If you are overdubbing a single part into your DAW. (you have already recorded all the style parts, and adding more).. Record the part from GENOS.. Since SYSEX sends messages to specific DSPS on specific MIDI channels. Take the track from your DAW and go to Genos MIDI/RECEIVE section.. and instead, assign the DAW track back to the same part, rather than to just 'song' recorded from Genos.. that is assign DAW track to RIGHT 1, CHORD 1, PAD, what it originally came from. Then the sysex will properly work.
To save time, I created what I call a MIDI Control sequence, it has some CC events (ones I use most commonly). You can certainly add as many as you want.

MIDI -
https://app.box.com/s/z3ek8mcbkh9wekrd4ezaI record my Genos 'chord' track to DAW, then always play back from there, sync Genos to get clock from your DAW. Then you can overdub additional parts, from different styles, to create a more complex arrangement.. I sometimes record Genos song playback (with me changing Mains parts). Then in Logic, I separate each MIDI channel, and assign to a different track in Logic.. I strip out SYSEX so as not to have Genos play my changing of MAINS sections, or DSP effects.
Then one by one I record MIDI parts onto a separate track into DAW.. Gives you complete control (of course it can become significantly longer, more complex process).. But it allows you to create things impossible, by live playing. If you carefully peruse the MIDI implementation in Genos (going back to Tyros of course, you can see, the programs, put all this access in, knowing some folks would use the Arranger kbd this way. Years ago, I read an article by one of the software designers for Tyros, and he brought up this fact. I should have saved it, because I've never been able to find the web page again. I tend to use the Genos as a 'compositional tool'. By recording Genos output, into your DAW, and displaying it as an orchestral score, it is an extremely valuable teaching tool.
Here is a piece I recently finished. Many of the parts came from Genos, then were modified, edited, copy, pasted. Often I study what Genos played, and then play it myself. Of course I never get it right. But end up with an 'in-between' part of machine and human.

https://app.box.com/s/oaogfxcgeuqiumv6wgocli5lnoci79giI purposely stripped out a lot of Genos 'block chording' in order to achieve a more Classical approach. Sometimes I take the 'chording' of a Genos part and 'mute' it in Logic, it shows up as darkened out, and silent of course. I then write a single note motif.
Here is a picture of what I call a CHORD Reference midi file -
https://app.box.com/s/15uaotf4jvbyfv240a20rvpcdb9skxquThis is made by taking your chord reference track, moving all notes into one octave, then duplicating the octave up/down for six octaves. I then mute all the notes so they are greyed out. In Logic's piano roll editor, I can highlight the melody track I'm working on, and the CHORD Reference track. Then I can easily and quickly create melodic lines, knowing the 'stable notes' of any section. You can/should of course add passing notes for interest (sometimes soften velocity and duration) then go to a stable note (one that's in the current chord).
Although some will find this too much work, taking out the spontaneity of using an arranger chord. It also allows one to create complex pieces. It is also an amazing learning tool. I have learn't more about music using this technique, than some music courses I've taken. The best teacher sometimes is you and your hardware.
Hope this gives you some more ideas. If you have a PC, there are some software programs, which let you fool around with sysex, to really get your Genos to sing.. I just don't seem to have the patience or fortitude to get a real handle on it. I applaud you for experimenting and figuring out how to do more complex things with Cubase and your Genos. I think there are more guys/gals out there using a similar approach in composing. They just don't post to Arranger websites.
Keep up the great work
