Hi Rick,

I am sure Nick at Bavas will be happy to point you to a Generalmusic dealer in your area.

Secondly, yes if you really wanted to copy a variation phrase to an intro phrase you can. You would do this by copying the individual tracks you want from the source phrase into a new or existing style.

Each style has four Variations. Each Variation has its own Intro, Fill-in and Ending (16 phrases in all that we call Riffs). Multiply that by 3 since you can record separate Riffs for major, minor and 7th chords and you have a total of 48 Riffs. A Riff consists of 8 tracks with full sequencer editing capabilities.

Below I have included 3 screen shots showing the Track Copy, Riff Copy and Variation Copy views that may help in understanding the capabilities of the Genesys in this regards.

Hi Dave,
thank you for that.
I know of ( though never dealt with) Bavas Music . Hubby & I used to live in Sydney.
I'll do a bit more investigating.

Interesting style creation functions.

Does the arranger module ( can't remember the name) have all of the same style editing/creation functions as a Genesys keyboard??
Yourselves & Ketron appear to be the only ones still making modules, & unfortunately with Ketron they don't make one with all the same functions as their top of the line keyboard.

I think I actually have one or 2 Genesys owners in my Yahoo Making Styles group, unfortunately I'm not much help to them.
best wishes
Rikki

Hi Rikki,

First let me apologize for calling you Rick. Sorry.

Second, yes the Genesys XP module has the exactly same functionality as the keyboard versions. The button layout is slightly different do to front panel space considerations, but all functions are still available.

Best Regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,
that's ok. With a name like Rikki, most people would assume I'm a male ( haa haa)

Thank you for the info on the General Music products, especially on the xp module, it's one of the few brands I haven't owned before, mainly because I didn't realize they were available here.

You can copy the intro from any style to any other style using any Yamaha PSR or Tyros series of keyboard. You'll find detailed instructions at the www.psrtutorial.com site. There's really nothing to it, and it provides lots of options for any onboard and third-party style. You can also copy and past fills, endings and breaks using the same technique. This feature has been available since the introduction of the PSR-2000.

Cheers,

Gary

Roland since G800..

Hi Gary,
do you happen to know if you can actually copy a "variation" phrase to an "intro"??
I know I can do it in OMB but I can't remember if my ex 9000pro could do it??
I lost my collection of online psr manuals when my computer crashed, and haven't gotten round to downloading them all again.

On the sd1 I'm fairly certain I can only copy an intro phrase to an Intro, or a variation phrase to another variation, I can't mix em up.

best wishes
Rikki

Hi Fran,
I was wondering,
do you happen to have links to Roland resources ie is there anywhere owners can download styles, or get a bit of help for their keyboards.

I'd like to put some links in my Making Styles group for some of the Roland owners.
I'm far too rusty on how I used to record g800 styles.

best wishes

Rikki,

To my knowledge, you are limited to copying intros to intros, variations to variations, endings to endings, etc. Keep in mind, however, that they can be copied from any Yamaha or third party style that has been converted, which gives you an enormous number of options and possibilities.

Cheers,

Gary

Thanks Gary,
I had the feeling that was the case.
