Hi M8
In Cubase you have the whole style on tracks 9-16
The chord data is in a separate track, the same as Sys ex data as this is information, so the Genos can communicate back and forward between Genos and Cubase.
You must have them two tracks for the rest to work perfectly.
I am not a computer expert, but that is just communication info tracks.
Your chords are split up into several tracks.
What i do with songs is to record quick record on the Genos and transfer to Cubase.
Set the tracks up to hear the midi firing the Genos and then go about editing the lead track with registration changes.
With Chord tracks i look at them and get rid of note particles left over by Genos trying to be perfect. After all it is a machine that likes perfect timing. Yeah! just a machine.. lol
This does add annoying little sounds sometimes.
To deal with that i go to Midi / Functions and scroll down to delete notes.
There you can drag the blue line down in the first little box to a small amount so it does not interfere with the shortest note in your composition ( it just getting rid of tiny bits of rubbish left all over the track). Some tracks are fine and others can be annoying with bits of rubbish leftovers.
Once you have dedcided that, hit delete note notes and it gets rid of all that flack.
After that inspect the chord tracks too see if there are no gaps . If there are, you can adjust.
It does take a little time to get used too.
If you are not too fussy you could ignore that, but it is nice to get clarity.
Once all is looking good, I turn the tracks to waves.
Track one where there are registration changes, i cut the different sections of changes out and put them on separate tracks.
After that it is down to mixing and getting the song sounding as good as my knowledge has taken me so far.
We never stop learning
A lot of it is depends how far you want to go and how deep.
I am annoyed with the way Yamaha have made us import packs in Yem and then making project folder CPI
and installing that from usb and then putting one pack in after and making that a CQI and installing that. What a Palava!!!
.
Loading sounds into the Genos has become rocket science
There should be a button for that!! simply Import and export.
My little rant over!!!!
Have fun
All the Best
