Jingleman,
My go to keyboard is my Ketron SD7. I just sold my Tyros 4 when I knew the Genos was on it's way to me. If someone is upgrading from a Tyros 3 or Tyros 4 they are going to be very happy with the Genos. I don't know enough about the Tyros 5 to comment. This has to be put into perspective. I have no use for EDM technology. I have never used midi files or MP3 on gigs and don't see a time when I will. So, my interest lies in how well the Genos perfoms as a simple arranger keyboard and it does that extremely well. Also, since using my Ketron SD7 I have been more interested in tweaking styles and that technology is now included on the Genos and is simple to use.
Soundwise, those with Ketron hands on experience will understand when I say I have found NO OTHER KEYBOARD that comes close to matching Ketron's realistic sounds and rhythms.
I believe the Genos drums have been improved but still do not come close to what the SD7 offers.
I am very pleased with the Genos and have zero regrets about purchasing it. I will use the Genos for special holiday gigs and that is exactly why I upgraded from the Tyros 4.
