Well, it’s obvious that styles are just a data and what is heard is totally up to the voices in the machine, to DSPs, and quality of audio components in general, therefore it would be a surprise to learn that they sound the same on Genos and PSR-SX.

Also, when users pointed out that not all controls are easy to use with a touchscreen it reminded me that Genos comes with sliders, which may make up for it, and PSR doesn’t have any. I’m still curious if it is easy to mute parts on Genos without looking at a screen; obviously, they can be muted with sliders, but it’s not the same.

I can’t help thinking that Yamaha was forced to use touchscreens just because of its popularity on phones and tablets, but not because there was a real need for it. Whereas on a phone it helps to save space, on a keyboard it’s not that obvious.
