I agree with Don, I've never seen a Gem, and never heard of anybody that plays one, I did find them on the internet a few years ago and was interested sounded like a great board. I sent away for some info and the name of a local dealer, never got it.
Roland sends out video demos, Yamaha has alot of great groups and forums and creates alot of buzz.
I wonder how many guys started on a 3 or 4 hundred dollar yammie then went to psr 2000 then 3000 or whatever. I grew with the Yamaha brand. Roland wasn't accessable to a beginner, not just price but couldn't find one.
Ever hear of Joey DeFrancesco? He is now a GEM Genesys owner. How about Don Grusin? He uses a Promega 3. How about Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, John Tesh, Larry Williams, Joe Vanelli.....
As for not getting a response to your request for information, I apologize for that. It was before my time at GEM and that sort of thing does not happen any more.
We have streaming video demos on our website. I will be re-doing the current Genesys demo as soon as I have completed the Promega series, RP series and DRAKE Physical Modeling videos. The current Genesys demo was done by Chris Anthony who is one of the best sound/style programmers around. He helped design the Genesys.
Best Regards,
Dave
