YAMAHA GENOS

Old info dating back to Januar and April..


For "me" Genos should be a cross between the Tyros5 and the Montage with some nice things from the Motif...


We could start with the Tyros 5

And then add the following things from the Montage
- dsp, 2 insert dsp/voice
- 8 keyboardparts
- high quallity alluminium build
- having arp's, and motion sequences for each keyboard part
- the incredible controll section 8 knobs, 9 sliders, superknob, 8(programmable scene buttons)
- having 2 version 76 and 88 key..
- audio over USB interface
- SSS, seamless sound switching
Or even improve on the Montage
- adding a bigger touchscreen with tilt
- 8 GB build in samples and 8 Gb user samples


And then take from the Motif
- pattern sequencer..
- daw integration (comtroll)

But also improve on the Tyros 5
- new synthworld expansion, much like organ world, but Based on emulation, with SC, CA, VL, FM and more.. not as huge as the FMX, but more in line with reface amd old expansion boards..
- organ world expansion, with 5 more organs, comming from the reface YC and another church organ
- piano room (from cvp) with high end SCM piano's and DP's
- 8 multipads instead of 4
- new improved style format. ( yet still backward compatible to old styles)
- build in drum engine..
- chordsequencer
- easy looper function
- many of the live knobs functions of the psr-s970
- hugely improved VH and Vocoder
- lighter and smaller then the current model..
- orchestral version of the ensemble function, with multi divisi..
- expansion managament onboard.. allowing you to store all your samples, styles songs etc directly on an ultrafast SSD...
- no more edditing on a laptop, but onboard, by the use of an external monitor, that has enough room to edit.. the monitor will also be usable as a high end sheetmusic reader and other things.
- 2 USB3 B ports, so you can connect to both a PC as wel as an Ipad at the same time.
- 256 or more polyphony


I think that pretty much sums everything Yamaha has inhouse... except for the new style engine, from which PJ has found some proof in the patent database..



Most important however... is a very easy accessible keyboard... with easy opperating on top... but an incredible depth under the hood.. which allows pro's to create new high end content and share it... and it allows the typical arranger player to make use of this content..

I guess I shouldn't have said New,.....instead just some information and thoughts which in no way probably mean anything as
NO ONE KNOWS anything at this point at all....

What if the Genos shows up (or under any other name) and turns out to be much more than just an expansion of what is already known----more this or that, more knobs, sliders, memory, etc. but, rather, introduces new features that no one has ever seen, heard, or thought about. Some kind of major breakthrough that catches players by surprise-----something never before seen in an arranger?

If that's the case oh baby get your check book ready lol. $$$

Some will like it, some will not...

For the average arranger player, ease of use of the feature is very important...

The information in the patent articles might have been old to our knowledgeable techies(compliment), but it caught my interest enough to read and learn from them. Thank you for posting.

Your very welcome Bernie....maybe more info will leak out about whats on the horizon from Yamaha and others soon enough.

Yamaha and leaks? when did that happen?
