tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	... with our S-Z buddy Steve M today - sorry Donny, no vids, no pics - ... Steve brought his GENOS over and basically we sat at our own KBs, spun the Songbook and played whatever song it landed on ... Played through my Mackie ProFX8 mixer into my Podium 10s ... the speakers handled both KBs, and I was pretty impressed with the GENOS - NO, not enough to go out and buy one - The drums sounded alive and crisp and the bass came through nice and solid, even without a sub ... guitars also sounded really nice I played the GENOS, and liked the key feel, although the 76 keys threw me off a little bit ... BIG negative for me - no onboard speakers - one of the same reasons I would not buy a Pa4X ... Like Uncle Dave I've got to have those onboard speakers coming right at me ... But I can see why those who have one love it ... it's a great board ... Is it the 'best board on the planet'? ... I don't know, I haven't played them ALL ... but I was VERY impressed with Steve's Pa4X when he brought it over also ... And the Pa4x costs less ...

Once I recover from this Illness I just went through I plan on making a few road trips also. Since this happened to me I am seriously thinking about making a few necessary changes with gear myself. take care

For 2 guys who live a mere 20 minute drive away we need to meet up more often if not to jam, maybe lunch or breakfast. Both Genos and Pa4x are excellent boards, there’s been plenty of testimony on the 2. I shared with Tony that as improved as Genos is for live play/gigging musician I give an edge to the Pa4x for the gigging musician. Much of that has to do with the vocal harmonizer’s live controls, it’s more flexible at least this guy finds it easier to control while playing live. We had a great day and as Tony wrote we spun the Songbook and where it landed that’s what we played. Great too I was able to plug into his mixer and use the Podiums in stereo saved me the trouble of hauling my system. As usual Tony was a great host, Lydia made sure we had some tasty food to eat. Just so happens I have to pass The Original Italian Bakery here in my town, so LISTEN UP Donny and any Cannoli fans, you know I just had to stop to bring some for after the jam and tasty they were.

Maybe we'll be able to get together on your next trip to the sunny south. Sure hope so.
