Genos to Genos2

[Colin D]

Hello,

I'm upgrading my Genos, how do I copy my styles, registration, play lists, expansion packs and settings to the Genos 2 please?

If you have a laptop, or a PC near the keyboard, you can use the Storage Mode, i.e.
----switch off the keyboard
----connect a printer cable from the Genos to a laptop
----switch on the laptop, then the Genos (while holding down the PLaylist button, ca 3 sec) [Thanks Fred, I forgot this...;-)
----now the Genos acts as a USB drive:

Copy all folders to your laptop, except the folders Expansion and System.
Copy/Paste the folders back to the Genos2.

The content of the Expansion section can not be copied/pasted and has to be compiled by YEM (with new keyboard ID & modified packs) and programmed into the keyboard.

If you don't have a laptop you can copy/paste all those folders to a USB drive. It takes a bit longer, that's all.

One addendum to Stijn's post:

-- you need to turn on the Genos while holding down the Playlist button.

Cheers,
Fred

You will need to download the converted Expansion packs so that they will work in Genos2. Also don't forget to download the two packs we are given when registering your keyboard. The complete Pack and the DX7 pack plus the new Playlist which now has around 1600 entries on it.

Thank you all, I have the details

How do you install the download to Genos 2, is it the same process please?

Yes Genos2 works the same as Genos1. Save the packs to the YEM and save the playlist to your USB that is going to read USB1.
