The home organs of old were $4000-$20,000. Multiple keyboards, pedals, volume pedals, sound system built in, etc. If the Genos is 2 inches longer than the Tyros 5-61 and weighs in the 35 lbs range, then it would be a gigging board for me if it does what I need! AND gives me the "I gotta have" feeling.

Tone (The sounds must speak to me!) Touch (Semi-weight) - Look (size, weight, portability)

The Monday I am looking forward to is October 2nd! I have a gig at 1PM and the Genos will be officially announced. Then I will see a real price, real specs, and real pictures!

Then, I will look forward to trying one out... live and in person. I will have to drive to Philly or DC to see one... unless I work out something with the local dealer. I want the feeling I got with the 2 keyboards 🎹 I used the most over my 31 years of using electronic music items. The Korg O1/Wfd and the Yamaha Motif ES were the keyboards that made how I do music possible.

Pa4X is no slouch!!! But I keep an open mind!!

Jonathan Too much COFFEE this morning?...

And the list keeps growing!

Nice!!!

Too much caffeine!!

YES! Come to Philly, and we'll have lunch! Actually, I'll be in Spring Lake NJ for 2 weeks at that time .... come there!

Does the Korg Pa4X for pre-orders only? I haven't seen it at any of the local dealers in my area such as GC, Sam Ash or some of the smaller shops. But I do see Tyros 5 pretty much everywhere. Kinda disappointed Genos might not be in 61key.
