Thanks for your feedback, hammi!
As with any new software, you must first become familiar with the operation. In the case of the YRM, however, it is basically very simple:
- Start the Yamaha Registration Manager.
- Set the CVP-709 as "Target Keyboard".
Converting a single Registration Bank file:
- Load the Registration Bank (upper left button).
- Check the green button "Save/Convert Registration Bank". Then click on this button and save the converted Bank file. Finished!
Batch Bank Conversion (all Bank files in a folder at once):
- Start Yamaha Registration Manager, but don't load a Bank file.
- Click on "Batch Bank Conversion" button.
- Set the Source directory (= the folder in which the .rgt files to be converted are saved).
- Set the Target directory (= the folder in which the converted files should be saved).
- Click on the button "Convert Banks". Finished!
P.S.
It is certainly always best to create the Registrations from scratch on a new instrument. This is the best way to use all of the new Styles, Voices and Effects. Nevertheless, it cannot hurt to test the Registrations of the previous instrument on the new instrument (e.g. to have a basis for the new Registrations).
Best regards,
