Topic: Seconhand Genos purchase

[Colin D]

Hi Folks,

What is a fair price for a second hand Genos in the UK, I'm thinking of buying one for Gigging?  Is it possible to Clone my existing machine to be the same on another Genos?

Many thanks,

Colin

Hi Colin

Of course, the cloning process comes down to a few steps.
1. upgrade Genos (2) to the same version as Genos (1)
2. Make a backup of Genos (1)
   a) insert the USB stick into the Genos
   b) MENU2> UTILITY> FACTORY RESET / BACKUP
   c) check the box "Include audio files"
   d) click the Backup field
3. Restore Genos (2)
   d) Click the Restore field

You still need to install the same Packages that are in Genos (1) in Genos (2). This requires YEM and the creation of an installation file (ppi or cpi).

I have no information about the price of the used Genos.

Hi Colin,
  It is possible for you to save content that will play on another Genos via USB pen drive. There is one thing you can not do though and that is use any pack content that will not be installed on a Genos you may be playing. If you stick to on board voices you will be fine. If using Third Party styles then make sure they are also saved on the USB drive and linked to any registrations you may be using.

You could do an Advanced Search for Genos on Ebay, selecting Search Including: "Sold Items" which will show the prices the buyer paid. You would have to check each auction to see what extras were offered and the condition of the keyboard.

Dear Colin,

this link may give you an idea of price

In Italy it is quite difficult to find used Genos, and at a quite high price.

Ciao
