Yamaha is a leader and will have a winner with the Genos. Lloyd

Yes, probably with everyone biting the hype...

But, as the all in one, Genos will fail...

Not to take away from it's merit, we do not know much actually, but a lot of the early users/buyers of such an possibly expensive keyboard, will get it simply because they can and they want. Does not matter if it is better or smarter or nicer - they will get the latest and greatest just because they can afford it.



And it's all alright, but most definitely no one NEEDS a $6000 keyboard to make music.

I hope that Genos will be one more step away from the traditional arranger keyboard towards computer based application that will gradually replace the old technology. Eventually, this is what will happen.

And this idea that it will be too complicated for someone to adapt to it, yes, it is a possibility, but really shouldn't. Things should become easier, no? If it will be, or seem to be too complicated, Yamaha will simply fail the whole idea of a new generation of arrangers/workstations. But I don't think they will.

In the meanwhile, what exactly could this new keyboard bring that would be so game-changing? It's a rethorical question of course. Time will tell.

Not every product is a winner...
it wont be for everyone for different reasons..it might take a few Genos model versions 2,3,4, etc, down the road to get it right just like Tyros,...one way to find out is wait and see. Personally I am flush with what I have and can do with my Korg Pa4x.

What if the Genos Is totally different from the picture we are getting and is considered a Synth workstation.
Then the Tyros 6 appears with a large screen

Might be a double release!!

Could this be the one?
It’s a mockup obviously, but there are quite some
similarities with the lay-out in the video.
what do you think? and will it be too difficult of a Learning Curve?

From Psr Tuorial...
"Hi Guys,

For many years I have about 25 Yami friends. They are living in Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands and the UK.

Like me they are between 65 - 75 years old.
We are regulary in personal contact with each other by e-mail.
None of these guys, except me, is an active PSR Tutorial Forum member.
Most of them are reading our Forum discussions and messages regulary ( like many other people, I guess ) but prefer to discuss these issues privately.

After seeing and hearing the first Genos teaser and reading comments and reactions of Forum members most of them were very impressed by the piano sound of the Genos but worried at the same time. Many of these guys are afraid to upgrade.

For many years my friends are all very familiar with Yami arrangers.
Most of them are T4, T5 and S-serie players now.

However, a lot of questions are arising.

Questions I cannot answer due to my poor technical knowledge.

Perhaps some of our Forum experts might be capable to answer these questions ? That would help a lot, I guess.

There is no doubt in my mind it is too soon and too early to answer many of these questions since nobody is aware of the Genos features yet.
In a couple of weeks we all know a lot more, I may hope.

Plse read their questions as follows. ::)

01. What about the " old " software and third party software collection ?
Will this old software ( packs included ) play well on the Genos ?
02. What about the " new " Genos software ?
Will conversion be possible ?
Will new software be available soon, also by third parties ?
Will this new Genos software be usable for the S-serie too or can we expect a complete new S-serie soon ?
03. What about the exchange value of the Yami kbs ?
Why are the present new selling T5 prices so low ?
04. Will the Genos be another plug-and-play instrument or will it be more a synthesizer and much more technical ?


Your reactions would be very much appreciated. Thank you !

Here's another site with a similar leaked photo:

Yamaha reps are probably sitting back laughing hard at all the hoopla and rumors of all the features etc, of whats to come with Genos...
it's all part of a very well planned out master marketing plan.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

Good Luck

As if they have a cure for cancer.
