cool
Excitement not dead, in fact I get more excited for each time the 'beast' is powered up, but .....
This video is a great demo, and been at YT since Oct 2017 or so.
If I remember it correctly, it has been posted and discussed here and at PSR some time ago,
maybe more than once during the months that passed?

I don't know about excitement, as I haven't really gotten excited about the Genos, but I generally find my own demos to hear on YouTube and really don't find it necessary to comment on every post I see.

As I understand it, this demo was recorded by Kraft Music, and Yamaha made a similar demo for their YouTube channel with the same guy in the same shirt.

It is a decent demo, but I have an impression that the player is a bit uncomfortable, trying to play not making mistakes rather than to play passionately.

I feel that Yamaha still underestimates the importance of good online promotion, although they are more active in this aspect than others companies. With Genos they decided to shot some interviews with some musicians whose “honest” opinions are supposed to be influential.

So far I haven’t seen a proper video presentation of Genos by Peter Baartmans – there’re some videos not in English which look more like unofficial recordings.

It’s weird, because usually companies spend tons of money to promote their products, artists, songs, etc., but when it comes to keyboards it looks like “ah, well, here is one thousand dollar, spend this money wisely”.

My opinion is that you do not just play something with no mistakes if you are to present a keyboard to the whole internet; you use this time to show something really beautiful and passionate. But it’s not up to the player, it’s up to those who should support the player to do so, and I speculate that there’s just a pressure like “well, lights are set, camera’s ready, we have one hour, play something” and the player does his best.

In my opinion, they just do not use the whole potential which music can provide to make a deep impression of a product.

Kabinopus you are very correct in your thoughts,.....but marketing is a strange animal with so many cooks in the kitchen involved in so many ways with alot of money involved. Bottom line is to sell sell sell and make $$$$$ as the profit window to do so is very short before the next unit is ready to be marketed to the masses and before the competition gets the jump on them and others. And if it doesn't sell they will repackage parts into another unit down the road.
It's a never ending game.
