It's so nice to play a Yamaha again. After eight years with the Audya, I forgot how easy some things are:

1. Onboard speakers - so easy to do live recordings with my wife.
2. When the recording is done, the volume level is as it should be.
3. The styles are awesome and there are so many to choose from.
4. With the packs installed, I have things available that I never thought possible.
5. I love the new Yamahasoft styles - they are my kind of styles with awesome guitar parts included.

I will not downrun Ketron, their products are nice. But they do not at all lean towards their users creating 3rd party styles. There are virtually no tools available for this.

The whole Yamaha approach is different. Their members are different. Their forums are different with so many things available. Great to be back.

My dream is clear - I MUST have a Genos - Period! It is my kind of arranger that turns the likes of me on.

Okay, let me go explore some more.

All the best,

Henni
