Now, I've never seen a GEM before. And if the answer to the following question is no, I don't need to see one.
Will the GEM in sequencing mode allow me to record 8 bars then copy them and paste them to bar 9 and then allow me to just record and change just the turn around that is just about always different right before the bridge? Then will it let me record the bridge and then can copy and paste the first 8 bars right after the bridge for a complete song? If so, will it then let me copy and paste the whole song for 10 choruses if I want? I think the old Yamahas made you record the whole 10 choruses over again if you made a mistake.


The answer is a big definite YES. The sequencer is very powerful. You can copy and paste to your hearts content. Editing can be done per track down to the individual pitch, bar, beat and pulse level. This is true for Erasing, Copying, Velocity Shift, Quantizing, and Transposition. You can also Move sections of a song (which is CUT and paste in the true sense of the words). There is a Microscope mode if you want to edit at the MIDI data level. There is a Master Track that stores the initial volume level of a song, the tempo and the song key (for the lead sheet display) and which of the 8 Song Presets will be active at song start. Of course all of these things can be changed anywhere within the song by inserting new values within the Master Track at the desired location.

The sequencer has 250,000 event memory. The Genesys can store up to 64 songs in its internal memory. The internal 20GB hard drive, floppy drive and CD-R drive can also play GEM Songs, MIDI files, mp3’s and Wave files. Any song located on the hard drive, no matter which of these formats, can be instantly recalled for playback using the Song Data Base and new Play List function.

I think you would be very surprised by the sequencer in the Genesys.

If you don’t have the answer , please send me a copy of the sequencer mode on the GEM.


Well if I don’t know the answer, then I shouldn’t be the national product support manager for Generalmusic Corp.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

BTW: You do realize what I meant by One Finger Chord Mode, right? I was just trying to help you out there. I don’t really care to contact the guy from Korg, because I don’t really care to know the deficiencies or idiosyncrasies of the i30.

Best Regards,

Dave
