Urgent help: How to go back to beginning of the MIDI song (bar 1)

[SG2009]

Hi,
I just recently upgraded from Tyros to Genos. on the Tyros there was a STOP button and when we pressed the Stop, it went to the beginning of the MIDI file which I love the function. However, on the Genos, there is no STOP button and when I press Play/Pause, it pauses only and does not go back to the beginning of the MIDI song. Then if I press, the PREV, it goes to a different MIDI file and that's a significant concern. Are there any tips or tricks to go back to the beginning MIDI song without another MIDI song pulled? This is a HUGE function that I missed.

Can we do a custom button for STOP MIDI file?   Please help.

Thank you in advance for your help.

You can modify the action of the Prev (rewind) button.
Press [MENU] - [Song Setting] - [Play] and change "Song Previous Type"  to Song Top Only

This returns the playback position to the Song top, and does not move to the previous Song.

Stijn, Thank you. I did not know this, is this really in the Owners manual? because I did not locate it as I read through them.

You won't find it in the Owners manual but in the Reference Manual, pages 73-74.
Here's a download link, see section Manuals:

Hi SG2009,

Please first check which firmware version is installed on your Genos (in "Menu > Utility > System > Version"). If V2.13 is not yet installed, I recommend downloading and installing the current firmware here:
>>> https://uk.yamaha.com/en/support/updates/firm_genos.html

By the way, the feature mentioned by Stijn was introduced with Genos firmware V2.00. (See the "Version History" on the firmware update page linked above.)

Regarding manuals: You may currently have outdated Genos manuals. You can download the current versions of the Owner's Manual, Reference Manual and Data List here (as already mentioned by Stijn):

Best regards,
