Hello Group,

Wonder if I can assign a text file to a MIDI file and save it in Song List (Player Mode), instead of saving it as registration and adding it to a Playlist?

Thanks

A midi file does not support a text file. However, it does support lyrics. So you can add lyrics to a midi file, then display the lyrics on the keyboard's display. Most midi files come with lyrics in them.

Cheers,
Fred

Maybe I didn't explain properly.

I figured that I can assign a text file to a midi/kar and save that as registration and after add it to a playlist. (Right Panel) - all this works good.

Question is, instead of doing so many steps to achieve above, is it possible to assign a text file to a midi/kar and save it in Song Player List (Left Panel)

No.

In the first case, you aren't "assigning" the text file to the midi. You are telling the registration to memorize a text file pointer in addition to a midi file pointer.

In the second case, there's no similar ability to get the song player to memorize a text file pointer.

However, you should look into midi lyrics. Certainly if you are using kar files, they have lyrics. You can display the lyrics of a song file by going through the menu.

Thanks, so no pointers to a text for midis - unfortunate.
Problem is that some of midi files I have are old and don't have lyrics, that is why I am trying to figure out the most convenient/fastest way to do this.

Hello!
You can do this with a text-file and then save in a registration,
so the text-file is loaded at the same time as the midi file.

Yes,.. looks like its only way - after that I add it to a playlist

Hello Akki.
The playlist in the list will be disconnected if you make any changes in the registration after confirming the playlist, the playlist will show after the title ! sign. Then take AddRecord again and take a name. Since the broken link doesn't work, it can be deleted from the playlist list.

That's not true. You can make as many changes as you want to the registration, and the Playlist will still find it.

The only thing you can't do is rename or move the registration. If you change the name or location of the registration, then you will need to relink it in the Playlist.

Cheers,
Fred

Hi Fred.
I checked again, yes you are right.
PSR tries to search for the same title on another memory stick. If he doesn't find it, he shows ! sign.
I have had several memory sticks in use, and then there have been confusions with the stick change.
I don't want to check right now, but I think Restart with C6 key deletes the Playlist. I just now had it empty and at some point I was forced to do a C6 Restart. I think it's safer to keep your stories in Registri Bank.
With respect,
Innar.

Hi Akki, put all your lyrics ordered on your USB stick and just use the search function of the SX to read the text files; all the best Patrick

Patrick, I don't think there is a search for text files - if it was there, it would solve all my problems (current)

There is no search on text files. The best you can do is make sure they’re in alphabetical order by song name.

Fred
