Yamaha PSR-SX Forum • A question about registrations and multi pad patterns

$

Hello all. Now a few months into learning both keyboard and the psr world, and I’m finally starting to learn about Registrations. I continue to be very impressed with the 920. I can see why Bogdan and others have said they are years into working with their keyboards and still learning new things it can do.

I have a question about registrations and the multi pad controls.
(I know I have a lot to learn about both of these topics, so I apologize if this question demonstrates my current lack of understanding…)

Here is what I see how to do:
Start a style and a multipad: e.g. PianoArpeggio #3
Change to a different registration memory, which has a different multipad bank selected, and then press one of those to start a pattern, for example 3-4BeatAccordian pattern #2

At this point I have both PianoArpeggio #3 and 3-4BeatAccordian #2 running along with some variant of the style.

Here is what I’m confused about:
I would like to, at this point, switch to the multi pads as follows:
From PianoArpeggio #3 to #2
From 3-4BeatAccordian pattern #2 to #3

(Not specifically these numbers, could be any two that differ from what I have running at this point, where you stop two and play two different ones. )

I could, I suppose cycle through like this
:
Stop multipad
Change registration memory (and thus multi pad selection) and start PianoArpeggio #2
Change registration memory and start 3-4BeatAccordian pattern #3

But, of course that’s impossible to do in time for the next section of the song, and it would mess with the variation of the Style I’m running. (Or I could try to use the Multi Pad Control’s Select button, but that would be even slower.)

So, questions:
Is it possible somehow to accomplish this with multi pad controls via registrations memories?
They’re already there providing a nice way to add some texturing, and it seems that there should be some way to use them in this way…

Or, is it possible to do this with style edits? Like, is there some way to copy the multi pad pattern into the style? I’m pretty sure that in theory you could build a style with these patterns in there from scratch, and then cycle through variations, but that’s way beyond my ability at this stage (and would limit you to 4 variations).

Maybe it’s just not possible to do this unless you have the time to stop and make selections?

Any guidance (or direction to where I can learn) would be much appreciated.

-Scott
