Topic: One touch and registration difference?

[Beemer]

I confused about the difference and also the reason for using one touch than a registration?

One Touch saves information for voices only.
Registration saves other information like Styles.

One touch settings ( OTS ) are saved in styles. ( A part of it )
Advantages of using OTS you don't have to fill up the Registration.

Hi Ian,

the first difference between OTS and Registrations is that OTS are stored with the Style data. So you always have to save the Style again (as a User Style). Registrations are stored as separate files (Registration Bank files).

the BIG difference is that you cannot specify which parameters should be memorized to an OTS button:

When you press [Memory] and then one of the four OTS buttons, there are always ALL parameters memorized that are supported by OTS.

When you want to memorize some of the current panel settings to a Registration button, after pressing [Memory] you can specify the desired parameter groop(s) to be memorized to that Registration button.


In addition, significantly more parameters can be stored in Registrations than in OTS. The exact parameters that can be memorized to Registrations or to OTS can be found in the Tyros5 Data List, which you can download here if required:

Please compare the two columns "OTS" and "Regist" of the section "Parameter Chart", pages 69 - 79. A "circle" symbol means that the parameter in question is memorized (OTS) or can be memorized (Registrations). The column "Freeze Groop" shows which checkmark must be set in order to memorize the relevant parameter to a Registration or to lock the parameter using the "Freeze" function.

Just a few examples: The Style volume, Style Part volumes, Split Points, Fingering, Pedal settings cannot be memorized to OTS (but to Registrations of course).


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

You asked for the reason for using OTS.

It's simply a quick way to get some voices which will sound good with the selected style. Well-programmed styles come with good voice selections.
