whcanetoad,

The registration system capable of holding 'scenes' of songs, together with related MP3, Wave, Text, Midifiles, instant voices and other registrations all accessible from 1 screen is called "BLOCK REGISTRATIONS".

In other words *trying to mimic* the set up you have described above on the Yamaha units, you would set up:-

* Your song intro (style, voice, transpose, tempo ... etc) and store in REGISTRATION 1.
* Your song verse 1 (style, voice, transpose, tempo, footswitch setting, midi setup ... etc) and store in REGISTRATION 2.
* Your song chorus/refrain (style, voice .... etc) and store in REGISTRATION 3.
* Your song verse 2 .... etc....as separate files

*** You now go to BLOCK REGISTRATION ... CREATE ... and select and MAP to F1-F20 side screen buttons, the following:-
* The REGISTRATIONS you have set up above (REG1, REG2....etc).
* The Audio files (Mp3, Wave) that you may use or play along with or sync to/with any of the above registrations
* The Midifiles that you may use within this song or play along with....
* The Text file(s) you may want to use with this song ....
* The direct voice (in addition to that saved in the registration) you may want to have direct access to ....

... AND SAVE/STORE and name AS A BLOCK REGISTRATION with your own name.

Now, when you LOAD this BLOCK REGISTRATION, it will load all the single registrations, associated audio files, text ... etc just as you programmed them (adjacent to the F1-F10 buttons to the side of the screen ... similar to your Yamaha's Registrations 1-8). The extra bonus here with KETRON is you can store up to 20 registrations/Audio files/Midifiles/Text/Voices/Program Voices or combination thereof within 1 BLOCK REGISTRATION (that is 12 more registers than Yamaha).

You can create 9,999 BLOCK REGISTRATIONS!!!!

Once loaded, the corresponding registratiion(s) (song verses and parts) will be displayed next to F1-F20). Simply press the corresponding F1-F20 to instantly load/play it's content. You can program the BLOCK register such that the content should start playing immediately (once you press the corresponding F1-F20 registration/audio/midi/text file), OR ... start playing at the beginning of the next measure!

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,
