Audioplayer,
I have a Ketron SD7 and also the Yamaha Genos and I also find to be true what you are saying in your post. Even my SD7 has a profoundly more live feeling than my Genos. That said, the Genos is really a very good keyboard. I upgraded from a Tyros 4 and there is a huge difference in sound quality and style quality. The Genos touch screen user interface is also very good and easy to use. Perhaps the Genos 2 will add a more live sound.
