Sharing with you my very simple but very useful mod on the Genos.
Everyone should have by now found that when using the Genos rotary encoders, you never know - especially on dim light - where the encoder is pointing to.
Well, with this mod that difficulty is over !
Made with 1 euro ladies white nail varnish + 1 euro baby cotton buds
NOTE: Do the procedure 1 cap at a time!
1- prepare 6 baby coton buds already dipped in acetone nail remover to clean the varnish excess.
2- gently pull all six knob caps uppwards until they come out of their shaft.
3- with a thin object (I used a small metal wire which ties USB cables when new, plus lots of other electronic stuff), dip the wire tip on the varnish.
4. apply the varnish on the small cap dent, even if it comes out of the dent a little bit.
5- with the cotton bud already dipped on acetone, clean the varnish excess left and right of the dent.
And thats it!
No need to shop online for expensive knob caps that most probably woudnt fit because the Genos "D shaft knob caps" dent points to a different direction comparing to standard "D shaft knob caps".
P.S. Yes I also was affraid of ruining the original Yamaha caps but the varnish gives you time to apply (before drying) and use the acetone to wipe the excess clean
