What you are actually seeing is the Registration disk being put into the organ NOT a MIDI orchestration, each competitor in Electone Festivals have their own set of registrations on disc so that they know exactly what sounds are where for their personal performance, otherwise they would have to spend 1/2 an hour setting the organ up to their particular performance needs, Yamaha Electones have 16 settable preset buttons (or pistons in organ terminology) between the keyboards, the disc will set these up to the players 'sounds and settings' requirments' and nothing else
I entered the southern UK section of the 1985 Yamaha UK Electone Festival and finished up playing at the National Finals at Woburn Abbey, even then I had my registrtations all ready on RAMPAK as it was called then.
