I’ve probably got 12 or more hours on the Genos since I got it. I’m loading up my gig songs.

Continuing thoughts...others chime in.

(1) Voices are great. I really like the guitars and pianos. There’s apparently an SA3 voice now.

(2) Styles are dynamic/rich. Country styles are super and with the stuff I play...big deal.

(3) Legacy stuff...styles/voices work well.

(4) Touch screen is smooth, effortless and BIG..love that. Easy to navigate.

(5) Assignable buttons, knobs and sliders make Genos really a flexible keyboard. It can be set up the way I want it.

Note: I had no clue how I would use the knobs above the sliders as all the videos I saw were Arpeggiator stuff. Then I saw that video from that fellow at Bonner’s. Voices/styles can be shaped in real time...this is good. For instance, I was playing a violin, had too much reverb...just made a quick adjustment on the fly with a knob. LOVE that feature.

(6) Voices/styles are pretty easy to edit and save. The system is pretty easy to follow, even for me.

(7) Playlist feature seems to work well...seems to be designed to be used much as setlist is used on PA4X. Songbook vs. registrations? Perhaps Songbook has the edge but then I’m used to using Yamaha registrations.

(8) Voices playing live...this is interesting to me. I’ll try to explain. When calling up a style to save for a song, three voices are also called up. These can be set to your favorite three voices...they stay the same regardless of style called up...i like this.

But if you want flexibility, then hit OTS(One Touch Setting). Now you have access to 12 Voices to use one at a time or in layers. Also OTS calls up multipad sets that are suggested for the style chosen..I like this.

(9) Keys/keybed. Genos keybed is actually better than my S970 and works well. I was too quick to judge first day.

Forum Support for Genos. This is no small thing. There is great support here but then there is also the PSR Tutorial forum.

This all for now. I’ll write more if requested. I still haven’t signed on the dotted line only because of the $$$...don’t know what my future gigging prospects are. But I sure love playing the Genos...I can’t seem to get enough of it. 😊
