StyleMagic setup

[terryB]

Hi I've purchased the full version of StyleMagic and set it up on my PC, got it working with a trial style. I plugged in my Genos, installed the Yamaha Midi-USB driver on the PC. How do I get the true style sounds to play whilst editing, ( I assume that to be the purpose of connecting the two together  ). I had the Genos connected via usb Host to USB on Pc and a trial style loaded onto the usb drive used as the dongle with StyleMagic settings as below:

                  Voice Map          Genos.idi
                 
                  Midi devise  output port-  Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth (the onlyone listed)

                  No. Loops -8

                  Button Response - Mixing Console

I'm looking forward to creating some custom styles using this software, but I think its going to be a steep learning curve. I might take a look at MixMaster as well, its time I got more creative.

Cheers -Terry
look forward to any help to get going with this

You need to select your keyboard model then quit the program.  Next time you boot the program you will see in the top right corner your keyboard model.  Now can hear the sounds from your keyboard.  Also must must select either the MIDI routing or the workstation option as the connection between your keyboard and the computer.

Hi Joe, Thank you for your help.

I have sorted it ! I had set the PC for Genos before plugging it into the keyboard. When I reset it with the Genos attached to the PC it gave me the option to select Digital Work Stations 1 & 2, and it played through the Genos when set to Digital Work Station 1

Hi Terry,

I'm glad you got it sorted now.

By the way, I recommend using one of the preset MIDI templates "All Parts" or "KBD & Style" on the Genos (set in "Menu > MIDI").

The preferred setting for the MIDI output device in programs such as "StyleMagic" is "Digital Workstation 1" (= Port 1). This controls the SONG parts on the Genos. "Digital Workstation 2" (= Port 2) should only be used for "exceptional cases". This allows you to directly control the STYLE parts (on channels 9 - 16).


Best regards,
Chris

Thanks for your input Chris. I may have had the Genos set up with a MIDI template to suit V console when I set the program up, but I will reset it with 'All Parts', which is the normal template I use without V console.

Hi Terry,

Yes, with one of the Preset MIDI templates I mentioned you are definitely on the safe side.

In the "V-Console" MIDI template, some RECEIVE settings may have been changed. If I remember correctly, certain SONG parts (Port 1) are used there for Keyboard voices.


Best regards,
Chris
