1Introduction
This manual describes how to connect SongBook+ with the new Yamaha Genos keyboard.
Information how to connect Yamaha Tyros or Yamaha PSR keyboards can be found in
another manual named „How to connect YAMAHA keyboards with SongBook+“.
(The old connection as described in that manual is still possible with Genos, but we
recommend to use the new connection as described here in this manual.)
2What are the benefits of connecting SongBook+ with Genos?
2.1 SongBook+ controls Genos
When a song in SongBook+ is opened, SongBook+ can send MIDI commands to select the
corresponding registration in the connected keyboard. So you don’t have to manually
switch anything on keyboard during your performance to start playing the next song.
2.2 Genos controls SongBook+
If you prefer to select your song from a registration on the keyboard, then the other
direction of remote control is available. SongBook+ can automatically open the matching
song and display the corresponding PDF file as soon as you select a registration on the
keyboard.

3How do I connect SongBook+ with my Genos?
3.1 Using WiFi to directly connect the keyboard
The Yamaha Genos has a build-in WLAN connector.
It can either connect an existing WiFi network (Infrastructure Mode) or act as WiFi Hotspot
(Access Point Mode).
The Yamaha Genos can then act as a Wireless MIDI Server and SongBook+ is the Wireless
MIDI Client. In the MIDI Settings of SongBook+ you activate the Wireless MIDI Client and add
the IP address of the Genos as host.
The easiest way to connect the Genos is in “Access Point Mode“. In this mode the keyboard
creates its own WiFi network and you need to select in the WiFi settings of the iPad this WiFi
network of the keyboard (“ap-Genos-…”). The IP address of the Genos is then 192.168.0.1.
Alternatively, you can integrate the Genos into an existing WiFi network, but the IP address
of the Genos will then be different.

In the keyboard you can find the settings for WiFi connection with the button „MENU“, then
change to the tab „Menu2“and select „Wireless LAN“.

3.2 Using a Bluetooth LE MIDI Adapter
You can also find wireless MIDI Adapters that are recognized by the operating system of the
iPad as Bluetooth MIDI LE devices and these can be used by compatible apps.
Pairing of the adapter in the Bluetooth settings of the iPad is not needed. SongBook+ has a
“Bluetooth LE MIDI devices” function to establish the connection to the adapter.
(e.g. Yamaha MD-BT01, Yamaha UT-BT01, QuiccoSound mi.1, Zivix PUC+)
Note that the Bluetooth LE MIDI is supported only by iPad 3 or later.

3.3 Using USB-MIDI directly to the keyboard
Keyboards with a USB to Host port can be connected using a USB printer cable. As the iPad
doesn’t have a USB connection, you need an adapter (commonly called a camera connector)
to connect the iPad with the USB cable.
3.4 Using a USB to 5-pin MIDI adapter
Many USB to MIDI cables can be also used with the iPad. The cable is connected to the 5-pin
MIDI port (either midi A or midi B). Since the iPad doesn’t have a USB connection, you need
a camera connector to connect the USB end of the cable to the iPad.
To avoid the adapter draining the iPad’s battery, you can use an active USB Hub (with power
supply) between the iPad and USB MIDI adapter.

3.5 Using a MIDI adapter that can be connected directly to iPad
You can also find MIDI cables that are designed for use with Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone,
etc). For these cables, the camera connector is not needed.
Note that only a few of these adapters can charge the iPad while it’s being used. Consider
that feature when buying such an adapter.
(e.g. adapters like iConnectMIDI2+/4+, Alesis ioDock, Behringer iStudio IS202 or the iRig MIDI
only in the old version 1 can charge the iPad.)

4Check the MIDI connection
In the toolbar of SongBook+ you can find a MIDI button with integrated MIDI activity
indicator.
There you can see if the MIDI connection is working correctly and the iPad is receiving MIDI
signals from keyboard.
If the connection is not established automatically, you can find here also a function „Restart
MIDI“ to re-establish the connection.

5MIDI settings on keyboard
There are no specific MIDI settings required in the keyboard.
6MIDI settings in SongBook+
In MIDI settings of SongBook+ it is recommended to enable the switch „Show MIDI button in
Toolbar “.
MIDI-IN and MIDI-OUT must be enabled.
As control mode select „YAMAHA Genos Registrations (with link)“.
