PSR-E Series / Re: New PSR E383

« Last post by mikf on Today at 08:58:48 PM »

Unfortunately, while these progressions cover all the normal ‘bulk’ of songs, hardly any songs use the same progression all the way through the song. There are nearly always some departures. I am not sure how the keyboard handles those.

Genos2 / Genos Brazilian packs for Genos 2

« Last post by AndyB on Today at 08:57:54 PM »

Does anyone know if the Brazilian packs that were available for the Genos from the Yamaha Brazilian site are available for the Genos 2.
If not, does anyone have the packs installed on Genos that would be willing to save the styles out and make the styles available that I could load on my Genos 2. Thank You

Genos2 / Pad Voice NewAtmosphere No Sustain

« Last post by Michael Trigoboff on Today at 08:38:05 PM »

I cannot seem to get Pad voice NewAtmosphere to respond to the sustain pedal. is this an intrinsic property of the voice that cannot be changed? Or if it can be changed, where is that setting?

In the Sustain setting for Assignable, I have all four voices checked at the bottom, and Control set to Hold A.

I can accomplish something similar with the LEFT HOLD button, but I am still curious about the situation with respect this to voice and the sustain pedal.

Thanks…

Hi Keyboard Master,

For the E373, the Voice List was still included in the Owner's Manual (there was only a separate "Drum Kit List"). The E383 now has a separate "Data List" (which also contains the Voice List), but it is not yet available. Yamaha will probably add the download link for the Data List soon.


Best regards,
Chris

Thanks anyway.  At least very shortly it’ll be available:

Genos2 / Re: Genos 2 FSX keybed too heavy action issue

« Last post by Amwilburn on Today at 08:04:51 PM »

The Genos1 and the Genos2 have the same keys. There's literally no key difference from my display Genos 1 or display Genos 2 keys. (the differences all lie elsewhere!)

The fact that you tried your colleague's G2 and it felt like you expected it to, tells you there's something off about yours. I'd go back to your dealer,

Genos - General / GrandOrgue for Genos

« Last post by tomsx700 on Today at 07:42:25 PM »

Hi, I'm considering loading GrandOrgue into my Genos 1. Will anyone be able to share a bit about the process and using GrandOrgue?
Thanks in advance,

Genos2 / Genos 2 FSX keybed too heavy action issue

« Last post by Vlada on Today at 07:30:59 PM »

I recently acquired a Genos 2 and while using it I noticed that the FSX semiweighted key action is too heavy and noisy   The action on my Genos 1 and Tyros 3 is noticeably lighter and nicer. I did a direct comparison with a colleague who bought a Genos 2 before Christmas and his action is noticeably lighter than mine - similar to my Genos 1.
I tried putting a 60g weight on the white keys as recommended by friend and on my Genos 2 some of the keys are barely pressed and some remain completely unpressed.

Have any Genos 2 owners noticed a similar problem?
Could someone try the 60g weight test as well?
If it's just a problem with my piece, or a feature of newer production pieces.

I have a problem when playing fast passages where the playing becomes tiring and I am not able to play quickly and precisely. In addition, when the keys are released quickly, they make a loud impact noise against the structure and are felt by the resistance of the spring. I have never had such a problem with Genos 1 and it is very pleasant to play and without fatigue.

BTW, if anyone wants additional hip-hop or whatever DJ styles, I converted DJX-II patterns to DJ styles:

Download 'em. They're free.

All the best -- pj

PSR-E Series / Re: New PSR E383

Hi Chris --

I watched the E383 Style video obsessively. Yamaha seem to use a modified Nashville-type numbering system. Here's some chord progressions that I spotted:

    1645   C  Am F  G     #1
    1625   C  Am Dm G
    1564   C  G  Am F
    1524   C  G  Dm F
    1415   C  F  C  G
    1151   C  C  G  C
   1b741   C  Bb F  C     #7
    2615   Dm Am C  G     #8
    2514   Dm G  C  F     #9
    4536   F  G  Em Am    #11
    4566   F  G  Am Am    #12
   16451   C  Am F  G  C  #23  "Fields of Gold"
    1241   C  Dm F  C     #24
    4251   F  Dm G  C     #25
    1625   C  Am Dm G     #27
    1524   C  G  Dm F     #29
    1415   C  F  C  G     #30
   m1637   Am F  C  G     #37
   m1765   Am G  F  E

I hope I transcribed those correctly. Ujiie is well-known for fast-fingering buttons.

Auto-Chord Play has a parameter which specifies the number of beats to hold each chord: 2, 4, or 8 beats.

The E383 lets you set the key signature for the style to be played. Hopefully, Auto-Chord Play transposes according to the key signature (C/Am or whatever).

Amazing what can be done with 4 chords -- pj

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: Thinking of going from SX900 to Korg PA5X

« Last post by LaHawk on Today at 06:11:02 PM »

I have been using the SX900 for 4 years nearly every day, and have no problems with rattling keys or buttons. I did have Yamaha supplied grease applied to the underlying keybed  (Year One under warranty ) Other than that, I'm good, until possibly the next MOTL Yamaha (or Korg) Arranger.
