Just proves that buying blind is a no no, and you should always try before you buy. (Or at least make sure you can get a full refund after a trial period)

@abacus Well yes, but keep in mind that many folks in countries the size of the US or Canada live hundreds of miles from any store carrying any arrangers, or any kind of music store, let alone the latest and greatest.

Hey everyone I’ve been sitting back and reading all your posts I tried the Korg for 2 weeks and I hated it I play country music and I can say I never heard worse styles couldn’t get my head around how to create styles on it so I brought it back and got a Tyros 5 and I’ve never looked back I’ve the genos ordered and I can’t wait 😊

The Genos didn't come with any film on the screen.

Thanks for your honest review!

Can you tell me, does the Genos have the MusicFinder as in the T5?
Also, does Genos accept the MFC10 foot controller?

Many thanks and Good Luck!

Zalmang, can you please check something basic about the chord recognition for me?
In "AI Fingered" mode... If you play a single note in the chord recognition area, does the Genos interpret this as a unison [1+8], or a major chord? Thanks!

Guys: Don’t forget the problems with the early 4X as well. Don M. had issues with the screen and early software bugs if I recall.

I realize that at this price point...Yamaha should have a fully functioning board. With their reputation for delivering a great product, they must certainly be working in earnest to smooth out early bugs. At least I hope so!
