Hi tyrosman,
there are several different methods to assign a MIDI Bass Pedal to a Yamaha keyboard like the Genos.
The easiest way is, in my opinion, to use either the LEFT Part or the RIGHT 3 Part for the Voice played by the Bass Pedal:
- Connect the Bass Pedal to the DIN MIDI IN
B socket. Then open the MIDI display (Menu > MIDI) and make sure that the Preset MIDI template "All Parts" is selected.
- Go to "Receive" tab, scroll down to "Port2 Ch1" and select the Keyboard Part to be played by the Bass Pedal. (If the Pedal doesn't transmit on Channel 1, you have to use the line of the correct Channel.)
- Touch "Save" to save your changed MIDI template in User drive. (Use a meaningful name.)
- Make sure that your User MIDI template is selected now.
- Finished!
Another Method is to use an internal SONG channel for the Bass Pedal Voice:
- In this case connect the Bass Pedal to the DIN MIDI IN
A socket and use the Preset MIDI template "All Parts". Make sure the Pedal transmits on Channel 1.
- Now you should hear a Piano Voice when playing the Bass Pedal.
- To change the Bass Pedal Voice just make some little MIDI Song files:
- Load the desired Bass Voice in the RIGHT 1 Part.
- Use "MIDI Quick Recording" to record just one single note with that Bass Voice.
- Save the MIDI Song file with a meaningful name in User drive or to a USB stick
- When you load this MIDI Song file later, the recorded Voice will be set for the SONG Part 1 (which is assigned to Channel 1l, and you can play the Voice by the Bass Pedal.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
