Can I  control the  audio songvolume  with  the  foot pedal ?

Not to my knowledge but it is easily controlled by the slider.

Eileen, I find the sliders don't work like sliders on a mixer. The Genos sliders need to be "activated" before they'll change a setting. That is, you need to move them a fair amount before they change a parameter. By the time you move them, you may have over or under shot the original setting by too much or too little. VERY annoying!

I just finished a big Christmas show last night - over 400 people. I was the primary musician with my Genos, backing seven singers. I was using the Multipads and found them a little soft during a song. When I tried moving them up a bit, the lag caused me to overshoot the desired volume. I then had to bring them back down very fast. It was only for a split second, but very annoying! Try getting that right while playing live!

I wish we could set them so they would just move when we move the slider, just like on a mixer. Don't know why Yamaha chose such a stupid architecture! I submit that using the sliders to change the Song volume would be cumbersome and very dangerous at best.

Hi


Found this at Yamaha Denmark: https://dk.yamaha.com/da/products/music_production/accessories/fc7/index.html

Probably available in other markets too.

I used to have one. Worked like an oldfashioned volume pedal at Hammonds etc.

I have had my Fc7 pedal for years but there is no provision to set Audio volume to it.

hi  Eileen

I use  also  a Fc7  pedal but  the  volume of the audio file must change at the  same time with the  same amount. I  can not  do it with  te slider .

Eileen, if the Audio volume is set correctly in the Genos mixer, can't Alfonata use the FC7 pedal to control the overall output of the Audio volume and Accompaniment volume ratio - or did I miss something here? If the Audio volume is all over the map, then it needs to be fixed before we ask the Yamaha engineers to design a dedicated Audio out jack that can be controlled with a pedal . That's how I would do it - make sure the Audio output is fairly steady.
