Dear friends, Happy new year!
Since Chris made available the Genos2 Preset Styles (thank you again Chris, so much!), I loaded all of them on my Genos1, selected the new ones I could use for the music genres I play, and started to adapt to Genos, using exclusively the Genos1 on board tools, no external software.
In order to prevent possible disappointments, I prefer to summarize what I basically did:
-add voices where missing (because Genos2 uses some that are not available on Genos1)
-adjust volume of the tracks, to get a decent balance;
-often muted some track on Var1 and Var2 to create a Crescendo feel within the accompaniment;
-used Assembly function in some case, within the Style or from other Styles;
-add the Kick on some styles (again, because Genos2 uses different Drum Kits with a different drum mapping)
-edit Drum and/or Percussion track when needed;
-select a Reverb effect available in Genos1;
-change most of OTS, to better exploit the huge availability of Genos1 voices (often added Choir voices that IMHO deserve more appreciation), and with frequent Harmony function (almost absent in Preset OTS).
Of course this work was made on my personal taste and needs. Sometimes the Style is quite altered. This could eventually not match the taste and the requirements of other Genos1 owners.
But may be this job could be interesting for some Forum members (I hope…).
About the name of the Styles, let’s make an example:
-8Rk 072 IrishPopRock G2:
Where:
-8 is the Style family (8 Beats); the original ICON helps anyway to get the original group;
-Rk is the sub-Style family (Rock)
-072 is the tempo
-IrishPopRock is the original Genos2 Style name
-G2 indicates that is a Style originally in Genos 2
Please note that in order to balance as I like the OTS voices with the Style tracks, my setting of the Style volume is 70. But obviously anyone can do this setting at his own taste.
Most of these Styles are fully NEW to Genos1. You can download these Styles from the following link:

Sorry for any mistake you will eventually find….
Ciao,
