You know there is a key touch setting that makes a major difference to me on Yamahas. Set it where you like it.

Yep!

Good point. Tx

Genos in house, and the first impression is actually not too bad.

Unpacked and sat to replace T4, it looks nice visually. Black is back, missed that since the KN days. In fact it's not black, it's very deep dark grey close to black.
First thing to do after setup was the update to v1.10. Smooth and easy, no problems.
Keybed feels great, looks very much like T4, but more "punchy", not quite as soft as T4. But, I like it that way!
Touchscreen and OS layout is nice, modern and "up to date" visually, nice touch response as is, and very configurable to personal like.
Yamaha has worked a lot with the styles, also most intro/end/fills I've tested till now are updated or redone. All to the better as far as I hear it till now.
The Revo drums is great, and the bass and drums do sure make things more live.

Older Tx/T4 stuff loads and play just fine as far as I can see by now, but not tested much because it's so much new to explore. It looks like a fresh Genos start and to create new "playlist" is better than try adapt everything from older existing archives.
Did not manage download free packs and stuff as described from Y-Soft, code to free stuff was not valid, nothing at the Yammie site did as they write it should in the welcome mail.
(Download and install stuff from the resourse site, like updateed T5 files, programware etc. no problems at all, packs also installed well at Genos.)

Even if I'm a lot more pleased by this new Y model than ever before, the overall sound is still very "Yamaha'ish" out of the box. A bit too "cold and CD'ish", my taste is a bit softer and warmer, but that is very personal, also probably 'old fashion' if listen to all modern stuff there is nowadays.
But again, it's as I mentioned after heard and seen YT demoes, the best sounding Yammie arranger till date.
Have to say that, just to defend the huge dump it caused in my wallet.
No, seriously it looks good so far, it's going to stay and we're probably going to play together for a long time, and then in not too long time add a Korg PA to replace the MA at the top of the rack.

GJ congrats on your new genos & good luck with it .
I would say more but after getting blasted & labeled a "hater" for being honest on another post about genos I will leave it at that. Please dig in and keep us up to date with your progress we all learn from each other.

Take care

Good move, GJ. Genos and a PA - best of both worlds. Plenty of scope there.

Tnx guys.

Donny, just keep on as you do, don't let the "hate" remark affect you.
Keep'em comin', every one can agree to disagree without be "haters".
Damn, I hate haters.
After all, this forum is a great place as we can speak out about most matters as long as we behave as civilised people. (tnx to Nigel)

Yes 124, but the real plan was to keep T4 and add PA4X-76, and then look at Genos later on....
But, now it will be the oposite way, so maybe Korg have a PA5X when I'm ready to add one.
Never as bad as it don't be good for anything.

I made today a quick recording after i modified the Lester K rotary unit with a foot switch for speed control .

Really nice, sounds good.
Btw,
"the wasted space" as it is a tread about on PSR forum is not wasted at all,
perfect place to have boxes like this .......

Please pardon my ignorance.... but why would you need a unit like that extra when you have such a fantastic keyboard that cost so much doesn't it have good rotary sound already?
