Dear friends,
searched in the Forum and Manuals, but haven't found an answer. The question refers to STYLE PLAY mode (not SONG MODE).
As we all know, there are 4/4 songs that in some part have a 2/4 beat. When playing that kind of song, once you get to the 2/4 beat part, continuing on gets wrong, of course.
If I try to change the all style (in STYLE CREATOR mode) from 4/4 to 2/4, a message shows that if I continue, Genos will clear all parts and I should reprogram the style.....from scratch!
The way I do compromise an existing 4/4 style with the need of having some 2/4 beats, is to activate (before starting to play the style) BOTH Sync Start and SYNC STOP buttons.
This way, when the 2/4 beat arrives i keep playing, and when the 2/4 beat ends I LIFT my hands form the keyboard (for a minimum time, almost null) and then I press again the keys: this way the next (4/4) beat starts at the right time. And so on.
Obviously I don't like to much my method, as it leaves an even minimum lack of accompaniment, and also does not allow me, during that action, to keep the accompaniment to flow automatically to may do other actions (for, as an example, to change an OTS, to change the Variation, ecc.).
I know that from OS 2.0 on there is the STYLE SECTION RESET function, that could fits for this need. But to activate it from the keyboard I should press the TAP TEMPO button, and unfortunately I have 2 hands only....
The solution would be to add a pedal for switching on this function.
My question is, in alternative to the Style Section Reset, is there any chance to change a style from 4/4 to 2/4, without having to reprogram the style from scratch?
Thank you,
Angelo
