i think the key added feature is more user memmory



A simple USB stick can cure that.. wink


Not for expansion packs wink

In case of some Roland synthesizers, IMO certain SRX expansions had by far the best sounds of the entire instrument and doubled their value soundwise.

One thing to remember that there is only a 76 key version of the Genos, and that makes way for a Motl version in the PSR lineup like a PSR1000 ( a bit confusing with the PA1000)or something.

Then again, they may just remove the PSR designation from the MOTL line up like they did the Tyros when they changed to the Genos.

So maybe a new mini-me to the Genos will appear in that section; say a Half-Genos or Genos lite , mini - Genos lol.

I personally doubt they will keep it the same as the existing PSR designation due to the fact of the 1. name change from the Tyros and 2. the part update model instead of a full new model. Yes, they are using up parts because of a bigger change in the MOTL models IMO.
