For such an expensive machine they should have spent a bit more on a better screen interface.

At the end of the day as of now it's a disappointment.



I wasn't expecting to hear the bad news so soon....will you be returning the genos for something else or? Appreciate your honesty and reviews its alot of money and people are very curious...good luck to you and your music.

Thank you

That is why Yamaha is still keeping the cat in the bag. Good politicians. Selling us a lot of air and promises 😀😀.

Being a Pa900 guy with no interest in a new board of any kind, I don't 'have a horse in this race', and I respect every one's opinion about KBs, but before 'jumping off the bandwagon' and cancelling orders, don't you think we should have a few more 'hands on' reviews' ?!? ...
I believe frankiev said he was impressed with the Geno's ...
I am sure there will be some 'Yammies' who will love it, and if not, WOW ... rolleyes

As with any important decision I will sit on it for a few days and then make a final determination. I have a Korg pa4x which I recently got and I really love it. It's ease of use and MANY player-centric features that make life easier and knock Yamaha out of the park.

If I do sell the Genos it will be for local pickup (Rockland County, NY) and if anyone is interested please PM me. I also have the Genos speaker system (Yamaha GNS-MS01) that Yamaha made for the keyboard.

Grrrr.

It didn't come with any plastic film on it.

You are 10000% right! Everyone needs to try it in person and decide for themselves, plus use cases are different. For ME this is not a revolutionary keyboard and I will probably be selling it shortly and keeping my pa4x.
