PSR-SX900/SX700/SX600 / Re: How can I quickly switch on/off the "vocal harmony" function

« Last post by CPAC on Today at 01:27:59 AM »

Hi Drake,
I am just about to get either a used genos or more likely a SX900 but don't have it yet so I misunderstood your last post about setting up different harmony settings.  Your first sentence said, "I also use the registration method".  Your last sentence said, "I never use a registration for that task...".  I know you have a lot of experience performing and I hope to get into it one day.  I understand what you said about having different registrations with different mike/reverb settings.  I just got confused about what you meant at the end about taking the time to set up custom styles and not letting registrations do that.

Thanks,
Chris

Genos Registrations & Playlist / Re: Save Status of Freeze button in Registration

« Last post by jazzy_beat on Today at 01:16:46 AM »

No, the status of the Freeze button cannot be saved in Registrations.

The purpose of the Freeze function is that the parameter group(s) previously set in the Freeze setting display (press "Direct Access > Freeze") can no longer be changed by Registrations, OTS or MIDI files. However, you can easily edit your registrations so that certain parameter groups are not changed when a registration is called up.

For example, if you don't want a particular registration to switch the current style, just re-memorize each registration button "back to itself", but with the Style box unticked (and at least with the Voice and Keyboard Harmony boxes ticked). Then re-save the bank.

Many thanks Chris for your help, this is exactly the solution I needed...!

You probably want Parameter Lock. Take a look into that.

Genos Speakers / Foot Pedals / Re: Yamaha HS Speaker Recommendation

« Last post by MadrasGiaguari on Today at 12:49:22 AM »

Dear Rick,

I play my Genos (volume knob at 3/4) with a pair of HS8 (volume at 1/2), placed on Konig&Meyer stands set at hears height, in my living room, which is 750 square feet large.

They sound PERFECTLY any frequencies, despite technical specifications. Don't need Subwoofer: low frequencies sound perfectly.

By connecting Genos directly to the HS8 (I have a Mackie mixer, but tested that is better without) you get a clear, not manipulated sound.

HS7, that I also tested, are Ok, but weak on low frequencies: the speaker diameter makes a big difference.

When I want/need to play less loud, just adjust Genos volume knob at 1/2, and I still get good sound.

Finally, IMHO HS8 have an excellent quality/price ratio, if compared to many equivalent powered monitors from other brands, that I tested.

Ciao,

Angelo

If you are trying to play by ear here is a great 17 video lesson series.

Keep in mind you can TRANSPOSE the "chords" to every song you want to play into the key of C. By doing so, you will only need to LEARN one key to play on your keyboard (the key of C). That way you can memorize the scale quickly and generally you won't be using the black keys at all.

You can always use the TRANSPOSE key on your keyboard to sound like you are playing and any key you need or want to. Use the power of your HIGH TECH keyboard to your advantage. It will make learning to play more fun and you will enjoy playing it more often.
