Hi Stephen,

The program I use is MIDI Designer, a great application with many features.

I agree that each of us uses the keyboard according to our needs. There is no bad or good approach. Every approach is good if you are good at it and if it meets what you expect.

Hi John,

you are right, it is difficult to switch from Bank to Bank and choose the songs you want. I know exactly all the locations where which song is located because I have been creating each registration individually for years. It stayed in my memory and I think I could print 80% of my repertoire on paper without looking at the keyboard. I must mention that I actively perform hundreds of songs in my repertoire.
Then came the Playlist. I tried to switch to this way of working because there are some advantages to it. The only reason I don’t use them is because there is no numeric dialing and it’s hard to switch a few hundred numbers forward or backward. I described that at this point in the video.

Playlist on Genos, PSR SX700, PSR SX900

If I had to make everything from scratch, and if there was a numerical selection of Playlists that I mentioned, I would certainly approach the concept, one Bank - one song. I described the advantages in this video.
