Hi slowly starting to set my sx up. Very slowly, haha. Still distracted by my style library at the moment.
Definitely going to be doing one song per registration bank. Whether I need all 8 for one song, don’t know, but even if I just start with a couple, I can add more along the way. Extra voices, whatever.
On the other had if I had 8 registrations , ( one bank) for 8 songs, no room for change.
Stephen, that Songbook + you mentioned, I think is going to work out perfectly with the SX. I’ve put in a few of my PDF sheets and managed to link a couple of them to the corresponding registrations. Great having the sheet music on the iPad, tap the song you want, and up pops the correct registration bank for the song on the sx.
Think it works vice versa too? Haven’t tried that.
Have a lot of work ahead of me as I’ve never really bothered with music on the iPad , or registrations, but at least I can set it up as I want.

I have always use the Registrations, is the most powerful and efficient way to get the most of the keyboard, you can "contour" them by using in one simple change of registration to trigger a fill/break, sync a Multipad either midi or audio link, change text, key, octave, parameters, effects, Voices, Style or style variation, tempo....etc.....
For either live performance in a gig, or for doing a Demonstration, the Best way to use the keyboard, of course, each one has their way on doing it.
I would not play an arranger any other way. Perhaps is because I came from the "Organ" school....remember all those tabs in the Theatre pipe organs?, but, you will see also those buttons between the keyboards, those are the "Registration" buttons equivalent, you could "program those" so instead of trying to make a 10-20-30 or more changes on real time, that for the amount of tabs would be literally impossible, with those "presets" you can, is the same on the keyboards now.
My 2 cents
Manuel

Manuel Hi Manuel, I had no idea how versatile the registrations were. It’s been an eye opener for me, just how good the sx900 is. For me , the last 10 years has been all about Korg never got round to really using S950 or if I did play it , I just used piano voice. Registrations appear to be a very powerful function. Thank you also for the help on psr forum, the help with audio and USB was really appreciated.

I am with you Rikki, I do know how powerful the registration function is, just have not had too much use for it as of late, and I really need to start digging in again . . I am also in the same boat as you as far as learning to use my iPad along with my 970! Again, some very powerful stuff at our fingertips, just trying to find time to learn it all has been a bit of a struggle for me lately! I will get there, but as usual, my commitments are taking precedence for the time being! Jumping from the PSR 910 to the 970 was a big jump, and now adding in more technology, its very exciting stuff! I could literally spend ALL DAY with it!
Play on!!!

Donny, nice post. Now I would like to see you take your idea, and my idea and come up with a third idea, bringing both of us up a few notches.
Nobody has it all, especially me, John C. Thanx John...what I always did was think of the arranger as my band of which in pre arranger days in the 60s,70's, 80,s I played keyboard in for many many years, clubs, on tour, cruise ships, private affairs etc,...most times with 6 pieces including a lead vocalist. So when I started to go solo and get my OMB act together I wanted a way to keep the sound of the 6pc band but do it alone as I saw what was happening in the music business as computers evolved, DJ's started to appear everywhere, etc,...that said most times my OTS sounds are including 2 sounds per OTS to switch to giving me a total of 8.. in this family order structure depending on song.... 1- Pianos/EPianos, Accordion, 2- Growl Sax/Tenor,Trumpet, Guitars, 3-Organs/Strings/Miller saxes sound ensemble, 4-Brass. I might add others depending on song but the family of sounds is basically always the same throughout the song progression, as it was in the band I played in. This is my BASE foundation set of OTS sounds for almost any song using ONE Reg per song. now that can be doubled easily by using the Multi registration button method only thing that prevents me from doing it that way is always having to remember too much info on what all those reg buts have setup inside them on the fly...where as my way described I can just remember my band members next to me that pretty much stay the same as in a real band.....not saying the other way is wrong and i will certainly try it for sure to see if it works for me better or not to achieve the same outcome when playing a song. I remain curious...

Additional information on Registrations
Most of the time I use in the Genos the first 5 registrations for one song, and the other 5 for a different song. BUT, sometimes, in certain songs that I want to be more complex, I use all 10 for one song, or use all 8 on the PSR SX900, remember that we have an unlimited number of registration banks...so, in this case, is a little more polished arrangement, sometimes, a local colleague figure that I was using a midi file, and I was not....
I will upload a registration bank in the other forum.
Manuel

I use one Registration Bank per song. BUT, I start with a Registration that has 2/4 Country on Reg. 2, A Waltz on 3, a slow 4/4 on 4, a Jazz shuffle on 5, a 6/8 Slow Rock on 6, a Latin on 7 and a Rock n Roll on 8. In addition I put my most used sounds on each. In other words, two is a Pedal Steel, 3 in a Fiddle, 4 is a Piano, 5 is a Jazz Guitar, 6 is a Sax, 7 is a Harmonica, 8 is a Strat guitar. THEN, I set the Freeze function so that when it is on, the only thing that changes when I push a Reg button is the Sound. Not the style, not anything but the sound. So, say I have the setup for Mustang Sally on one. It is set to pull up whatever sound I like, like Organ, plus the appropriate style for that song. Then I hit the Freeze button, and have the eight sounds to use on the song. I use the same seven extra sounds on every Registration. In addition to having Mustang Sally ready, with which I can use any of those (or any of the OTS associated with each of the other pads) but I can end Mustang, take the Freeze off, press number 6 for example and be playing a Slow Rock ballad in one second or less. I save all the Registrations with Syncro Start on. In conclusion, for each of my songs, one to a Registration, I have eight sounds, each with their own set of OTS, at my disposal, PLUS the seven other go-to song setups. By saving one main song to its own Registration Bank, the Banks are automatically saved in Alphabetical order, by song title, or whatever you want to name them. You can press both Reg Select buttons at the same time to see your list of Banks (songs). Find the song you want, select it, press button one with the Freeze Off, then put the Freeze on and play the song, using all the other buttons to change sounds. The process quickly becomes automatic. That's just the I do it, and thought it might help someone. Even Donny. HEE HEE!

The usage of the keyboard and Registrations is going to be a little different for people that sing like our friends DonM, Donny, etc....
And for the few of us that are only instrumental music, we most likely are to use more sounds for the verses, chorus, verse, etc....since those are our "lead" voices....is also a way to maintain interesting the song, it gives some dynamics to the song, among other ways like changing style variations, modulation of keys, etc.
This is a common thing to do as an organist....and I just translated it to the keyboard, only that now the keyboards allow us to sort of becoming sort of a musical genre "chameleon".....
If playing a Bing band song, you can assign a solo instrument to play the verse (Clarinet as an example), a woodwind or brass ensamble for chorus, a piano to get back to the Verse, or trombone, etc....
