Genesys xp sequencer has a powerful editor to modify or insert multimedia informations like: lyrics, score or chord in a song
file. We suggest to use this function at the best to connect to the Genesys xp a standard PC PS2 keyboard .
D NEXT EVENT
Takes the cursor to the next event
(note or pause).
E PREV EVENT
Takes the cursor to the previous event
(note or pause).
G GOTO LOCATOR
Takes the cursor to the beginning
of the specified measure. Press soft
button G to open the dialog window
F END PHRASE
This command inserts an 'End phrase'
symbol ('I') at the end of a verse. In
the viewing modes Lyrics 1 ... Lyrics
4, when the verses that end with the
"End phrase" symbol are reached, the
next verse starts on a new line. We
recommend that you write lines using
not more than 20 characters, to avoid
displaying incorrectly syllabized words
when the Lyrics 1 option (large types)
is used. This symbol can be cancelled
as any other character by selecting
the syllable with D («Next event») or
E («Previous event»). Select the symbol
with the DIAL and cancel the symbol
with note F2 (DELETE).
Press F4 to open the dialog window:
1) Specify the track with the DIAL.
2) Press ENTER to confirm or ESCAPE to cancel.
If the track contains chords, the analyser withdraws the highest notes, attempting to eliminate notes not related to the melody. A score is obtained with
excellent results from a track containing a melody line only.
The first word, (or the first syllable) of the lyrics should be synchronized with the first note of the melody. Most songs usually have a introduction which lasts
for a few measures before the melody starts. We will use the NEXT EVENT button at the left to step into the song until we reach the first note of the score.
Keep pressing NEXT EVENT until the flashing cursor lands directly beneath the first melody note. Now type in the first word or first syllable of the lyrics.
If you are entering a syllable instead of a whole word, (for example, the .Hel. of the word .Hel_lo!.), finish by adding an underscore character, (which is
located on the top B key of the keyboard), which tells the system that the word is incomplete. Now press NEXT EVENT again and keep pressing it until the
cursor lands under the next melody note. Type in the next word or syllable. Again, if you are entering a second syllable and the word is still not complete,
you must add an underscore character. You only omit the underscore when you reach the last syllable of the word. Continue in this way throughout the
song. You can stop at any time and check to see how your lyrics will appear. First press ESCAPE and then press the LYRICS button. Press START to listen to
the song and check the synchronization of your lyrics. To go back to entering your lyrics, press SONG PLAYER/ EDIT and then EDIT SCORE (F6). You can
quickly locate any point in the score by pressing GO TO LOC at the right side and then using the dial to select the measure number where you finished
entering lyrics last time.
Entering chords is quite similar to entering lyrics. From the EDIT SCORE screen, press F5 CHORD and then use the NEXT EVENT button until you reach the
point where the first chord should be played, (if you need to return to the beginning of the song, press GO TO LOC and then select measure 1 with the
dial and press ENTER). When you reach the point where the first chord symbol is required, simply play the chord on the left side of the keyboard.
