Mix between style and Multipads

[Bachus]

On the prs-970 i remember there was a function you could assign to a live knob, which allowed you to mix(crossfade) between style tracks and multipads, i had a lot of fun with this when playtesting the 970..  very usefull for EDM..

I can't find that function in the Genos live controll?

Am i missing something, or didn't this function make it to Genos?

It should be there.
If I understand correctly hit the "knob assign" button 3X to the third row.
Knob 4 and 5 will fade different parts of the style.
You can ad Multi Pads, but as far as I know they keep playing.
So the Style slowly fades until only the Multi Pad remains.
I use that feature for what you mentioned.
I still have the S970.
If you remember what it is called I could check...

I just read the PSR 970 refference manual
It took me some time to figure out it was as simple as using the "Ballance style/multipad" knob..

And yes i realise i can do this on Genos with direct controll over 2 sliders..
But a single knob that worked like a crossover worked much better

Hi Bachus,

The assignable functions list starting on page 129 of the 'Genos Reference Manual' seems to suggest that if you assign the 'Balance' function to a knob or slider, you can open a pop up box at the bottom of the display which allows you to select the 2 parts that you want to balance.

I can't check this out myself, but hopefully Style and Multi Pad are available in this for selection.

Here is what the manual says about the Balance function...

Balance:    Adjusts the volume balance between parts A and B. You can select which parts belong to A or B in
the pop-up window called up via [Balance Setting] at the bottom of this display.

Hi Bachus,
I guess I have not tried this feature yet.
Looks like something new to explore. 
Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks Ian for finding it in the reference manual

Thanks Ian.. its even better..
I misread, when it said a&b my dumb side concluded it was song related

Its incredible.. you can add any source with a volume parameter to either a or b..
Sonot only style and multipads.. but also voices..
So you can have a piano on A and strings and pads on b (r1 to r3) and crossfade between them

Its great living in Genos country, discovering new things every day..

This is a great post. I've just learnt this from it, must study live control more.

Any more little known functions / controls keep posting
