MIDI connection between ForScore and Genos

(1/2) > >>

Rubberdock:
Does anyone have experience with midi connection between ForScore and Genos via MD-BT01.
I have seen in Songbook + that you can select a sheet music page on Songbook + and then Genos is set up with div. registrations.
Pretty smart must be able to do in ForScore.
Have tried setting up ForScore with different midi setups - but nothing works.
Got a lot of help on this wonderful forum - so I wonder if there is someone who can help.

Rubberdock:
Maybe a little hard to understand what I mean - but try to see this very good YouTube page - he's a good guy - has had contact with him about a Genos - but he can not help as he does not know the settings on a Genos keyboard.

His settings are for the North Keyboard.

Rubberdock:
Hi Chris

Thanks for your reply.
I have been to that page and see if there was help - but from what I can see there are more problems than solutions.
The big problem is probably the slightly weak help from ForScore who do not want the big help for their customers as soon as they have received money for their program.
But I'm still struggling for help.

Mr. Rubberdock  ;) ;) ;)

Hi Mr. Rubberdock,

on Genos you have two options to have Registrations switched by receiving external MIDI messages:

1. The "good old" MSB/LSB/ProgramChange method (as known from Tyros 2 - 5 and PSR-S975): This method is relatively complicated to use, because all Registration files used must be stored in one single folder. In addition, the Registration Bank files must be numbered consecutively (with a three-digit number at the beginning of the file name), and only a maximum of 500 Registration files can be used with this method.

These consecutively numbered Reg files are then called up via MIDI as follows:

001 Reg Bank filename A.rgt      MSB=0, LSB=0
002 Reg Bank filename B.rgt      MSB=0, LSB=1
003 Reg Bank filename C.rgt      MSB=0, LSB=2
... ...
128 Reg Bank filename D.rgt      MSB=0, LSB= 127

129 Reg Bank filename E.rgt      MSB=1, LSB= 0
... ...
256 Reg Bank filename F.rgt       MSB=1, LSB=127

257 Reg Bank filename G.rgt      MSB=2, LSB=0
... ...
384 Reg Bank filename H.rgt      MSB=2, LSB=127

385 Reg Bank filename I.rgt       MSB=3, LSB=0
... ...
500 Reg Bank filename J.rgt       MSB=3, LSB=115

The individual Registrations (buttons 1 - 10) are called up via a ProgramChange (0 - 9), which is sent after the MSB and LSB. (On Tyros 2 - 5 and PRS-S975 it's ProgramChange 0 - 7.)

In order for this to work via USB-MIDI or Bluetooth-MIDI from the iPad, a user MIDI template must also be created on the Genos, in which the Part "KEYBOARD" is set in RECEIVE for "Port 1 Channel 1". And the Transmit Channel on the iPad must of course be set to 1.


2. Now the easy way (only available on Genos and PSR-SX models): :)

Each Registration transmits a SysEx string when it is called up, and if exactly this SysEx string is received, this Registration will be called up again later.

Please try the following:

- First make sure that the Bluetooth LE MIDI adapter is connected properly to the Genos (MIDI A IN and OUT). Use a MIDI Template that allows SysEx transfer (e.g. "All Parts").

- On the Genos, select the desired Registration Bank and press the desired Reg Button (1 - 10).

- On the iPad make sure that Bluetooth is ON and the MD-BD01 is shown as "Connected" in the forScore app.

- In forScore call up the desired sheet music. Then go into Metadata List and press "MIDI". Press "Send" at the bottom and then press "Learn ..." in the upcoming menu. (See also the attached picture.)

- Now press the correct Registration button (again) on Genos. The unique SysEx string for this registration is transmitted by the Genos and should be able to be received and recorded by forScore. Then save these settings in forScore.

- When calling up the sheet music concerned in forScore, the SysEx string should then be sent via MIDI and the appropriate Registration should be called up on the Genos.

Unfortunately, I don't own forScore myself, and the forScore Manual (available online and in PDF format) doesn't mention whether SysEx is supported. If this is actually NOT the case (which I do not believe), you would have to use the first method described here, i.e. enter the relevant MSB, LSB and ProgramChange in forScore that should be sent when a song is called up.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris
