Genos Registrations & Playlist / Re: Registration Saving to USB .. is style copied ?

« Last post by Fred Smith on Today at 05:24:01 PM »

Best practises suggestions on the form is ………to save your registrations to USB stick.

I would not say this is best practice, but if it works for you, fine.

Cheers,
Fred

Genos - General / Re: Genos info data encrypted software

« Last post by BogdanH on Today at 04:49:28 PM »

hi Hennry,
If you needed to give info data, then pack is probably encrypted and can be used only on your keyboard. If you install such pack in your keyboard, then you can only make copies of styles (which can then be used on another keyboard). However, you can't make copies of voices (if pack contains any). If pack contains voices, then those voices are most probably used in those styles.. means, if styles are used on another keyboard, then those styles won't sound properly (because custom voices are missing).

Genos - General / Re: Genos info data encrypted software

Hi Hennry,

The current, protected "now free" Expansion Packs from Yamaha (.cpf format) can be installed on every Genos (and of course all unprotected .ppf packs as well). However, if you have older, paid Yamaha packs or paid third-party packs installed on your current Genos (also in protected .cpf format), you CANNOT install them on another Genos, as such packs are associated with a specific Instrument ID (.n27 Instrument Info file).


Best regards,
Chris

Genos - General / Re: Free GNS-MS01 Speakers with new Genos

« Last post by overover on Today at 03:45:19 PM »

My opinion on the Genos speakers:

The GNS-MS01 speaker system is better than its reputation. Its sound is completely sufficient for many home users (who "just want to play").

However, if you want to create professional Recordings that also sound as good as possible on other speakers, it is advisable to use good studio monitor speakers and good studio headphones.


Best regards,
Chris

Genos Registrations & Playlist / Re: Registration Saving to USB .. is style copied ?

« Last post by johan on Today at 03:35:56 PM »

I do it the same way as Graham: I always copy the style to the internal user section of the keyboard before using it in a registration. This way all my registrations always work whatever memory stick is inserted (or even without any stick). And I can at any time reorganise the structure of my memory stick or remane style files without any impact on my registrations.

I have the HS8s and they do sound great, however....
The general consensus is you don't need a subwoofer with 8 inch speakers.
I'm not so sure, there seems a general lack of bass to me. Certainly when compared to music and sound from my tv surround system. I will probably get a subwoofer at some point to improve the sound a bit. ...

Hi Andrew,

I recommend to use the Yamaha HS8S Active Studio Subwoofer in connection with your HS8 Studio Monitors. You will certainly not be disappointed.

I use the HS8S sub with a pair of Yamaha MSP5 Studio Active Monitors (that, as far as I know, are unfortunately discontinued).


Best regards,
Chris

Genos - General / Re: Genos info data encrypted software

I should have made an important point which I forgot. The software is on a usb stick, which has to be processed through YEM. I assume it’s encrypted because I had to give the info data. Therefore, my question should have been can the contents of the usb be extracted to YEM for a different Genos?

I have Beyerdynamic DT Pro 770 headphones - everyone raves about them, yet my bluetooth Marshall Major IV sound far better in my experience: clearer and more bass: more exciting and clearer vocals with regular music. Obviously I can't use bluetooth headphones during music making and I tend to only use the Marshalls for listening afterwards (even though there is a cable connection). It is at THAT point in my music making process I enjoy what I've recorded the absolute best: listening through the Marshalls. So the expensive Yamaha speakers or supposed high quality headphones are not even the best audio experience for me.
If the Marshalls would break, it would be the first thing I would replace. I can't say the same thing about the Yamaha speakers or Beyerdynamic headphones.

Point I'm making is whatever you read or hear or what is supposed to be objectively the best or better, is not necessarily how you are going to perceive sound yourself at all.

The Genos speakers seem very convenient. If Yamaha throws them in when you buy the keyboard, why say no?
