From my perspective, the MFD is nothing more than a mini-version of a single registration, and it should be treated as such. The only thing I would add to the MFD entries would be the ability to save the transpose information, which would be extremely beneficial for those of use that utilize the transpose feature.

As for the ability to quickly go through registrations, much of this will depend upon the way those registrations are set up. If you are setting up a single registration per song, then the search process is painfully slow. However, if you use an entire registration bank for each song, searching for an entry is equally as fast as the MFD because the songs are listed alphabetically. If you have a huge number of songs that are stored as registrations you could exceed the OS folder capability. Therefore, if you're working with greater the 150 songs, merely place the first 150 in a folder that is labeled accordingly. A through M, for example, would indicate the all songs beginning with the letters A through M are stored in registrations within that folder. Upon opening the folder, you would see each song, beginning with songs beginning with A. Now it's just a matter of using the Data Scrolling wheel and quickly scrolling through the folder to the song you wish to perform and hitting the Enter button.

For those that need to do this on the fly, you can do all the steps above other than hitting the enter button while still performing another song. As soon as you end the song you are currently performing, hit Enter and you're ready to go. Nothing to it!

If the registration editing feature on a Yamaha keyboard have you somewhat confused, which is understandable, I posted detailed instructions on the PSR Tutorial site under the registrations tab that provides a step by step guide on setting up registrations using two popular methods--one song per bank and one song per button.

Cheers,
