Thanks for this, Chris. I'll check it out. At that price, it would be a good bridge between now and if Yamaha adds quality organs to the Genos 2.
Okay, just listened to some demos. Interesting. How do I marry my Android Galaxy Tab A to the Genos? What cable? Thanks...
Thanks for your feedback, Lee!
You need a USB type AB cable ("printer cable"), which you connect to the USB-to-HOST terminal of the Genos. You connect the USB A plug of this cable to the Android device using a so-called "OTG" cable/adapter (USB A socket to USB C or Micro USB plug, depending on the device). It must also be ensured that the Android device used supports "OTG" at all. It may also be necessary to activate this function in the settings.
When establishing the USB connection, a notification may appear on the Android device, where you have to confirm that MIDI data should be transferred.
Note: When using the internal sound chip (connection via the headphone jack) of the Android device, the latency (delay) may be too high to be able to play the app live. In this case you would have to use a suitable external audio interface on the Android device.
P.S.
On the Genos it must be ensured that the keyboard parts are transmitted via MIDI Port
1. I recommend using the preset MIDI template "KBD & Style". The right hand is then transmitted via Port1 / Ch1 ("Upper" part) and the left hand via Port1 / Ch2 ("Lower" part).
Best regards,
Chris
