Hi Colin,
the Voices of the SONG Parts can NOT directly saved in a Registration. Therfore, as mentioned before, you will have to use a MIDI file to set the Voice.
For example, you can do the following:
• Connect the Bass Pedal to MIDI A IN and make sure that the Pedal sends on Channel 1.
• If the SONG Parts are initialized (directly after switching on th Genos) ,you will hear a Piano Voice when playing the Bass Pedal (and the SONG VOLUME is not turned down).
• To make a "Dummy MIDI file" select the desired (Bass) Voice in the Part RIGHT 1, go to "MIDI Quick Recording" a record only on short (quietly played) note. Save this "Song" and PLAY IT BACK.
• This will set your Bass Voice for SONG Part 1 (= MIDI Channel 1 of MIDI Port 1).
• Make sure that "Quick Start" is enabled in "Song Setting".
• Now you can memorize you newly created "Song" (in this case usually called "Dummy MIDI file") to a REGISTRATION. When you call up that Registration, the Voice for the Bass Pedal will be changed immediately. (You do NOT have to press "Play" for the "Song".)
P.S.
There is also another method:
You could use the RIGHT 3 or LEFT Part for the Bass Pedal. In this case, you can memorize the Voice for the Bass Pedal directly to Registrations. BUT you will loose one Part for your Keyboard playing, of course.
Best regards,
Chris
