Using third party registrations without screen.

[Toril S]

Hello friends!
I have noticed there are a lot of registrations to be purchased/downloaded out there, and some of them really make the keyboards sound good! You can even buy sheet music with the registrations, and on the sheet it is marked when you press buttons and so on. All well and good, but being visually impaired I can't use any of those. I cannot use songbook or other apps, so I have to use registrations without looking on the screen or on sheet music. My problem is then that I don't know how the reg is set up, when to press the buttons. This makes me believe that I must stick to making my own, in that case I know how the registration is built.
Or is it a solution to this? Do any of you use third party registrations "blindly?" I see many of you use iPads with lyrics and sheet music, and the registration call up everything. Very practical, but unfortunately out of the question for me. Just sniffing out possibilities here

Does the use of a larger monitor connected to your keyboard help? And obviously you use a computer and if you use Murray's program as mentioned a few days ago, you can see the content of a registration, change whatever you like to your taste and save it to be used on your keyboard.

Good luck

I'm not sure this will help, but what I do is develop a registration sequence for every song I have.

When I buy third-party registrations, I'm like you -- I have to figure out where the developer wanted each registration used in the song. But once I've done that, I put it in a sequence, so all I have to do is press the pedal to advance to the proper next registration.

Of course, in my case, I use a mark in my sheet music to identify when to press the pedal, but I'm sure you can apply the sequence idea to third-party registrations the same way you do to identify when to switch registrations you make on your own.

Hope this helps,
Fred
