Hi to anyone that can help HELP!!
A big Happy Christmas First!!
Well After putting a Tyros 5 year old Paul Mc Cartney Christmas song into Cubase to bump up for the Genos,
something went wrong as the sound started to garble.
I noticed that the Chord Data and Sys Ex track was missing.
I then took my midi file back to the Genos and saved again and also the setup data.
I then put back into Cubase to convert midi tracks to wave and the garble came back again.
I switched the Genos off and on again and appeared ok for another 5 minutes.
I kept switching the Genos off and on again to finish the audio tracks and suceeded.
I was happy but not really.
After a cup of coffee ,i was back on the Genos to relax and have a practice and enjoy playing.
THEN THE GREMLIN STRUCK!!
Turn Power Off and then on again
omiszrjboo L354What that meant ,i do not know.
I switched off and on again and about 5 minutes on it happened again
Yes , this kept happening every 5 minutes on the dot after taking note.
I rang Yamaha and they were very helpfull .
The man i spoke to said that it maybe that my midi file had upset the machine and tommorrow i may have to walk you through a full factory reset.
He told me to back everything up.
I proceeded to do that , but my usb stick was not recognized ,well, all my Usb sticks and all of my usb drives had Genos data on them.
I went to the full backup and i put my usb stick in and the Genos said Usb found. Pressed backup and it said my usb was not formatted, even though it was.
Well ,my Genos has alzheimer's problems. Is there a doctor in the house !!
In the end i found out that i could save my reg and sound and pad data as it started to recognize the stick at last.
I could not do full backup as as i said it keeps having headaches. It does not recognize any usb drive for backups. Someone out there has got it in for me.
I started to save each registration and each sound and pad user data one by one , BUT EVERY 5 MINUTES I HAD TO SWITCH THE KEYBOARD ON AND OFF AGAIN TO PROCEED FURTHER.
A long boring job , but i managed to save all of my data. That was a sweat.
The funny thing is that i could hear that sound Ping when the keyboard wants to be power saved switch off. I do not have and power save options on.
To sum all up , i am still confused what is going on. Whether it is a corrupt midi file or a memory problem , or like in computers a stack problem.
Tommorrow at 10am i am having a word with the Yamaha guy.
So the next thing would be a full Factory reset and hope and prey for the best .
Otherwise Yamaha will have to deal with the problem
Lucky still have a couple of years on my 5year guarantee
Any thoughts on this matter appreciated
All the Best
