Genos Styles/OTS/Multi Pads / Re: Are Genos 2 styles bang up to date for modern tunes.

« Last post by Rick D. on April 24, 2024, 02:59:17 PM »

Ron,

I don't think young people have $5500 to spend on a keyboard and besides that there is not too much new music out there worthy of it's on Style.

I am still holding off on the Genos 2, I will likely make my move in the fall as I normally wait a year after the release of a new keyboard to see popular opinion and until they get the bugs worked out. Also the price will come down a bit. This strategy has worked for the last twenty years.

Genos Touch Screen & Live Controls / animated voice graphic on screen

« Last post by georges on April 24, 2024, 02:53:07 PM »

Hello everyone.
With my Genos I have a 19' screen, and it's very good for reading, I'm happy.
Now a question because what I'm asking you I saw on YT, but I forgot to find the link, and I don't remember.
He's a good musician that I don't know
He has a genos, and with his keyboard, he had a screen, with voice animation that scrolled with vertical bars. In fact its screen indicated the animation of these voices R1 R2 R3
So the first question: has anyone seen this before.
Second question, what software allows you to manage the sounds of the Genos, and read them on a screen and how to connect the computer to the Genos for this type of editing?
Because I don't think I can do it directly with the genos and it certainly needs to be done through a computer
It’s like the Master Compressor where you see the vertical bars which indicate the power of the settings
So far I know how to connect a screen to my Genos, but what I'm asking I don't know how to do.
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Thank you Georges

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: Styles from T2

« Last post by DrakeM on April 24, 2024, 02:25:59 PM »

Hello Linos

Yes, your T2 styles will work in your SX900 keyboard but so will T3, T4 and T5 styles work in your keyboard.

So, instead of you using your old T2 styles, you ought to get and use all the T5 styles FIRST. T5 styles will use the better sounding Voices that you have in your SX900 keyboard.

You can get the T5 styles from this page:
https://www.psrtutorial.com/sty/yamaha/Tyros5/tyros_5.html

Then you click on the DARK BLUE category labels to download each of the 10 categories to a USB stick.

BALLAD - 57 Styles
COUNTRY - 35 Styles
DANCE - 50 Styles
ENTERTAINER - 50 Styles
LATIN - 45 Styles
MOVIE&SHOW - 48 Styles
POP&ROCK - 70 Styles
R&B - 53 Styles
SWING&JAZZ - 50 Styles
WORLD - 52 Styles

If you see a style listed not on the T5 in an older keyboard (T2,T3,T4) just click on that keyboard’s page and get those styles too.

PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: VOICE not loud enough

I m playing on my sx900 with 1 splitpoint on D2. So R1, R2 and R3 are the same area. Left of the splitpoint i play de chords. When i uses Some styles the VOICE playing the melody is barely audible. What Can i do?

Thanks

Hi Linos4,

Please note that you can also make (most) voices louder in "Voice Edit". You can use this, for example, if the volume of a keyboard voice in the Mixer is already at 127 and you still want this voice to be a little louder:

Make sure that the relevant keyboard part (e.g. Right 1) is selected. On the Voice Selection display, touch the "Menu" icon and then "Voice Edit" to call up the Voice Edit display. There you can use the "Volume" slider to increase the volume.

Alternatively (or additionally), you could use the "Touch Sensitivity" sliders ("Depth" and "Offset") to make the voice reach a higher volume with the same playing strength.

You can either save the changed voice here as a User Voice with "Save" (and then use THAT voice instead of the relevant Preset voice), or you can simply save the changed settings in a Registration.

If desired, you could also memorize the changed keyboard voice settings (Right 1 - 3 and Left together) to an OTS button. To do this, press the “Memory” button and then the desired OTS button. The STYLE in question must then be re-saved (in the User drive or on the USB stick).

See also the attached screenshot. Please also refer to the section "Editing Voices (Voice Edit)" in the SX900 Reference Manual, starting on page 46. If you don't have the Reference Manual yet, you can download it here:
>>> https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/arranger_workstations/psr-sx900/downloads.html

In this context, note that User Voices can only be used in Keyboard parts (Right 1 - 3, Left), i.e. not in Style parts, MIDI files or Multi Pads.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris

I looked there too, but saw that „latest news“ are from March 2013.

I know, and yet there are posts from the past several days, including today.  It's still a useful forum but apparently hasn't been maintained for quite some time.

I find Yamaha Keyboards have there fair share of head banging styles Plus the DJ ones that are suitable for todays so called music.

"Active" but not "accessible."  I tried to register and was told my account (which I never had) had been deactivated.  I sent the requested email to no avail.  Too bad.

In the past, I have tried all these fixes in reverse on my mother-in-law, but she's still as loud as ever!

Genos - General / Re: Chet Atkins for Genos

Glad to help, Hennry.

Those speaker will work fine. Be careful using hi fi speakers though. A lot of them are not designed to handle sudden transient sounds that musical instruments play. Damage could occur.
