Hi Kaaralo,
I did not see you mention style names before but there must be no spaces before the Name of the style. If there are it will not usually let you save it. It will say( a period or a space is not allowed at the top of the file name).
This also applies to any other title you may save on other sections and has always been this way on Yamaha keyboards.
Thanks Eileen,
I was aware of "there must be no spaces before the Name of the Style" (and as a fact by analogy I have never put a space in
front of anything) and YAMAHA has in many cases as you point out spoiled us by giving us a warning messages when we do something wrong. In this case the problem was not a space
before the name but
within the name of the style like this
d
spacespacespaceDixieland
which when changed to d
dotdotdotDixieland
removed the problem I have had with the styles that did work on the Tyros from where they were copied but did corrupt the reg banks on Genos.
And for that non working style names with spaces in the name there was no warning. Admittedly you cannot expect warnings for all situations. BTW I love the English saying: "nothing can be made fool proof because fools are so ingenious" (Was it Murphy?)
So finally the problem that has kept me from buying the Genos has been solved so I now have the lighter, less bulky keyboard with the sliders I wanted. Sincere thanks to you Eileen and everyone who has wasted their time trying to help me..
One more thing I believe might be of interest:
It is an old rule, "Do not use
wall outlets for electronic products that are at a distance as that may induce "hum slings" even in grounded outlets" (which in practical terms means, use one wall-outlet and an extension cable with the necessary multiple plug inputs.) It seems Tyros was somehow exceptionally well hum- shielded internally because in a decade I never had that problem
though sometimes I had to disregard above rule.
On my last gig somebody for some reason I do not know (while I was having a snack) connected one of my active speakers to another wall outlet than to which my Genos was connected. When I came back I felt someone must have trod on a cable and ruptured the grounding (which is the normal reason for 60 hz hum) and started checking all cables instead of the mains cables which were the reason.
So the old rule should be respected, which of course when you are aware of it is no problem at all.
Some of this maybe should again be on a different thread, if so please Eileen help me by putting just the information where it belongs. After being awarded the honorary title of "The Clown in the White Jacket" I feel I better not do it myself.
Cheers
Kaarlo
