Hi Lacko.

  Unable to find anything and not much out there on this topic. I guess at this point I just live with this behavior. 

    Thanks.             dom

Genos2 / Re: Discovered an error in the "Mellow Trombone" sound in the Genos2 Complete

« Last post by Bill on Today at 01:16:42 PM »

PS: if you play with the "Mellow Trombone" sound in the future, sooner or later you will encounter the problem, and if you then fly out of your chair, just think of this post!
But hey, then there's nothing to worry about, there are those who hear better

Sarcasm will earn you many friends !!

I have just started posting replies on the forum. I notice that the time stamp is not in my local time. Can someone advise me how to do this as I have been unable to find any mention of this in the HELP section.

Did you calibrate your touch screen before you used it. I have had no problem with mine.

Genos2 / Vconsole and Genos 2

« Last post by AndyB on Today at 01:00:14 PM »

Has anyone been able to get V-Console from Bee software to work with Genos 2? I had it working perfectly with Tyros 5 my previous keyboard, now exchanged the Tyros 5 for New Genos and can not find out how to set up the V-Console with the new Keyboard. Bee software have not replied to emails. Beginning to wish I had just gone for the Original Genos, having a few issues with the Genos 2 a factory reset solved the strange touch screen issue, where some parts of the screen would not respond to touch. But we should not be having issues, with a £5k keyboard.

Thank you for any help

Genos2 / Re: Discovered an error in the "Mellow Trombone" sound in the Genos2 Complete

I made it happen, but in stead of "Play the notes D4-A4 or E4-Bb4 quickly in quick succession" I held down D4 and played the A4 a couple of times; then, due to the 'glide effect' you get to hear a weird high pitched sound.
But I wonder if a trombone is played that way.

@musicman01
Did you get the modified pack by email or is there a link to a download?
There is no updated pack on the Yamaha hub.

Genos2 / Re: New firmware 1.04 Genos2

Hi Mark

Thank you for your response, the only other way (without the motorised sliders) would have been to use a centralised sliding encoder. Any movement in either direction would result in an immediate response, and when the knob is released it returns via a spring much like a mini single way joystick but the set value remains where you set it.  The problem is that the sliders would not look like organ sliders. They don’t now, because the position of the knob is not a true reflection of the value.  Another disaster for Yamaha. You’re Dammed if you do, and dammed if you don’t.
I feel like a song coming on “QUE SERA SERA”.

It is a matter of which method is the lesser (evil) of all the work arounds.
I solved the problem a long while ago using an IPAD, the problem is that I only have the one Ipad and I use it for other things.

PSR-S970/S770/S670 (SFF2) / Re: Backup expansion packs from keyboard

« Last post by overover on Yesterday at 11:51:15 PM »

Greetings to everyone !
Please, can someone enlighten me
On my Yamaha PSR-S670 organ, I installed a year ago, an unprotected .ppf or .ppi package, as it were, from the Internet, with the help of the computer and a USB stick.

Since then, I have modified several things through the organ and in that package ... (at the moment, it sounds much better than it was at the beginning) ... until I reached a final form, without the help of a computer or an external usb stick. (everything I modified and added was done only from the organ's buttons)

...

Hi sefulretelei,

for your information: I removed your second, identical post in the "Recover expansion pack" thread because one post per request is sufficient. Multi-posting just confuses users.


Best regards,
Chris

Now a friend bought an organ of the same model, and I want to transfer to him the form of the final package from me from the organ, so that the organ can also sound his identical to mine .
I would like to export everything I have in the organ in the form of a single file ( .ppi or .ppf ), in the same way as I uploaded it from the computer to the organ, but in the opposite direction ... to put it back as - he would say, with the present changes ...

For the Yamaha PSR-S550 it was simple, there is a file.bup) ... For the Yamaha PSR-S550 what is to be done
Thank you in advance and I wish you a wonderful year !!!

Genos2 / Re: New firmware 1.04 Genos2

Hi John and AndyB

Like you I do not like the sliders. They should have been motorised ones but they are not.

Yamaha have designed the sliders so they do not actually respond until you reach the point where the position matches to actual volume which the style has set.  You do not need to move them up AND down several times, simply move them in the direction needed as shown by the LED’s, and from that point they will work.

The only other way Yamaha could utilise is for an instant response, however that way you will get a massive and sudden change in volume.

Either way is not good, at least Yamaha should at least give us the choice by a menu setup.

Bill

100% this. I get that previously on G1, people complained that accidentally touching a slider could make a channel's volume jump unexpectedly, but with the "match reading and *then* let you adjust" setting, it's often frustrating if you're looking at the main screen or your hands, and you're trying to figure out where the volume was set to before it will then allow you to adjust it. Agree; they should've let you choose 1 setting or the other, or simply gone all the way and avoided the problem with motorized faders (which of course would cost more).

the next best thing they could do is scale it as you're approaching the value. EG the old volume was set at 127, your fader is at the bottom, so now you have to slap it all the way up to be able to bring it down; they should've implemented a velocity of volume change so that if they detect you're heading rapidly upwards towards the volume you want to bring down, maybe start changing it to the *actual* position of the slider (gradually, like a cross fade) once you're say within velocity/2 of the actual dest value.

Would prevent wild jumps, but also people having to go *past* the old value in order to start getting any movement.

Same goes with the other mode (like on G1), where it instantly jumps to the value you've just accidentally flicked it to? Why not have a fixed velocity change so if the stored value of volume was 83, and the fader was at 50 when I accidentally touched it, don't instantly jump to 50. Gradually decrease it. (like 25 velocity values every second, so it take a little over 1s to move from 83 to 50). Won't be so jarring, especially when you accidentally flick to a much higher velocity.
