This is great news for all Genos owners.....
expanded memory, chord looper,
more new styles etc,etc,..
so I guess paying $5k is little by little more worth it....
but this might mean NO Genos 2 coming at Winter NAMM....
how long will they keep updating OS VS a totally new deigned unit
and is this becoming the Normal thing even for KORG Pa4x?..we'll see...

"....so I guess paying $5k is little by little more worth it...."

Well, I guess most of the G buyers did not pay that much, not even I did.
But full price is / was at that level. Anyway, 4k$ + is not cheap either. wink

It's a huge update, so we'll see at 15th Nov when it's ready to download. How much capacity there is left to further major steps remain to see.
So far it seems to be at no cost for the users, probably 'buildt into the price' for the unit..... shocked

This is good news that's for sure seems like they are taking a page from the Korg playbook doing software upgrades.

so what does this mean for arranger keyboards down the road...
OS updates only & many years in-between new models?

If they at the end manage to deliver hardware that stands up for years and is capable to swallow lots of softwareupdates, it's great.
But, it's probably poor business for both the companies and distributors?
And not to forget, it may be a nightmare for Donny that have to wait much longer for new arrangers to try out. wink laugh
