Memorizing Original Panel Settings to One Touch Setting

[Michael Trigoboff]

Page 60 of the Genos Owner's Manual describes a way to (if I understand correctly) create a new user style and then have its specific settings restored when you hit a particular OTS button that you have chosen.

As far as my understanding goes, you could do something similar with a registration.

I am wondering why you would choose between these two techniques. What's the trade-off?

I think it's also quite possible that I am totally missing the point...

There are different preferences with different folks.  I like to use OTS so I know what the Left, and right Voices will be, and which Multi pads will play with a style, but when building a song using a registration bank (8 registrations), I can vary those OTS settings with each registration and even vary the style or use a different style with each registration.

My understanding is that registration banks are where we can ARRANGE a piece of music.  Sometimes I use 2 complete registration banks to create an arrangement.

Joe said it. A registration can store more settings than OTS. Depends on how much work you want to put into it.

The registration memory is likened to a "Scene" found in the older Yamaha synths.  It memorizes all the Panel settings (snap shot) including the Mixing Console settings.

With a style you can change OTS 4 times (for each variation)
With a registration you can change a style OTS 10 times (for a Genos)

Not to mention you can save so much more in a registration as pointed out by Joe and others
You can also associate those registrations into a Playlist.
