2. I don't want to do tract by tract sequencing. Does the GEM sequence with the styles and still have all of the copy and paste features? This is what I do. I don't have the patience to sequence track by track. It'd take me 6 months to do one tune.
3. How much does this baby weigh?
4. How many styles does it have?
All the arrangers have hundreds of more sounds than I'd ever use. For performance it’s all about styles for me. The more the better.
Dave thanks for all of the input.
Hi,
[*]Please send an e-mail to me requesting the dealer name and I will promptly reply via e-mail.
[*]Yes. It is very easy to record a full arranged song while playing in Style Mode. We call this method of recording ‘Easy Song Record’ mode. A song recorded in Easy Song Record mode is exactly like a song recorded track by track. There is no difference between the two, nothing to distinguish the fact that the tracks were created simultaneously by using the arranger section. So yes, all of the editing is available.
[*]The Genesys Pro S weighs 41 lbs. and is very sleek in shape. The LCD pops up for play and folds flat for transport to make for a fairly thin case. We also offer a very nice padded gig bag with wheels which I have but I generally just carry it because it is not that heavy.
[*]The Genesys has 256 internal Styles and 64 User Style locations. You can record your own styles from scratch, or you can copy any internal style to a user location and edit its tracks using the very same editing functions that are available in the sequencer section. Or you can download additional styles from www.musicmediasoft.com and other sources.
BTW: I forgot to mention that the Genesys sequencer has 32 tracks instead of the usual 16. There are a lot of advantages to this besides just having an additional 16 tracks to record into.
- Each track of a sequence can be assigned any MIDI channel and whether it will play locally, externally or both.
- Multiple tracks can share the same MIDI channel as well so you can double up on parts or have a huge layer as the live keyboard sound while playing with a sequence.
- The Genesys features two sets of MIDI In/Out/Thru ports for true 32 MIDI channel capability.
I made mention of a Song Preset in a previous post. Each song has 8 presets that are saved along with the song (in GEM Song Format). A Song Preset remembers;
- Sound assignments for all 32 tracks
- All editable track parameters
- All effects assignments
- Pedal and wheel assignments
- Mic level, vocal effects and vocal harmonizer settings
- Programmable Pad assignment
I will be on the lookout for your e-mail.
Best Regards,
Dave
