Gary cool


+1 Spot on Gary.
I have been sitting back and watching people on various forums getting all hyped up. Positive and negative.
Mostly with no or very little knowledge about the product itself.
It's like a comedy show wink
Of course a lot of the naysayers would never buy a Genos and some of them just like to stir things up.
I for one welcome the change with the new Genos.
As far as I know all the bread and butter sounds are still there and totally reworked. All the bread and butter styles are there too.
But of course with every iteration of a new KB they'll show you the new stuff.
When the T5 came out it was all about organ world, ensemble voices etc. couldn't care less about that myself wink
Don't worry, there will be lots more demos from Europe with the good old stuff.
However; it is obvious, that at some point in time all the manufactures have to change course.
Look at KAOSS in the PA4X. How many of you are using it?
It has been said here many times before: you don't have to buy it.

All I want in a KB is better improved sound. HD if you will.
It looks like the Genos will deliver on that.
I understand features. But first and foremost is the sound.
I can always find workarounds.

I played the PA4X on my last trip to Europe.
What a fantastic KB. Korg got it finally right.
I was almost tempted to buy one smile
However having lots of Yamaha Styles that I need made the decision easy.
I think the Genos will certainly fit my bill.
Making a KB your own is so important. I have always done that and was always happy with what I had.
It is not the features, but the playing after all that makes me happy. keys
