Geeze - that thing looks like a freakin' surfboard! That's too much real estate for this dude. (I wasn't really in the running, anyway ... I just like to look at new gear. I'm a rubber necker)

Dave the Genos is 48.5 by 18 by 5.75 inches.
Oddly it is very light and was very easy to
Transport. I agee, it is large.

Weight, rather than size, is a bigger issue for me.

Unfortunately, the design of the Genos is unnecessarily big, as well as the fact that there are no 61 keys is a big miss .
And yet I ordered him and I hope he fits the current place, and otherwise the place will have to be adapted.

Impuls cool

In my ears Genos sounds better than my T4, seems like they somehow made it sound less CD'ish.
It's an eyecandy, and screenshots of the touchscreen layout looks nice.
Not gigging anymore, and as "only a homeplayer" this is the first Yamaha kb that really ever tempted me.
T4 was bought mainly because of the huge stylelibrary out there.

Now I have some thoughts about Genos versus PA4X/76. It's a big gap in price, and is it worth it for my use?
Just before Genos was launched, I was close to buy Korg.....
Darn, maybe buy both ................. crazy

Yeah, G-70 is a great keyboard, buildt as a tank and heavy duty,
I regret I sold mine a couple a years ago, same as SD1. Miss both, but still cannot stop dream about a Technics/Ketron mix.
Techtron or Kethnics mix would probably blow the rest away......
....or maybe not. confused

But to at least be able to play all my Roland styles as well as "best of Roland" stuff enclosed, I bought a BK-7m w/FC-7 at local eBay tonight.
Hopefully it will work well connected to my Akai MPK61, KMA or even T4.
We'll see when it get here... confused
