Okay time to spill the beans...
Dave showed me features for about an hour and a half..
I previously asked Dave some questions via email that he answered prior to the demonstration..
Primarily I asked about:
Can you select,search any of the formats[smf,wav,mp3]while one is playing..likewise while playing in arranger mode?
Dave answered..not exactly--butyou can make a data base of the above, the limitation is you have to remain in the folder group selected___if you go out of the group___what ever you are playing will stop..This is a work around,but not as good compared to Ketron Midjay..
I asked Dave if the Genesys Pro can change the key of a MP3 or Wav in real time..his answer..no.. The Midjay can change Wav but not MP3's...
I asked Dave if a drum track can play[realtime] with a SMF[like Yamaha]..he said no..Not without recording the drum track to the SMF..

One of the things I like to do,is have the option of assigning the SMF channels[multiple,to a single vocoder channel..as example 1.3.4.5 to channel 5],,I do this with the G1000 and an external harmonizer. I have not found any instument yet,that can send this assignment to it's own internal harmonizer.
Dave is going to investigate this further.
These are the topics I asked before the demo..

Now for my views[initially]..
First..The Genesys Pro is built solid[it reminds me of the SD1..only with 61 keys].
The buttons are solid.Layout is good[have to get use to it though].
Some multiple windows,with a handy escape button to take you back to the previous window.
Screen is two tone,not very large,but okay..
Key feel is very good..again reminds me of the SD1, and the PA1X..
The harmonizer sounds good,especially Dave's illustrations..up to 4 part harmonies..Quick assignable edits for the harmonizer.
Edits for the sounds are excellent.
Just about any parameter is available.
It will compete with stand alone workstations.
Controller features are very good, including velocity switching of tones[like the G1000]..
Continuous controller options abound also..

Sounds are subjective,as we always say..
The acoustic piano is decent..I still prefer the Roland acoustic pianos, but I think the Genesys Pro piano is better than Yamaha's piano..Again it reminds me of the SD1..
The only sounds I actually listened to were:
good strings,good trumpet, decent guitar, good bass..
Organs were a mixed bag,like all instruments.
Presets ranged fron average to good...None sounded as good as a VK sound source..
I didn't quite figure out access to effects, including the rotary effects..

What I like about the Genesys Pro in recap:
[keep in mind, I only spent a little time with the instument].
Solid construction and keys..
Strong edits.
Great synthesis parameters.
MP3 and Wav playback.
Strong harmonizer.
Recording[audio] functions and burn to onboard CD burner..

Over all the Genesys is a great instrument, that may find it's way in my studio...My other considerations remain..G70[still have to play it] and Midjay[spent a day with it , but have to try it again to see if some bugs were fixed..

I'm sure Dave will be happy to elaborate on some of the things I mentioned..
