How to use the genesys xp as a stand alone unit
This chapter explains the use of the Genesys xp as a standing alone unit, taking care about the functions related with live
music playing.
Genesys xp block diagram
INTRODUCTION
To use Genesys xp live as a stand alone unit needs to be properly configured. The configuration includes these steps to
following:
The Genesys xp owns a structure very similar to a personal computer. It has a RAM memory where all data (operating system
and musical resource data) is loaded. This data is stored in the internal hard disk. The Genesys RAM memory is a backed
RAM memory type, this means that switching the instrument on and off the memory data will be preserved. The backing of
the memory is ensured by a back up battery, the recharge of this battery happens during the normal use of the the instrument.
The internal backup battery after a full charge has approx. one week of autonomy, after this time the internal memory data
will be erased and the instrument will reload the data from the hard disk.
WARNING: Please always back up first in the hard disk =in the CD any type of data you have
created in the instrument (set up, memoryes, preset, etc.).
