Topic: Updated Genos1 styles

[Luluc]

Hi all,

The new Genos2 offers 250 new styles playable only on the Genos2.
In the Genos2 release, Genos1 styles have been updated.

For the Genos1, is it wortwhile to stop using on-board Genos1 styles and to use the updated ones ?
As far I understand, updated styles should not require specific Genos2  voices/drumsets/FX.

Thanks

Hi Luluc,

From my experience, factory styles would usually only sound authentic and correct for the instrument it was designed for, even if they also feature in other models. For example, even if all the tracks are present, the effects may differ or may not even be present in the instrument (like in the case of G1 vs G2 effects), which would alter it's intended sound.

So to answer your question, I would probably stick with using the Genos1 version of the style even if its present in Genos2 because there will always be some differences and you would almost always need to tweak it which I would find pointless if you already have the same style in the G1.

Hope this makes sense.
Danny.

I would expect that reworked versions of the G1 styles for G2 would not work as well on G1 as the original versions.

The G2 versions of those styles will be using new voices, new effects and new drum kits. For example they will be using the REV reverbs, so when you load the G2 style onto G1 it would have no reverb.

I agree -- probably not worth the effort. -- pj
