i have read a lot of the early posts on the Genesys keyboard when the instrument first came out . There is very little info on the experience of those that actually own the board now a year or so later and what their views are of this instrument compared to the like s of Korg PA1 or the Tyros keyboard. the posts i have read so far dont deal with the folowing and i would like some advice as i will be purchasing an arranger board by January 2005. I currently own a yamaha psr 8000 and it has served its purpose well . I am an arranger , composer ,song writer and choir leader. Ineed an arranger to deliver my ideas to live musicians and for use in rehearsals with the choir . my questions are
1. What problems have users of this board experienced with the Sampler and can the sampler memory be expanded beyond the factory 16mb
2. Is the 64 note polyphony causing any problems with memebers that use multilayered sounds or complex sequences ?
3. How practical has the onboard CDR been in reality and
4 has anyone actually produced any work on this machine worthy of writing to CD for public consumption.
I play live and do not use a computer for production and would prefer an all in one instrument. I am about to start a project where i will be coordinating and producing the music for a play and need an instrument that i can use any time of day or night with the least amount of setup time and maximum sound quality and recording , arranging functionality. Please help
