The Tyros is not being replaced by the Genos.
According to a fella I met today who claims to be a 30-yr programmer for Yamaha arrangers, the next generation of Tyros is under development. Using a car analogy, he says the Tyros is a Buick and the Genos a Cadillac. His current task is in the development of a Genos firmware update or 2nd generation of Genos....it hasn't been decided which yet.

I thought it to be incredulous when he said it....but everything else he talked about and showed us made sense. Time will tell.

It doesn't make much sense to me to have the so called Buick at such a close price point to the Caddy, unless they are going to reduce the Tyros price dramatically, and I don't see that happening.

So...

PSR-S775 $1299
PSR-S975 $1999
Tyros 6 $3299 ?????
Genos $5499

I guess it could work! The Genos is listed as a “Digital Workstation!”

My Tyros 4 box had, in large letters " Digital Workstation" printed on it when I got it out recently to trade the Tyros for a Genos.

Seriously..

If the Tyros 6 is an improvement on the Tyros 5, that does not leave much room between the T5 and the Genos..

What would be the point of both a Tyros and a Genos?
