Korg Performances on current range of keyboards - 01/16/18 12:23 AM
Okay, okay I know I have been here before but...........let's be honest guys even the Genos has doubled its access to direct Registrations. Up until and included the PA3X had the old way of storing complete registrations either in Performances or in the Songbook. PA4X and the new PA motl range have done away with that.
Roland still has them ( user programs), Yamaha has doubled them on the Genos ( registrations), Ketron has got them ( Registrations) but with Korg these days the only way to store a full registration is in the Songbook. It is stupid.
It should be fairly easy for those technician to create a software update that after having made a complete registration to give you the choice via the dropdown menu: " store in Songbook, or store as a Performance under the current Keyboard Set buttons, which were originally the Performance buttons anyway...)
I know that those of you who gig will set up setlist etc.etc. but for fast access and lots of variations within the touch of one button the old performances are/were absolutely great.
Besides the whole concept with Set List becomes rather confusing.
For those of you not yet convinced: once you have a worked out a new registration and want to store it in the songbook you have to perform quite a few tasks and to refind it needs pushing and scrolling. With the old Performances storing was a piece of cake and recalling a performance only required one button and a choice of 8 in the touchscreen. Capisce ?
I am not saying they should cancel anything on the present range.I am merely suggesting they should ADD the old Performances (= total registrations) within the current range of their keyboards
