Maybe I phrased my question wrong, I do not want automatic. Sorry to refer to other brands but on both my Ketron keyboards I have the root directory with midifiles in alphabetical order. From this directory I have made up my own lists like fast, slow, Country etc, and arranged in the order I might use them on a gig. I constantly switch between midifiles and performances and try to have one or the other lined up in advance. So although they are playlists in order I can select my next song or performance randomly .
I am using Songbook Pro on my ipad to select performances and it works perfectly, allowing me to make up any amount of playlists and select any performance easily.
Scrolling with the wheel through over a hundred midifiles is not the fastest when maybe dancers are waiting on me pressing the next button lol. All I can think of would be to have similar genre midifiles on a few usb sticks but again this would not be fast enough during a gig.
I have in the past used a third party midifile player like vanbasco where my playlist are on my laptop screen and songs are easy to select at random but I think the BK9 must have a much easier way of jumping between performances and songs.
