Just imagine that screen having touch functionallity?

Would be a dream come true... You could have the screen instead of the sheetmusic stand (with digital pdf notesheets and comtrolls to the sides.. And you could leave the screen away from the pannel, leaving more room for knobs and sliders and physical buttons..

You could have a full mixing console with 16 sliders, 16 knobs and 2x16 buttons direct under the screen... Talk about enhanced functionallity....

I'm hoping Yamaha GENOS will have TOUCH DISPLAY...........

I would bet a months sallary for that... Atleast the size of the Montage... Hopefully quite a tad bigger... But that it will have a touchscreen to me allready sounds as a certainty.

You would lose eye contact, or at least, partially obscure it.

eye contact sitting on stage yes, .....
but at home or studio no problem. Hoping the New Yamaha GENOS has a TILT and TOUCH Display..start saving..

Why should I start saving? I already have this on PA4X! And I'll bet it costs MUCH less than the rumored new Yamaha.

Don I saved this post for future reference lol...just sayin'

Thats a good point, but me just like 95% of all Tyros 5 players are home players...

As an entertainer, a 24-inch monitor would be an utter disaster. Many audiences already tend to believe that an arranger keyboard player is nothing more than a glorified Karaoke player, and some don't believe that we are singing. The less that obscures you from the audience, the better!
