Genos 2 Registration Edit Issue

[GrantB]

Hi, I have been making new registrations on Genos 2 but have encountered a problem.

I  have a completely free blank registration and I want to to save it as Poetry in Motion, however when I save the bank it comes up with the previous registration I made People and this continues through all the five banks I make which means I then have to go into Registry Edit and change all the banks back to Poetry in Motion instead of People which is very time consuming.

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong or is this a bug?

You appear to be confused about the difference between a registration bank and a registration button.

A bank is the set of all 10 buttons stored in the file. When you go to Registration Edit, you're changing the name of each button, not the name of the bank.

I personally don't care about the name of the button. Others do, so it's up to you. What's most important is the bank (fike) name.

Cheers,
Fred

You're doing nothing wrong and I wouldn't call this a bug... it's just inconvenient in certain situations, i.e. when we create new registration bank.

The thing is, there's actually no option to create new (blank) registration bank -we only can modify what's already inside registration bank. That is, when we save registration bank (by using new name), the content doesn't and shouldn't change.
Anyway, if we created new registration bank, it's a good practice to give each registration some meaningful name before saving -that way we will later know what purpose each registration has.

Hi.

If your goal is to create a new blank registration bank to have as a staring point, it's possible in quite a easy way.
I remember the steps was posted here long time ago, but cannot find the thread.
However, Google did the trick:

https://www.epianos.co.uk/how-to-make-a-blank-registration-set-on-a-yamaha-genos/

How To Make a Blank Registration Set on a Yamaha Genos:

1. Turn the Genos off.
2. Hold down the far rightmost black key (it's an F#!)
3. While holding down the key, turn the Genos back on.
4. The registration bank will now be cleared.

Btw. Remember to save it as *NewBlankReg* if you want to have a copy ready to load without turn on/off the keyboar next time.
Also if you have personal setting, like pedals, splitpoint etc. just save it in first memory button, then you'll have it ready to carry on.
