Short demo and request - 04/22/18 01:52 PM
Here is a short demo I did after loading a Genos style, Country Rock 2, into my PSR S970.
If anyone with a Genos wants to take the time, I would love to hear it played on that for comparison.
I wasn't playing anything in particular, just using the OTS settings and jamming a little.

Yes, unless you use Audio styles, the drums are definitely in last place among current arrangers. Genos is supposed to be much better and that's why I'd like to hear a comparison using the same style.

Got it, .......but do I sense a hint of Genos envy?...

Nice job. Harmonica sounded good too!. In parking lot of my 1st of 14 gigs this week 😥 in Cincinnati.

No Genos in sight. Haven't even seen one in person. As I said, I don't even buy green bananas these days as I may not be around when they ripen.
14 gigs a week will not kill you, but it might make you wish you were dead!

Hi Don
Sounding good. I can't find the Country Rock 2 style in my Genos, only the style Country Rock, and it´s not the same style. :-)

Re: Short demo and request - 04/22/18 09:22 PM
It's the same style. That 2 was added to the style when it was converted.

Many of the common 'Country Rock' and 8Beat 'Country Styles' plays quite similiar bass and drums as this,
but that intro used here is not at any Country named styles at Genos as far as I can find at the moment.
Also it seem to me that the bass does go more 'simple stright forward' at the style Don play than it
generally does at the Genos styles.

In my experience styles from other models tend to sound not that well as those which come with the keyboard. I guess Yamaha tries to adjust each style to specific keyboard, because different voices (drums) and effects, even better ones, may change the whole picture not in a good way.
In general, I think that S970 has good drum kits, as well as a "okay" ones (I judge it by S950).

Maybe I'm wrong and it didn't come from Genos!? If not, I'm not sure where I got it, but it works well for several songs. Sorry, and thanks for trying.

Don. it's a pleasure if be for any help, unfornately this C-Rock did not match.
There is some with quite similiar bass/drum styletypes, both C-Rock and C-8Beats to choose from, but not exact match to the one you used this time.

On another forum, Eileen posted a song using the Country Rock from Genos. It was a different style but very similar.
In my opinion the only difference I could hear was the snare was better on Genos.

I have found that (some) same name styles (exactly) in the 3X and 4X were different enough for me to grab the 3X style. Subtle, but different.

All aspects of ANY style can be edited to suit if you know how and want to dig into the KB tools. After all styles are just small smf files to begin with.

Excellent sound! Thank you for doing that! Drums do sound good, as everything else as well.

I have gained some respect for the Genos. Very nice, indeed.

I hear ya! But much easier to grab the style I love - just a stick away
