It's time to say the truth about genesys !

the sampler of the genesys is only "8 MB OF RAM" and canot be expandable.

If the sampler is really important for you, you will be sad with the genesys.

I buy one, and my dealler tell me we have 64 Mb for samples... but it's not true !

The Genesys can read AKAI And Kurzweil CD ROMS ! VERY GOOD , but... IT CAN'T LOAD THE SOUNDS FROM THE CD! BRAVO!!!! You must copy the sound into a floppy disk, and load just very little sounds !

Now, I ve heard someone tell me about a new genesys oriental..
I just want to wait for it, and see if I can load the oriental stuff into my genesys pro, even if i must replace other western things...
I have a genesys and I never played with it... it have some good ideas, but sorry, I have a Ketron SD1 beside the genesys, and we can't compare the groove, and overall sound quality...

Ok, some sounds are very seems to ketron one, I think they are using the same samples for sax and violin, but not for drums !

The sampler of the Genesys is the same shit as the Ketron one... SD1 have 16 Mb vs 8 Mb of the genesys, but in facts The SD1 don't manage good the memory, so the 16 Mb are used with 8 Mb of samples (or less) !!!

The engine of the Genesys is more powerful than Ketron, more flash, more HD, more functions, CD Writer, a lot of buttons and sliders, CD recording, MP3 Play... but musically I prefer Ketron, the sound quality is better to my ears, and the styles !...

Now there is a thing we must consider...
The Genesys have a very Big Flash memory of 64 Mb for internal samples... I think there is some memory free in this flash ram...
If Gem can say to experimented users how to put our sounds in the flash free memory, it will be a good things for this keyboard.

I m really waiting to see if i will be able to load the futur oriental wavetable and styles of the genesys oriental comming soon, into my genesys... If not, I can sell my genesys today because I don't have any usage with it for now, and just wait for the next Ketron keyboard...

I hope I tell the truth that I did'nt know when I bought my genesys !
I don't say to you to not buy the genesis, but you must know the pro and cons...
