Hello George,

You all don't know me (except Roel de Jonge, Andrea Rotolo and Graham UK) but I've been reading most of the messages sent in this Forum for abouth 3 months now so I simply had to sign in and hop aboard!(correct English? :-))

Do you know if this keyboard also can be used like a monitor (like Yamaha PSR-8000 or 9000 is able to)?

BTW thanks for your teriffic posts on this forum!

Hi René, glad to see that you joined the gang!
Welcome aboard!

I've been offline for a couple of weeks because my wife and I have relocated to Chicago. I just got reconnected to the Internet via DSL. I've been trying to catch up on all info regarding Genesys. Sounds like a killer machine. I am currently using a wk8 megastation so anything new from Gem interests me greatly. Thanks George for your very well done report on Genisys.

Thanks a lot George for that information! I have found A LOT of helpful information out here on this forum and I really appreciate everyone's effort to keep each other informed!

The GENESIS keyboard is simply amazing! I cannot even remember the features that you listed - it is just packed with tons of stuff! I have never seen such a dream keyboard in my life, I am sure those who buy that will be happy with their investment! I just hope it stays in the $2,000 - $2,500 range. $4,000 is way to much money for any type of keyboard. Anyway, I really like the CD Burner and the capability of playing MP3 and audio files from the keyboard itself, along with the other features it offers. Hopefully General Music is successful with this keyboard, because I have never seen anything like it!

Well, again, thanks for that information. See you all around on the forums and Have a nice day,
Ryan

george,

do you have any close up pics of the genisis unit you can scan and post here or somewhere?

george,

does it specify WEIGHT of the genesis in your literature?

DNJ,
there is no specification of weight or size in the press release I received. However, Chris told me it was about 5 pounds heavier than the Yamaha PSR9000.

I tried lifting one end of the Genesis and it definitely felt 'at least' as heavy as the PSR9000. - Scott

That would make it approx 55 Pounds, not to heavy.
