Registrations
This is one exiting feature of the DG 90 that captures the over-all settings of the keyboard at any one time and thanks to these special memo-
ry locations, all the control panel settings and the main parameters that control the DG 90 can be called up instantly. Once the Registrations
have been programmed they make it easy to quickly change the Style, the Voice variations, the settings of the effects and above all the auto-
matic call-up of the TXT files. The programming of a Registration does not entail any special menu with all the parameters and values available
and therefore they are to be modified from the single menus to which they belong. It is usually better to start-off from a default setting and
then set just the Style, the Voices and the other parameters without having to go through all the menus. The Registrations, once programmed,
are extremely useful when playing live, however it takes some time to initially program while at home. When programming (and also when play-
ing live), it could be necessary to establish which parameter will be recorded or otherwise in the Registrations. It could indeed be useful to leave
one or a number of parameters free or to disable the call-up function of the parameter status when changing from one registration to anoth-
er. Each feature controlled or managed within a Registration can be enabled or disabled via the dedicated Registration menu found in Utility.
A Register can be called up from a group of 198 registration locations saved in Flash RAM (Block Registration), or from individual registers that
reside on Floppy or Hard Disk (Single Registration). The Block Registration and Single Registration parameters are absolutely identical, but their
management is quite different: For a Register in a Block Registration, all the 198 Registers have to be saved in one single BLOCK REGISTRATION
file. You can have multiple BLOCK REGISTRATION files on disk, each one made up of 198 independent registers. The Single Registration on the
other hand is individual registers always saved as single files on the floppy or on the hard disk. While it is possible to display the Single regis-
trations stored in Hard Disk or in Floppy Disk in a list, this feature is not possible with Block Registrations, whose registers can only be called
up by entering the number using the numeric keypad. It takes less time to load a register from a Block Registration than that from a Single
Registration. The Block Registrations are memorized even when the instrument is turned off, as they are saved in Flash RAM.
CALLING UP AND SAVING A REGISTER OF THE BLOCK REGISTRATION GROUP
Make sure that Block Registration has been selected as the memory location from which to load the Registers. For this purpose, from the main
display page go to F3 Utility and select (if not yet chosen) Block in F7 Registration Mode. The Block Registration group stores 198 Registers
in Flash RAM. Each Register can be selected by enabling the REG. push button (the LED lights up) and then by entering the corresponding 3-fig-
ure number using the numeric keypad (STYLES push buttons).
The name of the Register called up will be displayed in bold print next to the number in the top left corner of the display.
Proceed as follows to save a new Register in a Block Registration, once the desired Style, Tempo, Volumes and Parameters have been set using
the REG. push button:
●
Return to the main page of the display using the EXIT push button.
●
Press SAVE/ENTER.
●
Select F1 Registration.
●
Enter the name of the Register using the keyboard and the CURSOR push buttons.
●
Select the number of the destination memory using the STYLES push buttons.
●
Confirm that the Register is to be saved using F10 Save or cancel it using F5 Escape.
Proceed as follows to save the current 198 registers on board within a Block Registration on disk in one single file with the .REG extension:
●
Press DISK to access the Disk menu.
●
Select the folder on the hard disk by entering the number with the STYLES push buttons, or select the floppy disk with the PAGE +/- push
buttons.
●
Press F3 Save to enable the procedure.
●
Select F8 Registration.
●
In the page that appears you can enter the name of the file using the keyboard keys and the CURSOR +/- push buttons.
●
Confirm the procedure using F10 Exec. or cancel it using F5 Escape.
To load a Block Registration file into the Flash RAM of the DG 90, proceed as follows:
Press DISK to access the menu and use the PAGE +/- push buttons to choose between the floppy and the hard disk or press F5 Folder Choice and
then F8 Registration. Select the file to be loaded from the folder currently enabled using VALUE +/- and then confirm the procedure using F2 Load.
