Genos assign buttons

[OmbDave]

Hi everyone, I hope you are all safe and well in these troubled times.
I have a problem with a new midi file I have created. I have my mic settings saved as part of the midi which include VH and reverb, however the first 12 bars of the song require not reverb but a distant delay (Echo) before switching back to my standard reverb for the main vocal to start. I would like to program an Assignable button to switch the delay On and Off but I cannot work out how to do it so I'm wondering if someone knows how to do this.
Basically I need to be able to turn on Delay and then turn it off again after a few bars
Thank you in anticipation
Dave

Hi Dave

Assignable buttons are not designed for this task. Basically you have two options:

- use a registration to switch the mic effect
- add MIDI events to the file to switch the effect at the end of bar 12

As you asked for a button for switching, here's the idea how to use a registration. I assume the mic setup uses the system reverb and the mic insertion effect is set as a delay effect. Upon loading the MIDI file, the mix for the mic should be set to Reverb=0 and Insertion Effect Delay = [some value as needed]. Then you can swap the values, Reverb = [some value as needed],  Insertion Effect Delay = 0 and store this in a registration, tick group Vocal Harmony/Mic Setting.

HTH

Edit: "mix for the mix" was obviously nonsense, corrected to "mix for the mic"

Thank you for a great answer Michael. It will be my first creation of a registration so wish me luck LOL. You never know it may be the start of a whole new chapter for me.
Once again thanks for your help

Hi Dave
There is a slightly more complex way to insert Sy*** files for what you need. You will use MixMaster for this.
First record the Sy*** string that triggers the desired VH parameters. Then copy that same string to the place in the song where you need it.
Again using MixMaster.

Thank you Ckobu but I don't know anything about Mixmaster, I guess it's some sort of App?
For now I will try Micheal's solution then perhaps investigate Mixmaster in the future
Cheers

The solution offered by Dave is good, try it first and see if it suits you.
MixMaster is a free computer program with which you can do a great job on MIDI, Style or Multipad.

Thank you Ckobu I plan to look at Mixmaster later today. I am not well versed in DAW's etc and do all my mixing, quantising, transposing and settings etc on the Genos itself.
