Sampling and using on Genos

[alans]

Hi all

I have a Gretsch guitar and have often wondered if it is possible somehow to record a sample and use it in Genos.I do not have any other equipment other than the guitar amp and Genos.
The Gretch guitar has quite a different guitar  sound than the ones built into Genos so it would be interesting to see if this can be done

Its dutch, but its self explanatory
And shows how to import samples into Yem..

All you need to do is sample your guitar in one of the free programs that converts to sf2 format
And then import into your Yem

Hello,
I have also an Gretsch Guitar and I made samples
myself some time ago.
I recorded all of the 6 snares one by one in a DAW on PC
by direct cableconnection between guitar-amp. and PC.
The result is useful, not bad, but no better than
the voices already in Genos or professional made samplebased voices.
It costs me half a day to learn the procedure in YEM
but once this is understood the making is a matter of half an hour.
It was a fine experiment and gave me insight to the making of samples.
Certainly if you want you can spend hours at tweaking,
but that was not my goal, and I find out that this goes better
in Genos than in YEM.
Should you want more info, I am always pleased to help.

Hi All.
Anyone still interested in this topic. I was, and found the basic info useful. Here's what I did in case it helps anyone else.
I used a wav file sample from the internet. (an instrument called a calliope, Circus music!)
I downloaded a program to my computer called polyphone.
from https://www.polyphone-soundfonts.com/en/download
The web help was very useful, and I converted the wav sample into an  sf2 sound font.
This was loaded into Yamaha Expansion manager to create a pack which was downloaded onto my Genos.
Now I have the sound of the Calliope - just got to learn to play 'March of the Gladitors'!!

Hey Bachus. Taking this thread up as it still don't work for me :-/

My problem: I want to make a split in my pedal-basses (Roland PK-5) so that below "E" is one octave higher - like a real bass is tuned.

Its not possible to do that with preset voices, and I can't fint any voices tha comes as samples (fx. bowed bass-string) because I need to double the sound, not only process the voice. Double the voice and limit the area for each voice.

I could maybe sample Genos' own voice, and use them. But how to sample from the keyboard? I simply don't know how I sample, how to put a all the tones into one sample, which format I need. I've worked on this project since Genos' came out, I've written to Yamaha several times - no answer.

I have some left over bass-voices from happy T4-days. At that time you were aloud everything. With the new YEM, nothing is possible. So my bass-guitar is working (T4-sound), but I'm tired of playing "An der schöne balun Donau" with a bass-guitar as bass :-(

Do you have any idea how to get any further?
