I have been toying with a new way of organising banks of keyboard sets on my Korg Pa700.
Up until now I have been organising keyboard sets in categories by type of sounds, ie Piano, Sax etc etc.
What I have been thinking it with is each page can store a bank of 8 keyboard sets.
Now each page could contain a bank of keyboard sets that would fit a particular style of music. For example a page of keyboard sets to fit a country ballad, or page of sets for ballroom music, or page for Christmas Music.
But the first page would be like base keyboard sets (sounds that could be used with most songs), these pages of keyboard sets could also be used as keyboard sets for styles and / or songbook entries.
Just a bit of brain storming, what do you think ? Interested in getting your feed back on this system.

This is an excellent idea, which amazingly no manufacturer has come up with.
I got a similar idea a few days ago, when I organized new sounds - I saw that some sounds are better suited for certain genres than others, which I have also attached as a description when this is experienced.
This is especially the case with drum kits.

This system should also work with tyros registrations. Keyboard sets in instrument categories can still be used for your pallet, but If you for example had a page for big band registrations (keyboard sets) then rather than being restricted you can use this page / bank for multiple big band songs.
It’s a bit like a Swiss Army knife having resources for most situations.
You Base registration would be like a home page that would fit most styles.
Only thing with Korg is you can’t name an individual page, just each bank.
Possible solution if the first keyboard set / registration is alway a piano set then you could name the first set to Big Band.
What are your thoughts.
Next question for your Base Registration / Keyboard Set (One bank fits all) what sounds would you use in your first 8 sets / 8 registration buttons.
