I mean, possibly half of even this forum don't use Registrations much, but simply call up a 'free panel' setting, and then select styles and sounds on the fly. Does that mean Yamaha should drop having Registrations? Because quite a few don't use them?
Actually, those who
do not use registration memory would be a
very, very small minority in my own experience, and from what I have gathered from the Yamaha forums and clinics.
It is a very efficient, and remarkably easy to use system...Roland's UPG needed workarounds, so perhaps that's why you feel Yamaha's isn't used as much.
It is.
The way I see it, if it had made that much difference to Roland users, the company's market research would have deemed it necessary to keep it.
I had it on the E-70 I owned for some time...I used it, but not
that often...
it's only handy in certain tunes, and I suppose,
the increase in the use of SMF sort of made it redundant for many players.
I certainly can't see a PA2XPro user spring for a PA3XPro simply because it has a Chord Sequencer; so far it's the only really obvious difference....sonically, at least from the demos we've heard, they are very much alike.
