Scott L,

Greetings from the 'other' Scott on the board.

You're correct. Octave settings are not supported in OTS. The parameters which are supported by OTS are far fewer than supported by Registration Memory. Page 25 - 30 of the PSR2000 Data List manual lists exactly which parameters are supported by OTS & Reg Memory.

I'm not sure what you are asking regarding the vocal harmony setting staying on in Registration Memory. On my 2000, in Reg Memory, I'm able to save both the vocal harmony status (on/off) as well as the specific harmony type and settings. To insure that the Vocal Harmony parameters are saved in Reg Memory, make sure that the 'Mic Settings' checkbox is checked in Registration the Memory 'Contents' Window. The vocal harmony status & type should remain until you manually change them or if you select another Registration Memoroy button with different settings. Vocal harmonizer settings and status are NOT supported by OTS.

On the PSR2000, the OTS settings are stored in the actual style. You can store the edited style (with OTS settings) either to the USER area OR to floppy. In fact, for song specific customized styles (with custom OTS), I too store them on floppy and name the style the specific song's name. For my majority of songs (500+) which utilize the PSR2000's internal styles & associated OTS settings, I use the MusicFinder, a indispensable tool for quickly searching & locating a specific songs or song types on the fly. yet I wish Yamaha would enhance it by including a field to store the song's 'key transpose' setting and specific 'intro/ending' variation as well.

My 2000 supports pedal 'settings' in Registration Memory. Though the PSR2000 says it also supports pedal 'settings' in OTS (pedal 2 only), I am not able to store pedal 'settings' at all in OTS. I think it is a bug which may have been corrected in a later OS, but I'm not sure. The settings stay until you change it manually or change to another Memory Reg which contains another setting.

The speed (tempo) of a style is automatically saved with the style. BTW, just in case you didn't know, to re-save an edited style, you MUST go to: Digital Recording> Style Creator>Assembly, and then select SAVE 'J button' to actually re-save a style. You cannot actually re-save a style in the USER MEMORY Style Window itself, even though you may have thought you had. I remember the inital frustration & confusion I had over this when I first purchased my KB. No matter what kind of editing changes you make to a style (EQ, balance, Sound assignments, etc), you MUST save it via the Style Creator Window Page outlined above.

I hope this helps you out in some way. Good luck on your first gig with the PSR2000. I think you're going to find it a great lightweight but powerful gigging board.

Scott
