Simon: I like your explanation and think it is similar to my own, but I question whether you are able to select and play a megavoice from the Tyros keyboard. Page 80 of the Tyros owners manual specifically says that you cannot do this from the Tyros, nor are the megavoices meant to be used at all by the user due to the near-impossibility of using them in live performance. From what I've read by George Kaye, I gathered that the individual "elements" of a megavoice are available as individual voices that are selectable from the Tyros, but not the composite megavoices themselves. Can you tell me where you read that the megavoices are playable from the Tyros keyboard? Is the Tyros manual wrong or have I misread something?
As I haven't played a Tyros yet, I can't be sure but here is what I think. If you edit one of the "megavoiced" styles, then choosing one of the tracks featuring a megavoice will give you the megavoice at the keyboard. Now you could then store this into one of the registration memories.... and recall in performance mode. Maybe it will work? It's quite possible that if the megavoice is in some obscure bank that it may not be accessible from the main voice list, and that a sequence of midi sysex or bank/program change values sent to the keyboard either from a sequencer or from a file on the keyboard would be needed to access the megavoices. According to the Data list page 38, the data saved to a registration memory or OTS in the style is control change, bank MSB, bank LSB and Program change. Therefore as long as its possible to first choose the voice by sending these signals to the keyboard, it should be possible to store them into a registration memory and then recall them.
