Never said that the Gem Genisys was an open keyboard. It just integrates the features of a workstation and arranger. Same thing with the Korg PA2x pro.


The instrument does play a part in how good you can sound but IMO it does not and should not play a part in someone sucking. With today’s keyboards regardless of which one you have it is all about compromising and figuring out workarounds. As the Yamaha fans have shown, just because a keyboard does not have 76 keys does not means you must suck.
Sucking really has to do more with the person than the instrument; as you Diki have demonstrated. You are very good and proficient on the G70. But remember a member left the forum after he posted music done on the G70 where you essentially thought it sucked.

Same instrument different results.

And, the trick in making your own styles is not for them to sounds like a factory style, but to make it where it would best suit your particular style of playing and the type of music you play.

The type of keyboard you are advocating is already hear. It is the Korg PA2x pro.

If you are saying that people can not make their own styles and would not be able to get VSTs to work with styles, what would be the benefit of having open expandability on a content driven keyboard where the user can not use the open potion of the keyboard.

For the minuscule amount of editing that you say people are able to do, the Korg PA2x pro or the Gem Genesys provides users with enough to keep them busy.
