NOTE: in the Genesys series there are two types of operating system upgrades:
1) Complete upgrade which contains new functions and implementations, optimizations, debug and musical resource update (Sounds
and styles). This type of upgrade due to its size is normally archived in a CD.
2) Upgrade patch. It consists of debug and optimization of the system without update the musical resource. Normally the upgrade patch
can be dowloaded from our websiste and easily transferred in a floppy disk to upgrade the Genesys.
