Since Yamaha shifted direction with the Motif into the Montage... it would only make sense for them to do a similar shift from Tyros to "Genos" or I should say "insert name here."

Yamaha is good at creating something great but leaving enough missing to create this need, want, and desire for more. Give out some golden eggs but never give the goose away!!

I just bought a new digital mixer... Yamaha TF1. On the 31 band EQs on the Aux 1-8 and main stereo bus out, you can only use 12 of the 31 bands. Yamaha makes EQs. One day, I'm going to need to tweak that 13th band and I will be out of luck.

This new board will sound fantastic! A lot of R&D went into this... BUT If they lean too much on iOS to make it do certain things... if they tell you everyone is sequencing in a DAW on a computer and take out the sequencer... if they limit the FX engines... if they don't expand the polyphony enough... THEN I will be disappointed and will have to wait 2 years for an OS update or 4 years (2022) for the GENOS 2!!
