I recently sold my Genesys and got the Genesys XP module instead. The sounds and styles on the Genesys are very decent and the Big Band stuff is over the top. Ease of use and navigation are terrific to say the least. The XP is a big improvement in sounds and I was very happy with the sounds before.

My understanding is General Music will be offering an upgrade kit to make the Genesys compatible with the Genesys S and Genesys XP. The upgrade if my understanding is correct will include a 20 gig hard drive, updated, operating system, styles, mp3 files, midi files, and sounds. The number of sounds numbers over 1500 and no I've not checked them all out yet.

The new Brass, woodwinds, & String sounds especially do not take a back seat to anyone’s board IMHO. Reliability has been terrific, not a hiccup out of this rig.

Portability may be a concern the Genesys is no lightweight. You certainly could consider it as a complete Studio in itself.
