I just remembered another great new feature on the Genesis Chris showed me today. For you jazz players out there, there is a set of buttons (i think 5) to give you quick access to full keybord mode, split bass, split chord, (a few others which I can't remember) and the best is called pro split. With this, if you play a chord on the right hand and just play one single bass note on the left (like in JAZZ type chord style playing) the chord you play on the right hand will produce the bass line on the left so that if you want to change to a C/D you just play the D on the left. The style is choosen by you selecting a style and just a bass line will play instead of the whole accomp. Also, the way the keyboard is designed, when you hit a catagory of lets say Piano, when you hit the split button, an appropriate bass sound will be selected based on the piano sound you choose. I'm not a piano player so Chris had to demonstrate this for me slowly so that I could understand what he was doing. He showed me the way a piano player would typically play with two hand on the piano to create a bass feel.
Also, if you choose the button called chord split, you will get an appropriate pad sound for the left hand. This is a nice touch and of course you can select any sound you might like to have. Again, by putting so many dedicated buttons on the panel, many features are really easy to find fast.
