Once the DSP unit is assigned to the Song Part, you need a SysEx message to choose the DSP effect type (e.g., British Lead Dirty). The third column is the SysEx message to use. In case you’re still unsure of yourself, here’s a simple table to help you out:įind the row in the table for the Insertion Effect (DSP unit) number and Song Part that you want to configure. You’ll need those hex digits when connecting DSP units 10 to 16 and Song Parts 10 to 16. Hex digits A, B, C, D, E, and F represent the numeric quantities 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively, when those quantities are written in base 10, decimal notation. The hex digits 0 to 9 have their usual meaning. You may already be aware that hexadecimal (hex) is a way of counting (i.e., representing numeric quantities) in base sixteen. (I’m assuming that the MIDI part and channel numbers are the same the usual default situation.) In this example, XX=5 and YY=5, so the final SysEx message is: For example, let’s assign DSP unit 6 to MIDI part 6. The only potential gotcha is MIDI unit and part numbering - it starts from zero instead of one. Where XX is the DSP (Insertion Effect) unit number and YY is the Song part number. The SysEx message to assign the DSP unit to a Song part has the form: When you hear a setting that you like, you can translate the settings into additional SysEx messages and incorporate the messages into the sequence using a DAW like SONAR.įirst things first. Once assigned and the MIDI sequence is loaded, you can edit the effect parameters in the Genos GUI by spinning the faux knobs and such. This is enough to assign a DSP effect preset (and its algorithm) to a Song part. One message to select the DSP effect type (e.g., British Legend Blues).One message to assign the DSP unit to the Song part, and.Fear not! I’m going to give you a head start.Īt a minimum, we need to create two SysEx messages for each Insertion Effect: Many people fear SysEx because the messages are encoded in hexadecimal numbers. This means configuring DSP effects via System Exclusive (SysEx) MIDI messages. I do my MIDI sequencing and editing in BandLab Technologies SONAR (formerly Cakewalk SONAR).
This dialog box is a good way to check that your MIDI sequence is making the correct assignments, too. Genos displays the insertion effect assignment dialog box where you can make assignments. Go to the Mixer, touch the “Effect” tab at the Left of the screen, and then touch the “Assign Part Setting” button. If you’re sequencing on the Genos itself, you can assign Insertion Effects to Style and Song parts using the Mixer. Each unit and its part have the same identifying number. It’s simple then - each DSP unit (Insertion Effect) corresponds to a single Song part. If you want more information about using the Variation Effect, here’s a pair of blog posts for you: PSR/Tyros XG effects and XG effects: SYSTEM mode. Unfortunately, opportunity comes at the cost of complicated configuration. The Variation Effect offers additional opportunities for signal routing and control. Genos also provides a Variation Effect which can be configured as either a System effect or an Insertion Effect. These simple guidelines make it easier to manage track DSP usage when doing the busy-work of Song editing.
Avoid using these Insertion Effect units in a MIDI Song.
I’ve developed a few personal guidelines to help keep things organized: With all this flexibility, effect resource management can easily get out of control. This is true when you delve into the Yamaha XG parameters, too. I will use the terms “Insertion Effect” and “DSP effect” interchangeably. Within the constraints of these three groups, any Insertion Effect unit within a group may be assigned to any audio source associated with the group. Insertion Effect 21 to 28: Style Parts (except Audio Styles).Insertion Effect 20: Microphone and Song channels 1 to 16.Insertion Effect 1 to 19: Keyboard parts (RIGHT1, etc.) and Song channels 1 to 16.There are 28 insertion effect units at your disposal: This blog post should help you get started. No doubt, you would like to put these insertion effects to work in your own styles and MIDI songs. The new Yamaha Genos™ platform greatly expands the number of DSP insertion effects for styles and MIDI songs.
