Hi Toril,
It's probably a good idea to first download the Voice Guide Tutorial from the following link...
https://uk.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/2/1202622/genos_voice_guide_en_tu_a0_text.zipThis file is a text file so it should play on your text reader - there are some notes about using a text reader with it early on in the file.
The above file contains the URL for the actual Voice Guide audio files, but it is not an active hyperlink so I have added it below.
Note that the file is around 507 MB even as a zip archive, which extracts to 677 MB, so unless you have a fast broadband connection, it could take a while!
https://data.yamaha.com/keyboards/arranger_workstations/genos_en_voice_guide_wav.zipI actually purchased a Genos a couple of weeks ago. As I feared, I'm not overly impressed with it so far, and some of that is due to the difficulty of actually seeing the non illuminated black buttons, knobs and sliders against the black case (black on black - very sensible
). I have cataracts forming in my eyes, but they are at an early stage. I was using my Tyros4 in exactly the same location at exactly the same light levels and had no problems seeing all the panel controls, but I will need to use brighter light levels to use Genos! I am getting used to where to find the panel buttons but it would be so much easier if the panel was a more sensible colour! So maybe I will need to use the Voice Guide myself at some point.
Maybe the much anticipated firmware update will sweeten the Genos pill a little, but one thing is for sure - it won't change the colour of the thing!
Regards
Ian
