Quite a few ballads are written in minor keys and minor is definitely not sad. I find that minor key songs have more feeling in them.
These may not be the demos that are found inside the Genesys keyboard, they sound more like a few bars of random styles to me. They were not a patch on the demos of the Ketron SD1 I own, so come on guys, we need to here the actual sounds of the Genesys (piano, strings, organs, sax, guitars...) not some style with one of the ending buttons pressed - how do they expect people to buy one listening to these snippets.
For me the ability to record to CD is most tempting as I'm fed up of having to hook up everything to my PC. I also checked out the Wersi Abacus a while ago but the price was far too expensive considering it had poor quality sounds and styles.
