Hi all,
Currently Yamaha does not seem to treat all assignable buttons equally.
By which I mean that the list of functions that can be assigned to each category of buttons seems to differ.
There may be others, but I consider the following 4 categories as assignable buttons
1) The Rotary SP/Assignable button at the left of Genos
2) The Assignable buttons A,B,C,D,E,F at the right of Genos
3) The FOOT pedals (Externals pedals also known as sustain pedals connected to the back of Genos)
4) The buttons on MFC10 like MIDI devices, connected through MIDI.
In the case of categories 3 an 4, I am of course only referring to simple buttons and not to expression pedal like devices. It is normal that the latter should have different functions assignable to them such as "volume" or "Wah Wah" ... which in their turn, are of not much use to simple buttons
I do not think that the reason that Yamaha chooses to walk this path can be a technical one, as internally, Genos, is 'only' a computer .....
Myself I am using a PK6 bas pedal. I use it sometimes for playing bass, and sometimes as a MIDI controller. In the latter case, configured in Genos as MFC10.
As MIDI controller, it serves me well for triggering rhythm breaks, registration button advancing...
But I had also loved to use it as trigger for the new 'Half Bar Fill In' and for the 'organ rotary slow/fast'
And I currently cannot do that, because those assignments are not in the MFC10 list of assignable functions. A pity !
So I wish Yamaha would make that list of assignable functions equal for all button categories. It may also be easier for them to manage as well ....
