If you ever get a chance to see a Lowrey Royale or Rhapsody I think as far as ease of operation with all the elements we like to use are there. I keep hoping these keyboard companies will see one of these instruments and incorporate it into there stuff.
My friend, Chris Mesnickow, was both a regional sales mgr & official Lowrey performance artist. A few years back, he submitted (and helped institute) my suggestion of a 'user customizable' chord voicing recognition and lo and behold, a couple of years back, Lowrey instituted this feature in their top of the line organ, sorry, but forgot the exact model name. I keep hoping that the arranger keyboard manufacters will follow suit and add this feature as well.

Having said that, regarding the Registration Memory, I was referring to using and storing panel voices into the buttons 1-8, saving harmony on some and some saved as solo, or one note settings.
Both the harmony on/off status as well as the specific harmony type are supported (and can be saved) in both OTS and Registration Memory (1-8). I frequently do store different harmony settings in different OTS or Reg Memory buttons. Press the 2000's Memory button which takes you to the Reg Memory: 'Memory Contents' Window and make sure that the 'Harmony' box is checked.

I presume your answer with the extra "save" procedure will allow me to save the speed on disk with OTS etc.?
RIGHT. All Style parameters (including the speed (tempo)) can only really be saved by going into the Style Creator Window FIRST and then re-saving the style.

Good Question, with a pretty SIMPLE answer
You can name each individual Reg Memory Button and then call up a viewable list of all the 8 reg memorys names:
1) Press J button (lower right of LCD display)
2) Make sure the approp Reg Memory Bank is selected
3) Press the upper portion of the the #8 button (directly below the right corner of LCD disply)
4) This takes you to the Registration Edit Window where you can: name/edit/view all 8 Registrations. If you want the sounds to show up here, just give each indidual reg the name of the sound you want to remember it by.
I frequently leave the Registration Edit Window OPEN while performing songs which include a lot of regs or reg banks. Scott, I assume you know that the PSR2000 reg feature also supports multiple registration banks per song too, right? To do this, you need to remember to set the Registration Sequence to "next bank'. For songs which include more than 1 reg bank (9 individual regs +), I name them all the same name followed by 1,2,3, etc) & store these in their own sub folder (on floppy). Theoretically you can use an unlimited number of reg banks for a single song, limited only by available memory.
Hope you first gig with the 2K goes (or went) well.
