Korg Fan,
I am probably the only Genesys dealer in the Los Angeles area. I am thrilled to be the only dealer but it is not an exclusive line. As is the case of Ketron, Generalmusic and even Yamaha, Korg and Roland for that matter, not many dealers choose to sell these arranger workstation types of products. This conversation has taken place many times over the years in this and other forums and I suggest that a combination of poor understanding of these products by sales and managment by many stores and a feeling that these keyboards are not being sold in large enough numbers to justify large and small stores to sell them has contributed to very few dealers nationally.
It is not uncommon to see a new product at NAMM and not have it in our stores until later in the year. In fact, this is the norm from Yamaha, Korg and Roland. Generalmusic and other companies get a feeling for how well received a new product is and begins production according to the market's excitment. To have this product in our stores by April or May is actually quite soon in my opinion.
The Genesys Pro is exactly the same keyboard as Genesys minus the speakers, extra weight and the screen will be a pop up type instead of stationary.
