GENOS – MIDI SONG FILE EDITINGRecording 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’.
