 G chord one measure press 4 again with the C chord after the second beat press 8 .......if you want to manually change to variation 3 then end.... You most practice the changes, since the song is upbeat you have to be precise.....
