I am having a problem with setting a registration button to NOT play a style on my T2 when other buttons do play styles in the same registration bank. This may be an issue on other arrangers as well.

As many others do, I use a set of registration settings as a single bank of multiple buttons for one song so I can use the A-B-C-etc buttons to quickly change a multitude of configuration options in real time.

For some songs I may not use an accompaniment for the verses, but use an accompaniment for the chorus. As example, Registration button “A” may not have accompaniment set and Registration button “B” does. The T2 does not allow you to set “no style” as the style setting, or for that matter, “no voice” to L, R1, R2, R3 voice settings.

With these setting, when playing the chorus, with Registration button “B”, I will in some way end the accompaniment, let’s say Ending I. If I hit the Registration “A” button a fraction of a second too early, as Ending I is completing and I am preparing to go to the next verse, the unwanted Style associated with Registration button “A” starts to play. This is a real pain.

I have tried, without success of making sure that “Accompaniment” and “Start” and “Stop” and “Stop Sync” buttons are all off (unlit) when I save the settings in Registration button “A”. However, if the very end of the Ending I of the style from Registration button “B” is still sounding (i.e. a dying cymbal crash) sure enough the style associated with Registration button “A” begins to play when pushed.

My plan to solve the problem of Yamaha not allowing you to have a registration button with no possibility of a style playing is to create a blank style called “No Style”. Similarly, I will create a blank voice called “No Voice” and use those to fill in the sections of the registration that I want to blank out. (This makes sense to me since several people have told me I have no style and no voice )

I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem (with the keyboard, not with critics) and if they tried the above listed solution, or something different.
