Style Types (Characteristics)
The particular type of Style is indicated the upper left of the Style name in the Style Selection display. The defining
characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.
Session
For information on these types, refer to “Style Characteristics” in the Owner’s Manual.
Free Play
DJ
+Audio
The Audio Styles (+Audio) have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio
musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience
and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive
potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to reproduce using
the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio to follow your
tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.
Audio Styles can be played back and controlled by this instrument; however, by default the data is
not included on this instrument. Audio Styles or Expansion Packs that contain Audio Styles may be
available at the Yamaha website.
NOTE
• If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted.
• Keep in mind that the Audio Styles may take more time to load than others, and that they may have certain restrictions and
differ in the specific functions that can be handled.

Changing the Chord Fingering Type
The Chord Fingering type determines how chords are specified for Style Playback. You can select the desired type on
the display called up via [MENU]  [Split & Fingering].
Single Finger
Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minorseventh chords by pressing only one, two or three keys on the Chord section of the keyboard.
C
Cm
Major chord
Press the root key only.
Minor chord
Simultaneously press
the root key and a black
key to its left.
C7
Cm 7
Seventh chord
Simultaneously press the
root key and a while key to
its left.
Minor Seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root
key and both a white and black
key to its left.
Multi Finger
Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering types.
Fingered
Lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left hand section of the
keyboard when ACMP is turned on or the Left part is turned on. For information on which notes to
press for each chord, refer to the Data List (Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode) downloadable from Yamaha Manual Library, or use the Chord Tutor function as described in the next
section.
Fingered On Bass
Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered; however, the lowest note played in the Chord section of
the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the Fingered type,
the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.)
Full Keyboard
Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you
split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left
hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with
your right.
AI Fingered
Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
AI Full Keyboard
This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to
indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot
be played.
NOTE
• “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.”
• When the chord detection area is set to “Upper,” only “Fingered*” is available. This type is basically same as “Fingered,” except that “1+5,” “1+8” and Chord Cancel are
not available.

Genos Reference Manual
Using the Chord Tutor Function
The Chord Tutor function lets you can see which notes to press for specifying the chord. If you know a chord name but
don’t know how to play it, use this function.
This function can be used on the display called up via [MENU]  [Chord Tutor].

Type
Lets you select the desired chord type.
The notes you need to play are shown in the display.
NOTE
• Although this function shows how to play a chord only in case of “Fingered,” the indication is useful also when a type other than “Single Finger” is selected.
• Depending on the chord, some notes will be omitted.
Genos Reference Manual

Turning Each Channel of the Style On/Off
You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays.
Style channels
Each Style contains the channels listed below.
• Rhythm 1/2: These are the basic parts of the Style, containing the drum and percussion rhythm patterns.
• Bass: The bass part uses various appropriate instrument sounds to match the Style.
• Chord 1/2: These are the rhythmic chord backing, commonly consisting of piano or guitar Voices.
• Pad: This part is used for sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir, etc.
• Phrase 1/2: These parts are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.
• Audio: This is an audio part of the Audio Style.
Style channels can be turned on or off on the display called up via [MENU]  [Channel On/Off].
If you want to play back only one particular channel (solo playback), touch and hold the desired channel name until it
turns purple. To cancel solo, simply touch the (purple) channel name again.
NOTE
You can also turn the channels on/off on the Mixer display.
To change the Voice for each channel:
Touch the instrument icon below the desired channel to call up the Voice Selection display, then select the desired
Voice.
NOTE
The Voice of the Audio part of the Audio Style cannot be changed.
NOTE
You can save the settings here to Registration Memory. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

Genos Reference Manual
Style Playback Related Settings
You can make a variety of settings for Style Playback, on the display called up via [MENU]  [Style Setting].
1
Styles
Setting
Dynamics Control
This determines how the Style playback volume changes depending on the playing strength.
• Off: The volume is kept the same regardless of playing strength.
• Narrow: The volume changes over a narrow range.
• Medium: The volume changes over a medium range.
• Wide: The volume changes over a wide range.
Display Tempo
Turns on or off the tempo indication for each Style on the Style Selection display.
Stop ACMP
When the [ACMP] button is turned on and the [SYNC START] button is off, you can play chords in
the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord.
In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recognized and
the chord root/type are shown in the Style area of the Home display. Here, you can determine
whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.
• Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.
• Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad channel and the
Bass channel of the selected Style.
• Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Pad/Bass chan-
nels’ Voices, regardless of the selected Style.
NOTE
When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “Style.”
NOTE
When you record a Song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded regardless of the setting
here. Please note that both the sounding Voice and chord data is recorded when set to “Style,” and only the chord data is
recorded when set to “Off” or “Fixed.”
OTS Link Timing
This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One
Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button
must be on.)
• Real Time: One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN VARIATION
button.
• Next Bar: One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a MAIN VARIATION button.
Synchro Stop Window
This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically
cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “Off,”
the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled if you hold a chord for longer than the time set
here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and
still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys more quickly than the time set here,
the Synchro Stop function works.
Genos Reference Manual
11
Change Behavior
Section Set
Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when
Style playback is stopped). When set to “Off” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is
maintained even if the different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A–D sections is not
included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN
D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up.
Tempo
This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change the Style.
• Lock: Regardless of playback status, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained.
• Hold: While the Style is playing back, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained.
While the Style is stopped, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo of the selected Style.
• Reset: Regardless of playback status, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo for the
selected Style.
Part On/Off
This determines whether the Style Channel on/off status changes or not when you change the Style.
• Lock: Regardless of playback status, the Channel on/off status of the previous Style is maintained.
• Hold: While the Style is playing back, the Channel on/off status of the previous Style is maintained. While the Style is stopping, all Channels of the selected Style are set to on.
• Reset: Regardless of playback status, all Channels of the selected Style are set to on.
Adjusting the Tempo
You can adjust the tempo of Style, MIDI Song and metronome, on the display called up via [MENU]  [Tempo].

Genos Reference Manual
Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)
The Style Creator function lets you create your original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard and
using already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to create, then
record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source Pattern” in the Style Creator) for
each channel of each Section.
NOTE
Editing of Audio Styles is not available on firmware version 1.10 or before. It will be available in a future version upgrade.
1
Style Data Structure—Consisting of Source Patterns
Styles
A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels,
each of which is referred to as a “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately
recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

Limitations on the Audio part:
• If you select an Audio Style as starting data, the Audio part will be used as is. The Audio part cannot be deleted,
edited or created from scratch.
• The created Style containing the Audio part can be used only via an instrument that supports Audio Styles as well
as the SFF GE format.
• The Audio part cannot be copied from another Style or Section in the “Assembly” display (page 19). If you want to
use a specific Audio part, make sure to select the corresponding Audio Style before calling up the Style Creator
display.

Realtime Recording
The explanations here apply to step 4 of the Basic Procedure on page 14. In the “Rec Channel” display, you can create
the channel data via the Realtime Recording.
Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator
• Loop Recording
Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using
loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeatedly
recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing
previously recorded material.
• Overdub Recording
This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data.
In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as “Clear Drum Inst”
(page 16) “Delete” (pages 16, 17) and “Remove Event” (page 20). For example, if you start recording with a twomeasure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the
next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When
creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For
all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.

• Record a phrase in CM7 which will play appropriate notes as change chords during performance
Rules when recording a Main or Fill-in
With the default initial settings, the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7. This means that you should record a
Source Pattern which is to be triggered by specifying CM7 during normal performance. Record a bass line,
phrase or chord backing which you want to hear when CM7 is specified. Specifically, see the rules below.
• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the Bass and Phrase channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B).
• Use only the chord tones when recording the Chord and Pad channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).
C R C
C R C
C = Chord note
C, R = Recommended note
If you observe these rules, Style playback notes are appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you
make during your performance.
Rules when recording an Intro or Ending
These Sections are designed assuming that the chord is not changed during playback. This is why you need not
observe the rules for Main and Fill-In Sections described above, and you can make the chord progression in
recording. However, follow the rules below since the Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 by default.
• When recording the Intro, make sure that the recorded phrase leads properly into a C scale.
• When recording the Ending, make sure that the recorded phrase begins with or properly follows a C scale.
• Set the Source Root/Chord if necessary
Although the default Source Root/Chord is set to CM7 as described above, you can change this to any desired
one in which you can play easily. Call up the “SFF Edit” display, set the Source Root and Chord to the favorite
or desired Root and Chord type. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to
another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details, refer to page 22.

Step Recording
The explanations here apply to step 4 of the Basic Procedure on page 14. In the Step Recording (Step Edit) display
called up by touching
(Step Edit) at the top of the display, you can record or edit notes one by one. This Step
Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for MIDI Song Multi Recording (page 77) with the exception of
the points listed below:
• In the Song recording, the “End” mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed.
This is because the length of the Style is fixed for all channels as you set in the “Basic” display (page 14). For example, if you create a Style of four measures length, the “End” mark position is automatically set to the end of fourth
measure, and cannot be changed in the Style Edit display.
• Recording channels can be changed in the Song recording’s Edit display; however, they cannot be changed in the
Style Creator. Select the Recording channel in the “Rec channel” display.
• In the Style Creator, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be entered. The Channel data can be entered

Target Ch
Select the target channel to be edited. All items with the exception of the “Groove” are to be applied to the channel specified here.
Groove
This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing
(clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Section.
Dynamics
Quantize
Original Beat
Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is
selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is
applied to 8th-note triplets.
Beat Converter
Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the “Original Beat” parameter above)
to the selected value. For example, when Original Beat is set to “8 Beat” and Beat Converter
is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and
“16B” Beat Converter which appear when Original Beat is set to “12 Beat” are variations on
a basic 16th-note setting.
Swing
Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the “Original
Beat” parameter above. For example, if the specified Original Beat value is “8 Beat”, the
Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to
create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with
“A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.
Fine
Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “Push” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “Heavy” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All
beats up to the specified beat—but not including the first beat—will be played early or
delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum
effect.
This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings can
be applied to each channel individually or all channels of the selected Style.
Accent Type
Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes are emphasized.
Strength
Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the
value, the stronger the effect
Expand/
Compress
Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100% expand the
dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it.
Boost/Cut
Boosts or cuts all velocity values. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values
below 100% reduce it.
Apply To All
Channels
When set to “On,” the settings in this display will be applied to all the channels of the current
Section.
When set to “Off,” the settings in this display will be applied to the channel specified at the
“Target Ch” in the “Channel Edit” display.
Same as in MIDI Multi Recording (page 75), with the exception of the two additional available parameters
below.
Eighth notes with swing
Sixteenth notes with swing
Velocity
Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel, according to the percentage specified here.
Bar Copy
This function allows data to be copied from one measure or group of measures to another location within the
specified channel.
Source Top
Specifies the first (Source Top) and last (Source Last) measures in the region to be copied.
Source Last
Destination
Specifies the first measure of the destination location, to which the data is to be copied.
Bar Clear
This function clears all data from the specified range of measures within the selected channel.
Remove Event
This function lets you remove specific events from the selected channel.
NOTICE
The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn off the power to the instrument without carrying out the Save operation (step 7

IMPORTANT
Make sure to set the parameters here before recording. If you change the settings after recording, the recorded Source
Pattern cannot be converted to the appropriate notes when changing the chord during your keyboard performance.
NOTE
When the parameters for the selected Target Ch are set to NTR: Root Fixed, NTT Type: Bypass, or NTT Bass: Off, the parameters here are
changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels.
NOTE
The settings here are not applied when NTR is set to “Guitar.”
NTR/NTT

NTT Type
When the root note is transposed, the interval
between notes is maintained. For example, the notes
C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and
C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting
for channels that contain melody lines.
The note is kept as close as possible to the previous
note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in
the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are
transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that
contain chord parts.

not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to
major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
Melodic
Minor 5th
In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.
Harmonic
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers
the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes
from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised
by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.
Harmonic
Minor 5th
In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
Natural
Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers
the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord
changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted
seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this
for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a major/minor chord such as
Intros and Endings.
Natural
Minor 5th
In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished
chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.
Dorian
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers
the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes
from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are
raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of
Sections which respond only to a major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings.

When NTR is set to “Guitar”:
NTT Bass
All Purpose
This table covers both strummed and arpeggio-played sounds.
Stroke
Suitable for strumming sounds of the guitar. Some notes may sound as if they are
muted—this is the normal condition when chords are played on guitar by strumming.
Arpeggio
Suitable for arpeggio-played sound of the guitar, resulting in beautiful four-note
arpeggio sounds.
The channel for which this is set to “On” will be played back by the bass root note, when the onbass chord is recognized by the instrument. When NTR is set to Guitar and this parameter is set
to “On,” only the note which is assigned to bass will be played back by the bass root note.
NTR/NTT Settings for the Rhythm Channels
Since the Rhythm channels should not be affected by Chord change, make sure to make the following settings.
• NTR = Root Fixed
• NTT = Bypass
• NTT Bass = Off
With the above settings, the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play Root” and
“Play Chord,” respectively.

Voice Types (Characteristics)
The defining characteristics of the particular Voice type and their performance advantages are described below. To see
the type of each Voice, refer to the Voice List in the Data List on the website. Only the types marked by “*” in the list
below are indicated at the upper left of the Voice name in the Voice Selection display.
30
S.Art (Super Articulation)*
These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time.
For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato way, you will
hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.
Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice, if you play a C note and then the E just above in a very
legato but firm way, the pitch slides up from C to E. Depending on how you play, other effects such
as “shaking” or breath noises (for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are
produced.
S.Art2 (Super
Articulation2)*
For wind instrument Voices and string instrument Voices, a special technology called AEM
(page 31) has been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on
those specific instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to “join” different notes together, or to add
expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc. You can add these articulations by playing legato or
non-legato, or by jumping in pitch by around an octave.
For example, using the Clarinet Voice, if you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a
glissando up to the Bb. Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a
note for over a certain time. Each S.Art2 Voice has its own default vibrato setting, so that when you
select a S.Art2 Voice, the appropriate vibrato is applied regardless of the joystick position. You can
adjust the vibrato by moving the joystick vertically.
For details on how the articulations are added, refer to the “S. Arts Voice Effect Assignment List” in
the Data List on the website.
Live
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich
sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.
Cool
These Voices use sophisticated programming to capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of
electric instruments.
Sweet
These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology—and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.
Drums
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds
from the keyboard.
SFX
Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you
play the sounds from the keyboard.
Live Drums
These are high-quality drum sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling.
Live SFX
These are various high-quality special effect sounds and percussion sounds that take full advantage

Revo Drums*
These Voices recreate the natural sound of real drums by producing different instrument sound samples (or waveforms), when playing the same key multiple times.
Revo SFX*
These Voices recreate the natural sound of real percussion instruments by producing different sound
samples (or waveforms), when playing the same key multiple times.
Organ Flutes*
These authentic organ Voices let you adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ
sounds. See page 44 for details.
Genos Reference Manual
MegaVoice*
These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your
playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and
played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing
guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired
sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the
sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and
convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using several different
Voices just for a single instrument part.

NOTE
Voices
• S.Art, S.Art2 and Mega Voices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instrument using these Voices
will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.
• S.Art, S.Art2 and Mega Voices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button, change the
transpose setting or change the Voice Edit parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
NOTE
The characteristics of S.Art2 Voices (default vibrato setting and articulation effects applied by the [ART] buttons) are effective for real-time performance; however, these
effects may not be completely reproduced when you play back a MIDI Song which has been recorded using S.Art2 Voices.
For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List on the website.
NOTE
To find and call up the “Legacy” folder, touch
(Up) at the bottom right of the Voice Selection display (when Preset is selected), and then select page 2. This folder contains previous Yamaha keyboards’ Voices (such as the Tyros series) for data compatibility with other models.
Converting the Voices of a MIDI Song to MegaVoices (MEGAEnhancer)
MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to song data specially
enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices. With the use of the
sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional song files with guitar, bass, and other
parts sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the Yamaha website.

AEM Technology
When you play the piano, pressing a “C” key produces a definite and relatively fixed C note. When you play a wind
instrument, however, a single fingering may produce several different sounds depending on the breath strength, the
note length, the adding of trills or bend effects, and other performance techniques. Also, when playing two notes continuously—for example “C” and “D”—these two notes will be smoothly joined, and not sound independent as they
would on a piano.
AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is the technology for simulating this characteristic of instruments. During
performance, the most appropriate sound samples are selected in sequence in real time, from huge quantities of sampled data. They are smoothly joined and sounded—as would naturally occur on an actual acoustic instrument.
This technology to smoothly join different samples enables the application of realistic vibrato. Conventionally on
electronic musical instruments, vibrato is applied by moving the pitch periodically. AEM technology goes much further by analyzing and disaggregating the sampled vibrato waves, and smoothly joins the disaggregated data in real
time during your performance. If you move the joystick vertically (Y: Modulation) when you play the S.Art2 Voice
(using AEM technology), you can also control the depth of the vibrato, and still maintain remarkable realism.

Select the desired Scale type (temperament).
Type
• Equal: The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly
spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
• Pure Major, Pure Minor: These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such as
choirs and a cappella singing.
• Pythagorean: This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of
perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but
the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
• Mean-Tone: This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major
third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century.
Handel, among others, used this scale.
• Werckmeister, Kirnberger: This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems,
which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of
this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the
time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the
harpsichord.
• Arabic1, Arabic2: Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

2
Voices
• Multi: This parameter is available when the Harmony/Echo category is selected. When
multiple parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is sounded by the Right 1 part and
the harmony sounds (effect) are divided to Right 1 and the other parts. When only one
part is on, the note played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.
• Right 1, Right 2, Right 3: Applies the effect to the selected part (Right 1, Right 2 or Right
3).
NOTE
When the “Harmony” category is selected, the keyboard part which is set to Mono and Legato type is selected
(page 41) for the Voice is regarded as off. For example, when Right 1 is set to Legato (Mono) and Right 2 is set to
Poly, and both parts are turned on, turning the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button on applies the Harmony effect only
to the Right 2 part.
Chord Note Only
This parameter is only available when the “Harmony” category is selected. When this is set
to “On,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of
the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.
Minimum Velocity
It determines the lowest velocity value at which the Harmony, Echo, Tremolo, or Trill note
will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you
play the key strongly (above the set value).

This feature lets you create your original Multi Pad phrases, and also allows you to edit existing Multi Pad phrases to
create your own. As with MIDI Song recording, MIDI Multi Pad Recording features Realtime Recording and Step
Recording. However, with MIDI Multi Pad Recording, each Multi Pad consists of only one channel and convenient
functions such as Punch In/Out are not available.
Multi Pad—Realtime Recording via MIDI
Before starting operation, note the following points:
• Since only the Right 1 part performance will be recorded as a Multi Pad phrase, you should select the desired Voice
for the Right 1 part beforehand.
• The Super Articulation Voices and the Organ Flutes Voices cannot be used for Multi Pad Recording. If one of these
Voices is set for the Right 1 part, it will be replaced with the Grand Piano Voice when recording.
• Since recording can be done along with and synchronized to Style playback, you should select the desired Style
beforehand. However, keep in mind that the Style is not recorded.

MIDI Song Recording/Editing
The Owner’s Manual covers how to create an original MIDI Song by recording your keyboard performance without
specifying channels (called “Quick Recording”). This Reference Manual shows how to create an original Song by
recording your keyboard performance to a specified channel or by entering notes one by one (called “Multi
Recording”) and how to improve an already created Song by editing the detailed parameters.
 Realtime Recording and Step Recording
When creating a MIDI Song, these two Recording methods are available. With Realtime Recording, this instrument
records the performance data as it is played. With Step Recording, you can compose your performance by “writing” it
down one event at a time.
 MIDI Song Data Structure
A MIDI Song consists of 16 MIDI channels. You can create data of a MIDI Song by recording your performance to a
specific channel or channels in realtime, or by executing the Step Recording.

Recording Each Channel Individually (Realtime Recording)
With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 channels by recording your performance to each
channel one by one. In recording a piano piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part to channel 1 then
record the left-hand part to channel 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may be difficult to play live with
both hands together. To record a performance with Style playback, for example, record the Style playback to channels
9–16, then record melodies to channel 1 while listening to the already recorded Style playback. In this way, you can
create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even impossible, to play live.

Function Details
Quantize
The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the
musical phrase shown below, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been
slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this.
Touch the [Select] below the instrument icon for the channel to be quantized, and then edit the parameters.
Size
Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the
shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you
should use eighth note as the Quantize size.

MIDI Song Recording/Editing
The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow
you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth
notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight
eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes—completely eliminating
any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight
and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.
Strength
Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a
value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats
according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve
some of the “human” feel in the recording.

Transpose
This allows you to transpose the recorded data of individual channels up or down by a maximum of two octaves in
semitone increments. Touch the box below the instrument icon for the channel to be transposed, then edit the value. If
you want to transpose all channels simultaneously, use the menu below.
All +
Increases the Transpose value for all channels by 1.
All -
Decreases the Transpose value for all channels by 1.
NOTE
Make sure not to transpose channels 9 and 10. In general, Drum kits are assigned to these channels. If you transpose the channels of Drum kits, the instruments assigned
to each key will be changed.
NOTE
If you want to listen to the data as currently edited, play it back before touching [Execute]. Touching [Execute] transposes the pitch, and also resets the value to 0 allowing
you to further transpose, if necessary.

Editing Song Position Markers
This section covers two additional Marker-related features and details. For basic information on using the Markers for
jump playback and loop playback, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
 Jump Markers
The Markers explained in the Owner’s Manual are also called “Jump Markers.” In the Event List of the System
Exclusive data (page 83), they are indicated as “SPJ-01”–“SPJ-04.” In the Event List, they can be moved freely to
other positions and can even copied to create identical Marker numbers at other positions. When the same Marker
number is contained at different locations in the Song, the latest occurring one is used as a “Loop End Marker”
(below).
 Loop End Marker
Loop End Markers can be used for putting additional Markers in Song data, providing even greater versatility.
Creating a Loop End Marker is done within the Event List (and not on the Song Player display), by simply copying
one “SPJ” Jump Marker event to another position in the Song.
The examples below show how Loop End Markers can be used in Song playback on the Song Player display.
Example 1
Copied within
the Event List.

(2)
MIDI Song Recording/Editing
(1) If the Song is playing back between the two SPJ-01 points, turning on [Loop] will result in a playback loop
between those points.
(2) If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-02 and [Loop] is turned on, playback jumps back
to the first SPJ-01 and loops between two SPJ-01 points.
Example 2
Copied event becomes
Loop End Marker
Copied within
the Event List.
Top of the
song
(2)
[SPJ-01]
[SPJ-02]
(2)
[SPJ-01]
(1)
[SPJ-03]
[SPJ-04]
End of the
song
(3)
(1) If the Song is playing back between SPJ-02 and the second SPJ-01, turning on
[Loop] will result in a playback loop between those points.
(2) If [Loop] is turned on while the Song is playing back between the top of the Song
and SPJ-02, playback will loop between SPJ-01 and SPJ-02.
(3) If the Song is playing back between the second SPJ-01 and SPJ-03 and [Loop] is
turned on, playback jumps back to SPJ-02 and loops between SPJ-02 and the
second SPJ-01 (Loop End Marker).
In the examples above, the actual data of the Loop End Marker is identical to the event
it was copied from—only the location of the copied Marker provides it with this
different function.
In Song playback, the markers formatted as “SPJ-xxxxx” (xxxxx: any character
except 01–04 and any number of letters is OK) are handled as Loop End Markers.
Since the Event List in the MIDI Multi Recording function does not let you freely
name Markers, the instructions above are recommended for creating new Markers.
However, with sequence software on a computer, you can create new Markers and
assign appropriate names to them. By naming Markers in this way, you can easily
distinguish between Loop End Markers and Jump Markers in the Event List.
NOTE
Loop playback problems may occur if
successive Markers are too close to one
another.
NOTE
When the effect settings of the jump
destination (the position you’re jumping
to) differ from those at the jump source,
glitches or drop-outs in the sound may
result. This is because of limitations in
the effect processors of this instrument.
NOTE
When using the Guide function
(page 65) with jump playback, keep in
mind that the Guide indication may not
be able to stay in time with the jumps.

Re-recording a Multi Track Audio File
Multi Track Audio data you’ve created can be re-recorded in the following three ways.
• Normal: Replace or Overdub the entire data ............................................................................................ See below
• Punch In/Out (*): Replace or Overdub a certain range of the data ...................................................... See page 96
• Bounce: Merge the Main and Sub tracks to the Main track .................................................................. See page 99
* Punch In/Out recording features three different modes depending on how you trigger recording: Manual Punch In/Out, Pedal Punch In/Out, and
Auto Punch In/Out.
NOTE
Re-recording of the data repeatedly will result in deterioration of the sound quality.
NOTICE
The data is automatically saved in the internal User drive, but you may want to back up your data before editing. Copying is the easiest way to do
this. However, since copying within a folder in the User drive is not possible, you need to create a new folder. For details on file management,
refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Normal Recording—Replacing or Overdubbing the Entire Data
You can replace the entire audio data of a track by Normal recording or mix the audio data with the previous one by
Normal recording with the overdubbing enabled. Normal recording with the overdub method does not add any tracks
but simply mixes the new recording to the existing data. After stopping recording, any data following the stop point
will be erased.
NOTE
If you intend to overdub parts onto the track, it’s best to keep the first recording simple. For example, you may record just a rhythm pattern (such as by playing back a Style)
or a simple bass riff over which you can add other parts.
1
To select the desired file, execute Steps 1–3 in “Selecting a Multi Track Audio File (.aud)”
on page 91.
2
Select the desired track to be re-recorded, by touching [Rec] corresponding to the track.
3
Set the recording mode.
3-1 Set the parameter “Rec Mode” to “Normal”.
3-2 Set the “Overdub” checkbox off/on.

Practice the part while checking and adjusting the volume settings for recording.
 When “Overdub” is off:
Practice the part while checking the level and adjusting the recording volume with
the “Monitor” meter/slider.
 When “Overdub” is on:
Play back the recorded track and practice the part that you want to overdub while
the track is playing. Adjust the Main and Sub track playback volumes (page 92),
and adjust the recording volume using the “Monitor” meter/slider. The volume
balance set here affects when recording.
5
Touch [] (Rec) to enable recording.

Touch [>/o] (Play/Pause) to start recording.
Play the keyboard (or sing, etc.) and record your performance.
7
NOTE
Before practicing the part and adjusting
the volume, make any necessary settings such as Voice selection, etc. If you
wish to record a keyboard-played Voice
from the instrument, select the desired
Voice. If you wish to record your singing or an external instrument, connect a
microphone or instrument and make the
appropriate settings.
NOTE
The playback sound of the other track
(not selected as the destination of
recording) is not recorded to the track.
When finished recording, touch [] (Stop).
After stopping recording, the data after the stop point of the track will be erased, even if Overdub is enabled.

To hear your new recording, touch [>/o] (Play/Pause).
If you’ve made a mistake or you’re not completely satisfied with your performance, you can undo the Normal recording result at this time. To do this, touch
[] (Stop) to stop playback, then touch [Undo].
NOTE
The Audio Multi Recording function
automatically reduces the level of the
previous track by a certain, slight
amount to accommodate the new
recording. This is done to minimize
possible distortion. You can use the
Normalize effect to maximize the volume
of the overall sound. For details, see
page 91.

Punch In/Out Recording—Replace or Overdub a Certain Range of the
Data
This method of recording can only be used on an existing recording. It allows you to re-record over a specific part of
the already-recorded material. You can replace the original part with the new recording by Punch In/Out recording, or
keeping the original and mixing it with the new by Punch In/Out recording with the overdub enabled. This lets you
either correct a mistake in the recording or overdub new parts onto the original recording.
Keep in mind that sections before and after the Punch In/Out section of the track are not recorded over and remain as
the original data—but they play back normally to guide you in and out of the recording.
NOTE
When you re-recording the file by Punch In/Out method, we recommend re-recording only one range at one time. This is because the Undo/Redo function can undo/redo
only one range that was recorded immediately before.

Chordal
The harmony notes are determined by the following three chord types: chords
played in the chord section of the keyboard (with the [ACMP] button turned on),
chords played in the left hand section of the keyboard (with the Left part turned
on), and chords contained in Song data for controlling the harmony. (Not available if the Song does not contain any chord data.)
Vocoder
The microphone sound is output via the notes you play on the keyboard or via the
Song playback notes.
VocoderMono
Basically the same as the Vocoder. In this mode, only single-note melodies or
lines can be played back (with last-note priority).
e
(When the Mode is set to “Chordal”)
Chord Source
Determines which data or event of a Song will be used for chord detection.
• Off: Detects no chord from the Song data.
• XF: Chord data defined via XF will be used.
• 1–16: Detects a chord from notes of the MIDI channel specified here.
NOTE
The Vocal Harmony may not work properly regardless of the setting here depending on the Song data, since the selected
Song may contain no chord data or insufficient note data for chord detection.
Type
Determines how the harmony notes are applied to the microphone sound by selecting one of the
Chordal Types. Almost all Types apply the harmony notes based on the chord specified via the left
hand section of the keyboard, chord section of the keyboard, or the Song data, with the exception
of the following two Types.
• ScaleDiatonic: This generates harmony notes based on the Key Root and Key Type specified in
the Harmony Assign display (u), meaning that the harmony notes do not depend on the chord
but match the diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
• Parallel: This adds a note to the lead note (microphone sound) with the interval specified at y,
regardless of the chord.
NOTE
“Abv” in the Chordal Type List means that the harmony notes are generated above the lead note (microphone sound) while
“Blw” means that the harmony notes are generated below the lead note.
For more information about the Chordal Types, refer to the Data List (Vocal Harmony Parameter
List) on the website.
r
(When the Mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder -Mono”)
When set to one of 1–16, note data (played from a Song on this instrument or the connected computer) of the corresponding channel is used to control the harmony. When set to “Off,” Song data
control over harmony is turned off.
Part
When set to “Mute,” the channel selected above (to control Harmony) is muted (turned off) during
Song playback, allowing you to disable control via specific channels as desired.
Keyboard
• Off: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
• Upper: Notes played to the right of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony.
• Lower: Notes played to the left of the Split Point (Left) control the harmony.

Balance
9
Lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (the microphone sound) and Vocal Harmony
sound. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead
vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is
output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.

Balance
adjustment
for each Lead
note and Harmony note
The following parameters can be adjusted for each Lead note (microphone sound) and Harmony
note.
• Transpose: Lets you shift the pitch for each Harmony note and Lead note. The range for all notes
is the same; however, the lead note can only be adjusted in octaves.
When the Chordal Type is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter changes to Degree, letting you
shift the pitch in degree from -3 octaves (-22 scale degrees) – Unison (1 scale degree) – +3 octaves
(+22 scale degrees).
• Detune: Determines the fine pitch setting for each Harmony note from -50 cents to +50 cents.
• Formant: Determines the formant setting for each Harmony note. The higher the value, the more
“feminine” the harmony voice becomes. The lower the value, the more “masculine” the voice.
• Pan: Determines the pan position setting for each Harmony note. Setting each Harmony note to a
different pan position, with the Lead vocal at center, for example, results in a naturally wide
stereo sound.
• Volume: Determines the volume setting for each Harmony note. Use this to adjust the relative
level balance among the Lead vocal and the Harmony notes.
NOTE
When Pitch Correct Mode (u) is set to OFF the Lead part is not available for the Transpose, Detune and Formant parameters.
NOTE
The Transpose values of the Harmonies are available only when the Mode (w) is set to “Chordal.”
u
Harmony
Assign
Lets you set how the Harmony notes are assigned or voiced to the Lead note (microphone sound).
For details, refer to the Data List (Vocal Harmony Parameter List) on the website.
 When the Harmony mode is set to “Chordal”
• Session Table: Determines how the harmonies will be voiced, or what type of chord will be used
in creating the harmonies, according to different musical styles.
NOTE
This parameter is available only when the Chordal Type is set to something other than “ScaleDiatonic” or “Parallel.”
• Key Root, Key Type: When the Chordal Type (e) is set to “ScaleDiatonic,” this parameter is
available. Harmony notes based on the settings here do not depend on the chord but match the
diatonic scale of the current song’s key signature.
 When the Harmony mode is set to “Vocoder” or “Vocoder-Mono”
• Transpose Mode: Determines the amount by which the harmony parts are transposed. A setting
of “0” results in no transposition, while the “Auto” setting results in automatic transposition.

Detail Setting
• Pitch Correct Mode: Corrects the pitch of the Lead note (microphone sound). “Off ” does not
correct while “Hard” corrects the pitch most accurately.
• Humanize: This setting allows you to make the Vocal Harmony sounds more natural and less
“electronic,” by introducing slight time discrepancies between the Lead and Harmony notes.
Off: No Humanize effect.
1: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to create a more natural feel, with an authentic-sounding widening effect, giving the impression of more people singing.
2: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to produce a more distinct groove. Even
faster passages retain their rhythmic essence.
3: The Humanize effect is applied to the Harmony to reflect the way in which the lead vocalist
and back chorus interact, with the lead vocal out front, and the timing slightly relaxed.
• Lead Pitch Detect Speed, Harm Pitch Detect Speed: Determines how fast the pitch of the Lead
note and the harmony notes are detected in response to the signal via the microphone. “1”
responds most slowly, “4” is standard, “15” responds most quickly, and “as Mic Setting” gives
priority to the speed specified at the Pitch Detect “Response” of the Mic Setting display
(page 108).
• Harmony Effect: Determines the Effect type applied to the Harmony notes added to the Lead
note.
• Harmony Stability: Determines the stability degree to which the Harmony is applied to the Lead
note. When set to “Stable,” this has a relatively stable sound with little harmony motion. When
set to “Dynamic,” this tends to add harmony with motion according to the input sound.
• Lead Vibrato Depth: This specifies the vibrato depth of the lead sound.
• Harm Vibrato Depth: This specifies the vibrato depth of the harmony sound.
• Vibrato Speed: This specifies the vibrato speed of both the lead and harmony sounds.
• Vibrato Delay: This specifies the vibrato delay of both the lead and harmony sounds.

Editing Master Compressor Settings (Compressor)
Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal.
For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively
making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more
powerful, more consistently high-level sound.
This instrument features a Master Compressor which is applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although preset
Master Compressor settings are provided, you can also create and save your original Master Compressor presets by
adjusting the related parameters. This display is available only when the “Master” tab is selected at the top of the
Mixer display.
NOTE
Master Compressor cannot be applied to an Audio Song, the audio input via the AUX IN jacks, or the metronome sound.

Select the Master Compressor type to be edited.
• Natural: Natural Compressor settings in which the effect is moderately pronounced.
• Rich: Rich Compressor settings in which the instrument’s characteristics are optimally brought out. This is good
for enhancing acoustic instruments, jazz music, etc.
• Punchy: Highly exaggerated Compressor settings. This is good for enhancing rock music.
• Electronic: Compressor settings in which the electronic dance music’s characteristics are optimally brought out.
• Loud: Powerful Compressor settings. This is good for enhancing energetic music such as rock or gospel music.
• User1–5: Your own custom Compressor settings saved in step 4.
3
Edit the parameters related to the Master Compressor.
Compression
Parameters such as Threshold, Ratio and Soft Knee (which are available on commonly used
compressors) are all changed together at the same time, letting you moderately compress the
sound.
Texture
Adds natural characteristics to the effect. The higher the value, the lighter it becomes.
NOTE
It may be easier to hear the changes when used in combination with “Compression” and “Output.”
Output
Determines the output level.
The indication “GR” shows the Gain Reduction (compressed level) while “Output” shows the output level according to the instrument sound in real time.

MIDI A port instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when
you wish to have tempo (synchronization) be controlled from the connected MIDI device.
MIDI Accord1
(MIDI Accordion 1)
MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from
the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you control the
keyboard performance and Style playback from a MIDI Accordion.
MIDI Accord2
(MIDI Accordion 2)
Basically the same as “MIDI Accord1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes
you play with your left hand on a MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events.
MIDI Pedal1
MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the chord root in
Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI Pedal2
This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.
MIDI OFF
No MIDI signals are sent or received.
Genos Reference Manual

System—MIDI System Settings
The explanations here apply when you call up “System” display in step 2 on page 133.
Clock
Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock (“Internal”) or a
MIDI clock (“MIDI A,” “MIDI B,” “USB1,” “USB2,” and “Wireless LAN”) received from
an external device. “Internal” is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used
alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with
an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it
to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: “MIDI A,” “MIDI B,” “USB1,”
“USB2,” or “Wireless LAN.” In this case, make sure that the external device is connected
properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a
MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (“MIDI A,” “MIDI B,”
“USB1,” “USB2,” or “Wireless LAN”), the Tempo is indicated as “EXT.” in the Tempo display.
NOTE
If the Clock is set other than “Internal,” the Style, Song, Metronome and Tempo cannot be controlled by the buttons
on this instrument.
NOTE
“Wireless LAN” is shown only if the wireless LAN function is included. The wireless LAN function may not be
included depending on your area.
134
Transmit Clock
Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to “Off,” no MIDI clock or Start/
Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.
Transpose MIDI Input
Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting is applied to the note events
received from the external device via MIDI.
Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback.
Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “On,” the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal
Voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “Off,” the keyboard and
controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no
sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows
you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal Voices, and use the
instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone
generator.

On this display, two types of settings (below) can be made:
• CC#7, 1, 2, 3, 4
The MIDI device sends a control change message to Genos, and Genos determines how it responds to (or, which
parameter is changed by) that control change number.
You also need to select the part to which the assigned function is applied.
• Other items (e.g., CC#0/C#-1)
The MIDI device sends a note on/off message to Genos, and Genos determines how it responds to (or, which function is executed by) that note number.
The same function can also be executed by sending the control change number corresponding to the note number
as shown in the display. For example, the control change number 0 corresponds to the note number C#-1. Control
change numbers 0–63 are regarded as Off, and 64–127 are regarded as On.

If you want to delete the Expansion Pack data from the instrument, format the User drive (page 146). Note that doing so will delete all other data in the User drive.
Song, Style or Registration Memory containing Expansion Voices or Styles
Song, Style or Registration Memory containing any Expansion Voices or Styles will not sound properly or cannot be
called up, if the Expansion Pack data does not exist in the instrument.
We recommend that you write down the name of the Expansion Pack when you create the data (Song, Style or Registration Memory) using Expansion Voices or Styles, so that you can easily find and install the Expansion Pack when
necessary.
