I’m late to this discussion since I’ve been away from my Genos for almost 4 months.  With OS 1.3 I have no issues with the keyboard automatically powering off at a set time.  As a test I set it to turn off in 5 minutes, I did this twice and it did turn off as expected.


Hi Stephen

Thanks for your remarks about returning to the awesome sounds of the Genos in your other thread.
Also thanks for kicking in on this thread.
What my problem is ,, is that yes the machine turns off at 10, 15 and i would suspect at 5 but after many months of a 30
minute shut off the machine refuses to do that.    I have queried whether the 30 minute shut off function is working for
other players..   I do have the update, the machine always worked at 30.   i have followed all the suggestions posed by
previous posters.    Have you yourself tried the 30 minute shut off time following the protocols set in this thread.?????
Hopefully i will try to do a 30 minute shut off today some time and still see if that is the case.   Should not want to have
mud in my eye if the 30 minutes are working again.   BTW,,, still love DingeDong.....   be well

cheers

Elaine,

You're welcome.  Based on your post I just set the Genos to turn off in 30 minutes following the protocols in this thread.   I'll let you know what happens.

Ah, I had forgotten about DingeDong, it's a great tune.  I remember first hearing Michel Vonken playing that tune, once I heard it I just had to learn it.   Have fun with your Genos :)

Elaine and everyone who had the issue.

I tried the automatic turn off feature and 5 minutes worked, 15 minutes worked, 30 minutes DID NOT work.  So I guess I’m in the same situation as others. At least for me I never had mine set to shut off automatically.  It would be embarrassing to be playing a gig and have it power off in the middle of a song.

Here’s an update 3 hours later after my initial test.

The Genos DID shut off after 30 minutes.  I have no explanation why it didn’t work the first time around.

I also test the 5 and 15 minute shut off times and they too worked.

Elaine,

I just tried for the 3rd time and it shut down but on the third test I pulled the front and only USB stick I use with the Genos.  It’s is a baffling problem to say the least, but maybe what Ian found from the user manual explains it. 


There is a note on page 24 of the Genos Owner's Manual about this function!   "When a USB flash drive containing a
large number of files is connected to the
instrument, the execution of the Auto
Power Off function or the Auto Power
Saving function may be postponed,
since the file search index is automatically
updated."

Update Monday April 22.   This morning I set the Genos to shut off at 30 minutes 3 separate times
First time NO USB stick and the keyboard shut down at 30 minutes
Second time USB stick was inserted in the top front port. Keyboard WOULD NOT shut down at 30 minutes
Third time NO USB stick and the keyboard shut down at 30 minutes.

What Ian posted on page 24 confirms the issue in my eyes.
