INTRODUCTION
The GENESYS keyboard can be upgraded from various devices: 3,5″ Diskette, CD-ROM, Zip, and so on…
The GENESYS keyboard was supplied with a CDROM (code 959000 for standard version or 959012 for German D version) named “CD1 operating system & demo” that contains the O.S. complete with all sound waves, this CDROM is shipped automatically to all registered users at each next upgrading, in any case it (was) possible to ask for it directly from Generalmusic.
Only for STANDARD version, jumping from 1.05 (dated 05/12/2002) to 1.10 (dated 05/05/2003) it is recommended to upgrade the instrument using the appropriate CDROM only, to avoid some malfunction due to the performance improvements about the management of the pre-sets data memory area, starting from O.S. v.1.10 and upper.
Only providing the CDROM “CD1 operating system & demo” is possible to restore all the contents of the Hard Disk like when it goes out from factory.
Due to the considerable quantity of data is not possible to insert the complete version of the CDROM “CD1 operating system & demo” in this CD, but only a reduced version with O.S. only, as normally the waves doesn’t change and the O.S. is the unique part needed more frequently in an upgrading.
