Mick4452 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello Group! I just signed up as a member within the last hour. Day 2 of purchasing a Demo PX560 (upgraded from the 350). Upon power up, I Reset to Factory defaults...for obvious reasons. I've reviewed the manual and still not clear on what I should be seeing - IE: To verify that the 24 Banks / 96 Registrations have been re-set...or deleted? After resetting to factory: I see that ALL 96 registrations have various settings. I expected them all to be "BLANK", for lack of a better word. 1. Is this normal? 2. And/or are these Registration settings merely suggested settings from Casio/Factory? 3. IF SO, then as I find personalized preferences - I am just to overwrite/save my new setting on top of the existing Banks/Registrations? Is that how this deal works? Thank you in Advance for clarification! Mick4452/Indianapolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Welcome to the forums Mick. Congrats on your new PX-560! Answers to your questions are yes, yes, and yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4452 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Brad - Many thanks - That Explains a lot! One last question if you don't mind. I may have heard from Mike Martin on a pod cast during my research... Regarding a software that can be utilized to manage these 96 Registrations? He may have talked about a set list for the 5S. IE: Printable reference list of the current Banks 1-24...or Registrations 1-96 -- Maybe something that can be exported? I can see myself creating an excel list of the Banks/Registrations list, so I know where to find these settings without scrolling thru the menu. Any thoughts? THX once again.

Jokeyman123 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 so far, only individual users have created set lists for their registrations-I just jot down small notes to remind me-but there is no particular software or any docs I've found from Casio that list the preset registrations-you would have to compile a list of your own, as far as I know. Excel would work. Unfortunately, I've never seen a keyboard with registrations that makes keeping track of these easy. i think there is one poster here somewhere that has done this, but don't recall if it is for the PX560 or another Casio. one thing i did right away-i saved the registrations in one file on the thumb drive, it is a "ZRA" file-saves all the registrations-doesn't take much space on the drive and in case you accidentally overwrite a registration by mistake (not that I've done that) only takes less than a minute to restore all your registrations in one shot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking about this same thing, and I guess the only option is to make your own list, on Excel, Word or just a text file. You cannot assign a name to each registration, so you either have a good memory or write down what you need. Similarly, I'm planning on including in this list my favorite tones and rhythms, so I spend less time looking for an appropriate one. 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 There is another poster here who has created a rather genius software solution to renaming rhythms from the default cryptic ones that don't always match with what you name them in software-if you are creating your own. I'm thinking out loud if he might do the same in relation to registrations-would be a very powerful and useful bit of software-but not easily done. I'd program it myself but I don't recall if the midi implementation even allows for accessing the registration parameters. if i have time, I'll find his posts and ring him up here. or if you'se guys can find him-with my 100 software midi programs, i can't seem to find his program which i have installed and used, and it works. Chandler also knows this renaming program and is a heavy beta tester for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4452 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Many thanks for replies on this topic. I'll surely research the manual on the process of saving registrations to a "ZRA" file (that's a new one on me)...Using a thumb drive. And/or using a simple excel file sounds like a good idea as well. I can see already, how easy it can be to "forget" where the favorite settings are located within the Registration banks. What a great forum - Already diggin' hanging-out with you guys after just 2 days. 🎹👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
