How GrooveFinder works with Genos

  4. Choose a result and use Send to Instrument.

Full Edition

Search up to ten results from about 7,500 musically profiled styles, plus up to five matches from your own library.

Own Library Edition

Scan and search only your own Yamaha style collection, with your original filenames visible.

No Expansion installation

GrooveFinder is designed for a fast playing workflow. It does not require installing a complete Expansion Pack for each search.

Genos questions

Does GrooveFinder play a preview on the PC?

No. A Yamaha style contains musical behaviour and chord-sensitive parts that are best judged on the keyboard itself.

Does GrooveFinder remove styles?

No. Scanning and searching do not delete your style files.

Which Windows setup should I use?

Connect USB first, turn Genos on second and open GrooveFinder last. This gives Windows time to make the Yamaha MIDI ports available.
