Hi Ronnie
It seems from your posts above that you have a DIRECT set that you use from USB (just confirming)
OK
Firstly SONGBOOK is purely a list of "keyboard registrations"
So typically you might decide on a particualr song e.g:-
- you select the style
you select the INTRO/VAR
you select the keyboard-set (sounds) you want to play
you select/change STYLE sounds' volumes/panning etc. etc....
select the tempo
select the transpose (perhaps)
etc...etc...
and now you're ready to play the song
Just before you start playing, you can get the PA4X to remember exactly how you've set up this song by creating a SONGBOOK entry - you can do this by simply holding down the SONGBOOK button which will take you into the screen to save the new SONGBOOK entry.
In summary, SONGBOOK does not "contain" any styles or sounds - it merely "points" to styles and sounds and other options you've chosen.
Once you've created some SONGBOOK entries - now meaning that you have a few songs you can instantly set up by just selecting the SONGBOOK entry - you can now create a SET-LIST of SONGBOOK entries - create a new SET-LIST and then selectively add the SONGBOOK entries you want in that list - you can change the song order within the SET-LIST too if required.
A SET-LIST is just a list of SONGBOOK entries.
All the styles and sounds remain and unchanged in your PA4X
So if you set up a nice song in SONGBOOK and at some stage you actually moved the STYLE that it used to a different bank, then the SONGBOOK entry will no longer point to the correct style
You can create a SONGBOOK entry to register any style (DIRECT or not) plus all the other keyboard settings....
Hope this helps
SET-LIST=a selection of SONGBOOK entries
SONGBOOK entry selects and sets up your keyboard ready for a SONG to play
SONGBOOK entries and SET-LISTS can be changed and/or deleted if required.
I cannot emphasise enough the importance of SONGBOOK
Hope this helps
