Someone once said: No hope will not disappoint.
The 1.4 update does not bring much new, but just what should have been on Genos since its release.
What I most expect is YEM, there is no update.

Indeed!
That is exactly my feeling too!

Seems I have to wait for users feedback... I have every weekend gigs, saturday and sunday. If something's happening with this OS, it may become unresponsive to and I "blow up" all the gigs I have...

PS: Could someone who updated it to tel us if Tempo Reset function is included in assignable functions to the buttons?! Tnx

Regards,
Vali

[ckobu]

And I have the same problem with playing this weekend. However, I went to a small risk and made Update. 
Tempo Reset can be added to customizable buttons.
Now we have Style Tempo Lock / Reset, Style Tempo Hold / Reset.

They really don't understand what means Tempo Reset function on other brands, implemented about 10 years ago!

Tempo reset does not mean to reset tempo to initial tempo of style, but to retrigger the first beat of the first measure when you press that button....

OMG, I don't believe they didn't understood that. I think they have to buy some other brands to understand how that function works ...

LOL...

[pchan]

With 1.40, I can't use Foot Pedal to switch On/Off my LEFT VOICE. Please let me know if I have missed something...

[StuartR]

Here's something we haven't seen before on Genos. Looks like this update is irreversible! Has this ever been the case on the Tyros updates?

"* The previous firmware version cannot be restored after updating the firmware to this version."

[StuartR]

I wonder if all changes made to multiple DSPs will now be saved in a registration rather than just the last change made?

A more proper name would be Measure reset because Tempo reset is what Yamaha already has. You can easily use SYNC START. Singers who do not know where their first time in the show is to go back to the music school.

You think, this is what Yamaha meant by "-Fixed other problems." ?

is there not already a 'style retrigger' function on the live control? (There was on S770 so I'd expect it on Genos)

No, only the last edited DSP is remembered.

I wrote the same on 01-06-2019. Anyone else ?

This function is implemented on Tap Tempo/Reset button in Korg, I think from PA50/80, I don't know exactly... I didn't invented it, it already exists on the market!
Sync Start is very hard to use it on a high tempo style, so it's not a solution.
Yes, indeed, is a bad expression of me, because is "Tap Tempo" and "Reset"! So it is "Reset" button. My apologize!

It's not about only the singers, there are songs which have something like 5 or 6 beat in the last measure before fill. It's not only the singer. It's about entertaining, also, if someone came to us to speak with us in realtime playing, we have to reset the style to the first beat to be where it has to be at the moment which singer starts... Also, there are gigs where people came and sing with us, which are not musical prepared, and they don't really know how to keep the beat of style, so we need that Reset function.

But we have to live with that little changes one or two years more, didn't we?! 

[valimaties]

No, only the last edited DSP is remembered.

Sad...

[ckobu]

I agree with you, the market is open. In the people we are told, if there is anything, it can do without it.

[valimaties]

is there not already a 'style retrigger' function on the live control? (There was on S770 so I'd expect it on Genos)

Yes I think it is, but it is implemented to play like in the next beat, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 , 32 ... It splits style measure ... its hard to use it...
Really, its very simple a button to retriger first beat! What is so difficult?! Pfffffff

[StuartR]

I just noticed that the User and Reference manuals are available in text file format. I hadn't noticed that before. The manuals are broken up into files for each manual chapter. I wonder if these could be usefully displayed via the Genos text file display (although without any inherent search capability)?

In any event it appears the text file versions reflect the previous D0 manual revisions rather than the current E0 versions.

[valimaties]

Yes, because I don't think they had time to reupload the new version of text files. Some couple of hours ago, the link of pdf version gives me d0 version, which BTW, was the version for 1.20 OS version!
You have to wait, and I'm sure they will post new e0 version in text format too. And yes, I think that is purpose of those txt files, to load on Genos, to be able to look for, even the search functionality is unavailable!

Regards,
Vali

[Sokratis1974]

So.. The desynchronisation problem of the User Audio Styles (with Audio Phraser) has been corrected to a quite acceptable degree, but not quite fully because the fills and the break don't play in time quite yet.
Also It is still impossible edit another effect on the same channel in Assing Part Setting.
And of course not update in YEM...

[beykock]

EVERYBODY HAPPY ?

I may hope so !

[DerekA]

I've not tried it, but lots of models can display text files on their screen (via text/lyrics button). Not sure if there's a limit on the file size though.

[pchan]

I am not happy. With 1.40, I can't use Foot Pedal to switch On/Off my LEFT VOICE. Please let me know if I have missed something...
