I have the following packs (SETs) loaded into my Tyros 5. Their total size is approx 600MB.

Emomuzik Turkish
Middle Eastern
Balkan & Turkey
Euro Dance
My friend's pack
My own pack

It takes approx. 20 minutes for the 1GB module to format and load these packs, via USB. Wirelessly it always takes longer, but I do not know how long as I never use this feature. When powering the instrument to ON there is no wait time, the sample module is a non-volatile memory module and the expansion samples/styles are regarded as ROM material.

The only con to this is that even if you want to modify/edit one sample you need to reload everything. To solve this problem, in a way, Yamaha gave the users a PC tool to create the sounds and to test them directly from the PC before loading into the instrument.

@karmathanever - Friend you mentioned that you did not like the registrations which is perfectly understandable as you are probably used to the Pa performances. There is one easier way you could have saved your performances. You could have saved your "performance" as a style (for each performance create/copy the style and rename it as your performance). The pro to this is that you are unlimited to the number of styles on the hard disk, you can organize them in folders, you can slightly adjust the style as needed, and for each style you have 4 single touch settings. The only con is that you would have a lot of duplicate style (ex. if you use the same style for 10 different performances). Also, if I remember correctly there is an iPad app that enables you to create a "set list" performances for the Tyros (I will try to find its name tonight and let you know).

My personal opinion is that Pa3x, Pa4x, and Tyros5 arrangers are the best hardware arrangers at the moment. I am a huge fan of these arrangers. Even though at the moment I do not own a Pa, I do own a Kronos which I love very much and will never sell it.

If Korg want to look ahead to the NEXT level, they need to understand that a graphical touch surface can be a lot more powerful than they currently allow.

From hardcore freeplay style users, to DJ style players, to SMF and style Songbook users, no two people's needs or wants when it comes to screen layout is ever going to be the same. So why not allow the USER to customize what is active on any screen at any one time?

It should be fairly easy to come up with a PC app that can 'copy/paste' different controls and screen buttons/sliders onto a blank page or two per Performance or Songbook entry. After all, it is all simply software, no physical controls to reroute, disconnect, etc.. Allow the user to lay it out on the screen the way they want it to, and watch our minds explode when we finally realize we can put OUR most needed controls all in one place (or two)...

Despite it being a BOTL new arranger (or low MOTL if you prefer), the new little E-A7 Roland has up to nineteen buttons on the front panel all freely assignable (to a large degree) to be whatever you want or need. Looks like Roland have given up on touch screens for a while (which is a shame, because the old G70's put most everyone to shame in layout and responsiveness), but at least the new design team realize that everyone uses their arranger in different ways. It is no longer 'one size fits all'.

Korg could fairly easily leverage the power of the touch screen to allow us to customize our needs, even without making the front panel buttons more configurable (which would also be nice!)

Hi siebenhirter

Very interesting post.

So please maybe you can help

I will explain 2 way of use Registrations,so If you help me to doo that on Korg (PA900) I will big thank you.

OPTIONS 1

Registrations Bank named Song-1

Use Midi File (total play 14 tracks in Midi)but I also sing and PLAY solo with right hand:

Botton-1:
R1-Acordion,R2-Organ,R3-OFF,##MIDI tracks 1,4, OFF all other chanels ON,##Multi pad:arpegio-1,##Mic harmony-USER1 OF

Botton-2:
R1-strings,R2-strings -1 octave,R3 Strings +1octave,##MIDI tracks 2,13OFF all other ON,##Multi pad USER2,##Mic Harmony USER1 ON.

Botton-3:
R1-Violin,R2-OFF,R3-OFF,,##MIDI tracks 1,4, OFF all other chanels

and 5 other with diferente setups as you se.

So when I call registrations and start play ,all song i am chancging 8 off Bottons wich are right above my right hand.No tuch screen or enithyng else,no change Perfomenance,all this I doo under one single perfomenance-Reg Memory
----------------------------------------

SONG-2 Registrations Bank play with two styles:

Botton1:R1-Acordion,R2 Acordion+Harmony USER1,R3-OFF.
STYLE 7/8 tempo 130
Multi pad USER 1

Botton2:R1-strings,R2-strings -1 octave,R3 Strings +1octave,
Style 7/8 tempo 130
Multi pad USER1

Botton3:R1-Synth ,R2 Organ+Harmony USER1,R3-OFF.
STYLE 7/8 tempo 130
Multi pad USER 1

Botton4:R1-Violin,R2 Acordion+Harmony USER1,R3-OFF.
STYLE 7/8 tempo 130
Multi pad USER 1

Botton5:R1-Acordion,R2 Acordion+Harmony USER1,R3-OFF.
STYLE 2/4 tempo 110
Multi pad USER 1

all rest 5-8 are same as 2-4 only diferente is style 2/4.
.........................

How I can do this on KORG?

Only 1 Perfomenance and change all theese SETUP's with bottons(You said 16 can be asigneable)

Thank you

Continuation - even one understand the contexts for auto-select, it may be easier to use for one than for me to explain this.

Statement in short for auto-select:
- one can save last checked performance-positions of all performance-banks in a link-list to this positions
- create that link-list in Globals, checking Parameter "Auto Select - Performance"
- pressing "Save" to save this link-list to internal memory
- save Globals as Set to an external device to get a Setfile
- use directory/subdirectory of this setfile to find the file setup.gbl
- for quick-access copy the file setup.gbl to root-directory
and rename it (file extension must be gbl)
- load renamed gbl files to be used for direct-accessing eight performances by simple button-press

Once again - to be useful advantageous for this kind of using performances by button-press-direct-access maybe a personalized structured performanc-memory as required for ones habits.

PS: There are some more of hidden possibilities with features of Pa-keyboards one can not find in Korg-manuals.

This is all good information, but is there any chance of copy/pasting it, and placing it in a thread about Registration equivalency in Korg's (or whatever you prefer to call it), to make it easily searchable and also not derail the original intent of the thread?

It's a great tutorial, but it's on a thread about a T5/PA4X comparison, and may be missed by a lot of readers...
