Has anyone been able to get V-Console from Bee software to work with Genos 2? I had it working perfectly with Tyros 5 my previous keyboard, now exchanged the Tyros 5 for New Genos and can not find out how to set up the V-Console with the new Keyboard. Beginning to wish I had just gone for the Original Genos, having a few issues with the Genos 2 a factory reset solved the strange touch screen issue, where some parts of the screen would not respond to touch. But we should not be having issues, with a £5k keyboard.
Thank you for any help.
UPDATE:
Got an email from John at Bee Software, he will be putting out an update for Genos 2 in a few days,
the Genos 1 midi template is NOT compatible with Genos 2
Did you calibrate your touch screen before you used it. I have had no problem with mine.
I have it and manages to get it working
I use a usb cable connecting my table to my Genos 2 - have you got the midi profile for the G2? I think it's the same as the G1.

I think you will find the Genos 2 MIDI template is completely different.

Bill is correct the template for Genos 1 is NOT compatible with Genos 2 Confirmed by Yamaha

Eileen it was fine for a few days then, an area on the right side of the screen would not respond to touch.
Hi Andy,
V-Console v2.3 works perfectly with Genos 2!
If you are unable to set it up, send me an email and I will forward the midi templates.
The touchscreen works well after very gentle (touching) during calibration.

Hi Andy, I have had Vconsole working with Genos2 after having a temporary solution from John Beesly and it involved a new template. I have not used it for a while so I need to get up to speed with what it involved before I can inform you of the method. But it sounds as if there will be an update coming soon.
There are a lot of new voices on G2 so I wonder if he will produce a new version for purchase.
Cheers Terry
Just had an Email from John Beesley, he has a new version for Genos 2 only with all the new voices etc, priced at £45 GBP with 15% off in his spring sale so £38.50.
Cheers Terry
Just ordered my update while the sale's on. The sale finishes on Sunday

Hi Mr Oxford
I have had a good look at the V-Console and it is quite impressive. A lot of button and pedal pushing, even doing the splits at the same time.
You would have to be super fit for that ;D
I now have made up my mind to go the Synth way with the Arturia Mk3 controller 49 full size key keyboard(£168) to control all of my Arturia Synths and other vst's. I was blown away with what that keyboard as a controller can do.
For me that coupled with Genos is the way that i have decided to go.
The thing really is not to get too tangled up with complicted things and have a simple workflow. It's what we all really want, but it never seems to work that way. I am still trying to figure how to get Genos faders to mirror in Cubase and i am almost there after watching a Dom from Steinberg video.
It took a long time getting used to Cubase, but it all works out in the end.
Well, it is all a matter of choices and there are so many these days.
It looks like you can have a lot of fun with the V-Console :)
Check out that Arturia ;D ;D
All the best

I'll bet you will be glued to the box on Saturday ;) or at Wembley :)
Hi John
The V console is pretty impressive. I use it together with a lower manual and pedalboard. You can add several split points as wel as a lot of other stuff.
I'm more for an easy life rather than vst's and synths. Horses for courses l guess.
I was at Wembley in '86, brilliant day. Watching it on the box this time.

I'm getting my Vconsole update on a USB stick, been having trouble with downloads.
