Hi Babette
Well I put it this way from my obvervations.
Genos and using Yamaha midi driver through the computer back to your Genos and then speakers is not perfect.
It coud be a driver or Sys Ex
Problems do go away if you just multitrack with instruments all on separate tracks.
If you engage your Genos Song sequencer and play a song straight through using registrations then you get all sorts of problems in Cubase.
This now means that your track 1 has program changes throughout the song and the styles section would be all in one if you make a style change with different tempo.
This is a quick way to making a song.
When you just want to make minor edits to your timing and maybe note lengths on your lead playing all goes well until you stop and start again.
The sound sometimes changes to drums going manic to different sound levels or even a different instrument sound sounding odd.
This can be frustrating and time consuming.
You can get over this by ignoring the strangeness and go back to the beginning of a song or go back to where the last program change occurred and the Genos plays alright again until you make some edits and restart where you left off.
Last night because of this strangeness i have decided to separate all tracks for Cubase which worked on the Oxygene 8 track i made.
Using Sonarworks for my room ,i made a few adjustments and now i am happy with that . It may not be in the upper reaches of mixing yet, but i am getting there.
So all of this was just using the Genos /Yamaha midi driver and straight through record including registration changes.
When i start to mix my song i have to change my output leads over as one set goes to a hum destroyer and then to my DXR 8's.
The other set goes to the Focusrite 6i6 which is linked to my computer and Focal Alpha monitors.
Now i can use the Genos and VST. So now i have clean connections going to DXR's and for recording purposes using the Focusrite and Focal Alpha speakers .
I put my midi fle of the song i made on usb and then import to Cubase with all the right settings so you can hear everything.
Now i notice that my midi song plays straight through without any funny glitches or strange anomalies even if i stop and start anywhere in the song and make edits.
Well something is right or wrong here and it has to down to SYS EX communication or drivers in my humble opinion.
I may be wrong as someone with more technical knowledge may advise. I will have to test this more to see if this stays stable, but this is what i am getting at the moment
Now i can record the midi to wave in Cubase without the glitches and it works. At the moment!! As we all know things can have little nasty anomalies.
The Genos is a great instrument , i am not denying that. I have just got to get stability and that will come trying hard as i can to improve.
This is all of my observations after having Cubase now for 6 months
I will say to those with Cubase that using a sound device is better for editing the Genos sound sequencer midi file than just using the Midi driver and a sound device shut off . It would be great to get some feedback on what i have said.
Now I have got this far I am writing all down so my memory does not get fuzzed.
I have got good ears still and know the quality that i want and i have or nearly got used to frequencies using EQ, but i have to master all the other things. time and profanities
will sort that out i am sure.
Only a couple of day's now for the Genos to turn into a stealth craft.
All the Best
John
