... I will have my registrations all set up for my instrumentation...... and when I bring up that registration by pushing the control button.... it gives me different instruments than I programmed. If I push the button a second time.... it brings up the instruments that I programmed. Then I am Ok. But why is it doing this? It doesn’t do this on every registration..... but seems to be on more songs all the time. ...
Hi Chuck,
this behavior is typical when a MIDI file is memorized in a Registration (so that the relevant MIDI file is loaded when a certain Reg button is pressed),
and so-called "Keyboard Voice Meta Events" were also stored in this MIDI file.
This can easily happen if you adjust a MIDI file on the keyboard (e.g. volume, voices, effect settings) and then save the file in the Song Creator again ("Channel - Setup - [SONG STOP button] - Execute - Save").
On the "Setup" page, there must NOT be a checkmark next to "Keyboard Voice", otherwise you will save your current KEYBOARD Voice settings (Parts Left and Right 1 - 3) into the MIDI file!
In order to REMOVE such "keyboard events" from MIDI files (either only for ONE file or for an entire folder), I recommend the PC program "PSRUTI". To do this, click on "Tools ---> Delete Keyboard Events". To download "PSRUTI" click here:

P.S.
Removing those "Keyboard Voice Events" from MIDI files
directly on the keyboard is also possible, but not as easy as with "PSRUTI".
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
