Multipads keep going after registration step forward

[Tonny]

I have a registration bank for a song with a number of registrations in it for intro, verse, etc. And I use the registration sequence to forward through the registrations while playing. Each registration has a different multipad stored in it. When I step forward in the registration sequence, the new multipad starts (which is good) but the multipad from the previous step does not stop ! So then I have 2 separate multipads playing, which was not what I wanted.

How do I make the "old" multipad stop when I switch to the next step in my registration bank? I already looked at the Freeze function, but that was correctly already switched off. Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks in advance ! Tonny

You have to switch it off by hand.Hold down the Stop button and press the one you want to stop.

Hi Tonny

Unfortunatly Yamaha refuses to implement a SYNC STOP MULTIPAD function to be stored in a registration. This has been requested since the Tyros 3, when the SYNC START was implemented for Multi-Pads. Though it is obvious that this would be very useful, Yamaha does not listen (again).

Clearly, switching by hand is not a valid option in your case. There's a little trick to achieve what you after. To stop a Multi-Pad by registration, it must load a new Multi-Pad bank, that contains a one-shot Multi-Pad with a single note having velocity = 0 (not sounding). You may download this StopPad:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cad2jrnu543vngp/StopPad.zip?dl=0

which may be used to stop any of the four Multi-Pads. If you want to stop one and start another, just assemble the Multi-Pads as needed, e.g.

Multi-Pad bank A: Sync Start Multi-Pad 1 (your first loop);  this is stored in Reg1
Multi-Pad bank B: Sync Start Multi-Pad 1 (containing a copy of the StopPad) , Sync Start Multipad 2 (your second loop);  this is stored in Reg2

Hope you get the idea, just ask, if it is not clear.

First, this is a feature, not a bug. There are lots of times I want a pad to continue through a registration change.

The easy solution to your problem is to use the same pad (eg, mp1) for both registrations. Then the old pad will stop, and the new pad will start.

If this is not feasible in your situation for whatever reason, then you do what Dromeus suggests — load a pad which does nothing. You can create your own easily, or downloads one of the many pads others have created.

Tonny,

Download my Multli Pad article (see link below in my signature).  The is a Pad Stopper file is included and a description on how to use the file as well as demo registrations.

Yes ..

I was using the SkyPop styles with changing registrations also triggering DIFFERENT multipads.
The registrations would not store properly ... In fact on one occasion .. all multipads were flashing on their own with no sound .

Maybe they will see reason and introduce as registration capable control, as playing fast club stuff does not allow time to look at/select off, then press another button, then press another to start a new pad .. ludicrous!  👍😂
Ok if youre playing Old Lang Syne, but not Coldplay Club!  🎹💨

Registrations will do what you want, Al. You need only decide you'd prefer a solution to complaining.

Don't find fault with the keyboard... "operator error" is the problem in your case.

Well, NO guys ...

I was not 'complaining' and if I wanted to, it would be to Yamaha directly, not here.

The step forward or registration change will not store a change in Multipad settings properly. Others have brought this up. Eileen was kind enough to state they have to be stopped first, then another started.

Unless Yamaha change the design and add to the Registration system, we work around. In the interim, we discuss
ways around it, like the Pad Stopper, maybe.

Cheers ...

Hi. I have the same frustartion as AlBags here in that I too would like to stop a multipad when I change a registration. I am going to try the "workaround" suggested

But, perhaps Fred, your comment "Registrations will do what you want, Al. You need only decide you'd prefer a solution to complaining" could be expanded upon, e.g if there is another way other than to create/use a completely different multipad bank to stop a multipad from continuing then how? I would like a simple way of progressing through a multipads so they turn off when a new registration is selected....

Example;

- Registration 1 - Has MP1 playing (loop) which is what I want,
- Registration 2 - I want to stop playing MP1 and have it play MP2 instead.

At moment only way I can see the above as possible is to move Registration 2 to Registration 3 and in Registration 2 have it select a new MP Bank to stop the previous one (e.g. a blank MP): Or, as Elieen suggested, manualy switch MP1 off. Neither option an ideal solutions when playing faster Techno Style music.

For avoidance of doubt, I'm not complaining....I'm simpy looking for a easy and effective way to acheive the result I want with what is a great keyboard.

In registration 2, you need an MP which stops MP1, and plays MP2.

You can:
1. Create a Multipad which has your MP2 in the MP1 slot. When you load this pad, it will do exactly what you want.
2. If you don't want to do #1, you need to create an MP which has Padstopper in slot 1, and your MP2 in slot #2.

I'm not sure why solution #2 is better than #1, but it's up to you.

If you don't have Padstopper, it's available here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsHi9Gh31gfOjPIKPP_25L1yFMpDZg?e=ECI14A   It's been posted to this forum dozens of times.

Cheers,

If you guys want demo registrations and detailed instructions on how Pad Stopper works download my article with all the files and follow the instructions EXACTLY to make the registrations play on your keyboards.  If you are into EDM you will be very happy. There are no shortcuts, it works quite well.
