Hi Gios,
I recommend that you work primarily with
Registrations. You should definitely study the Registration Memory feature, i.e. how you save Registrations on buttons 1 - 8 and how the Registration BANK is then saved as a file.
I myself see (and use) the
OTS of the Styles primarily as
suggestions for Voice combinations. (The Voices of the Preset OTS can sound different (mostly better) than when the same Preset Voices are called up directly.)
You can create special "
Voice Regs" (e.g. you can save your preferred OTS in them). The procedure would be:
- Call up a Style and press the desired OTS button (or make the desired Keyboard Voice settings
manually)
- Press [Memory] button.
- Make sure to have ticked
only "
Voice" and "
Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio" in the Memory window.
- Press the desired Reg Memory button (1 - 8 ) on which you want to store the current Keyboard Voice settings.
- Repeat these steps for other OTS or manually made Voice settings and store them on the other Reg Memory buttons in the same way.
- Press [Regist Bank -] and [Regist Bank +] buttons
at the same time to call up the Registration file selection display.
- Save your current Registration Bank as a file in the User drive or onto a USB stick.
- Use a
meaningful file name here. The file names of my "Voice Regs" always start with "
v", e.g. "
vPiano&Strings".
Important: - If you check "Voice" (in the Memory window), only the
Right Voices are memorized to the registration.
- "Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio" should ALWAYS be ticked, even if these functions are not currently being used. This is the only way to ensure that a newly called up Registration correctly DISABLES "Keyboard Harmony/Arpeggio" if it was enabled by a previous Reg or OTS.
Note: The
LEFT Voice is saved in registrations with the checkmark "
Style". If you also want to save the LEFT Voice in a "Voice Reg", you have to use a little trick:
- Make the desired Keyboard Voice settings
- Copy any (Preset) Style into the User drive and
rename it, e.g. to "dummy1".
- LOAD this renamed Style.
- Press [Memory] and make sure that the checkmark is set for "Style" (if the Right Voices should also be saved, of course also for "Voice" and "Keyboard Harmony / Arpeggio").
- Memorize other Voice settings to the other Reg buttons, but make sure that the "Dummy" Style is always loaded before pressing [Memory].
- Save the Reg BANK.
- Now you delete the "Dummy" Style from the User drive. (You can also just
rename it, in this case e.g. to "dummy2".)
- If you call up these Regs in the future, the originally linked Style will
not be found, and therefore the Voice Regs created with this trick will NOT change the currently set Style.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
