GENOS – MIDI SONG FILE EDITING

Recording and editing MIDI files has been made considerably easier for the Genos in comparison to the Tyros. All necessary menus
and settings are displayed directly on one display screen. This means you no longer have to waste time sifting through endless
menu screens when editing. The playback control is directly integrated into the editor. At the end, you can save the changed MIDI
file directly from the screen by tapping ‘Save’.

»» Tap the Menu gateway button.

»» In ‘Menu2’, select the item ‘Song Recording’.
