My guess would be the cost factor.

Yamaha sells professional MIDI Files for around $7 per title as many other companies.

It would be a big revenue loss for Yamaha if they were to furnish around 800 fully orchestrated MIDI Files to go with every Factory Style in the Genos2.

The dollar value of this hypothetical feature would be around $5,600. It is understandable why they would not give this away for free even though technically it would be a trivial matter to implement.

I would assume Yamaha engineers have spent thousands of man hours dissecting and analyzing each popular song to create the corresponding Styles, Variations and Fills. They already have the Master MIDI File of each song title that was the inspiration behind each Style. So, it would not entail any extra work to add them in the product.

The benefits to the user community will be enormous. A complete beginner can readily audition the true power of the Genos2 arranger. They could display the Chords and Lyrics along with the Score sheet. They could turn on the Guide Feature and learn how to play the melody

A complete beginner could start having fun from day 1 by going into the SONG SETTING MENU and setting the GUIDE TYPE to ANY KEY.

They could play any note on the keyboard and so long they keep up with the tempo, they will hear a professional rendition of their favorite song. It will inspire them to learn how to read music later down the line.

A non-musician of any age would have an instant repertoire of 800 Songs at their fingertips. It will provide hours of entertainment. The process of getting their feet wet into the world of music would be far more enjoyable than taking boring piano lessons.

This may make the Genos2 to be the ultimate entertainment keyboard and generate more sales.
