Using the Nectar Pacer MIDI Foot Controller with the Yamaha GENOSI got the Nectar Pacer MIDI Foot Controller to work flawlessly with the Yamaha GENOS.
The Pacer has 24 Presets.
I programmed the 10 Switches in Preset A1
Each Switch is programmed to transmit CC messages on MIDI Channel 16.
Connect the Pacer to the MIDI IN Port B on the GENOS
Turn on the Pacer
Turn on the GENOS
Make sure the GENOS is set to receive MIDI messages from an External Controller via MIDI IN Port B on MIDI Channel 16
MENU | Menu 2 | MIDI | External Controller.
To keep matters simple, I am using the default mapping of Preset =
All PartsActivate the following 3 buttons:
• ACMP
• OTS LINK
• AUTO FILL IN
Make sure the SYNC START button is engaged.
Press Switch 1 on the Pacer.
This will activate INTRO 2

http://davidapps.net/pacer/pacer_genos.zipI am delighted with the easy integration of the Pacer MIDI Foot Controller with the GENOS.
This is an excellent device to have if you are using an 88-note Digital Piano as a controller keyboard and find it awkward to reach up to the Style Controls on the GENOS.
