This is the kind of young talented professionals Yamaha needs to attract a younger audience.

Wouldn’t it be nice, if Yamaha included a Song Preview for every Style just like they have a Voice Preview for every Panel Voice.

They could pick the best song that fits a Style and have someone like Yuuki play through the verse and chorus demonstrating the best use of the OTS and Multipads.

Yamaha could also have Martin Harris play a short doodle for every Style. Martin is the designer. He knows all the hidden tricks to make the best use of this instrument.

Including this additional content would be a source of inspiration for budding musicians.

Many young musicians spend so much time making beats from scratch using Ableton Live, Akai Force, etc. The basic beats and styles that follow your chords with variations fills and breaks are already present in Yamaha Arrangers designed by professionals. Why reinvent the wheel? Why not enjoy making music with the basic building blocks already programmed into an Arranger Keyboard?

The younger generation is mostly unaware of just how sophisticated the Genos2 is with over 1990 voices and 800 styles, Reverb, Chorus, DSP Effects, Insertion Effects, Master Compressor, Master EQ, Mike Effects, Vocal Harmonizer, Multi-track Recorder, etc.
