I wander...how many of you guys sing at a gig vs no singing.
Let's say for a moment you did not sing at any gigs.....if you could still get them....I bet you might want the Genos for its more and better sounds (especially SA2) as I am guessing most of you guys are pretty good singers and that is your main Arranger VOICE so to speak. See...with me and others that play at home an don't sing, sound is everything...features are nice, and both have plenty, but the sound quality is critical. And for me Orchestral sounds are very important. Don't need any distorted guitars (well maybe occasionally!)but love the nice clean ones, Piano needs to be outstanding as well Genos CX7 Grand is superb for piano solos....

BUT cost is a big consideration and the 900 is still a great instrument...

When I played organ, I chose Thomas (Had a trionon for a while...last one I had was a Celebrety Royale) , then Yamaha after that....both mostly for sound quality. Loved the Thomas cabinets too, and Yamaha had great playing features. (Had a HS8T for several years)

For my needs if I can come up with the cash...I'm getting a Genos.

Donny, If I can raise the funds.....
and I submit if a player does NOT sing, AND they do not do Gigs, they want a Genos at home. Just think about it a while...same reason I bought high end organs in the 70's, 80's and they cost a H of a lot more than a Genos.

If I can not get the Genos, the SX900 is still one nice kbd and I will enjoy it.

Dave, the Sweetwater demo was ok, showed some features....not much of what he played was of interest to me....trying to appeal to younger crowd I guess.
I like Peter Bartmanns demos of Genos real well.
Thanks for the link...love Sweetwater, used to live 15 min drive from them...used to there, ask for a couple keyboards to demo, they would get them from stock, set them up in a room and leave me alone for a while...great people!

Technically ... I only HAVE two. I had one marriage annulled. In my mind, I have
1) a high school sweetheart (Marie)
2) an ex wife of almost 20 years (Donna)
and...
3) a midlife crisis that should've been a sports car (her name shall not be spoken) smile

I have life long friends, and family, and 4 amazing kids from #1, and #2, and no heart scars at all from #3. All that did was cost me money, and embarrassment, and I've been there before - no big deal. smile

There's lots of great Genos content out there. Something for every taste ... except serious singers. (lol)
I know, I know ... the sx900 has the same harmonizer - I will use outboard TC gear when needed. (most times)

Hi Lee,
hope you get the funds together for a Genos, if not , the SX900 is pretty good.
The sx 900 and Genos share quite a few of the same styles, definitely not all, there again I think sx has a few Genos doesn’t have.

Slowly going balmy , I think, after auditioning 1,000’s of the factory styles and deleting duplicates.Finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, thank goodness.
Still I got quite a few out of it.
