Hopefully it will work well connected to my Akai MPK61, KMA or even T4. We'll see when it get here... why not a BK9?

Gunnar Jonny Senior Member Registered: 04/01/01 Posts: 4394 Loc: Norway	Originally Posted By Dnj why not a BK9? Good question. Has been watching for a long time, and nothing to see at local "ebay" or in Scandinavia. Got this stuff at a very low price, and the module will probably fit well for vArranger if I buy later. Or a midi Accordeon ..... _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

Bachus Senior Member Registered: 03/02/06 Posts: 7143	Originally Posted By Impuls Unfortunately, the design of the Genos is unnecessarily big, as well as the fact that there are no 61 keys is a big miss . And yet I ordered him and I hope he fits the current place, and otherwise the place will have to be adapted. Impuls Its typically Yamaha Design.. Just have a look at the Montage 8 Thats really really huge.. As a homeplayer, i dont care about weight or size The Genos looks great, visually. But there is 2 thinks that are important in a keyboard Sound and functionallity _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

I would be first in the queue for a Technics / Ketron, and wouldn't even care about the price. Still some sounds on my KN7000 that are unmatched by any board after all these years and some styles that I cannot manage without. Tony

leeboy Senior Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 2580 Loc: Ocala, FL USA	I think the size is fine...I am a home player...18: deep is not that much...take a measure tape & pull it to 18:...not that bad. As to Korg vs Yamaha....I know its conversed all the time...but for the music I like and play...the Yamaha has sounds and styles that fit that music much better. BUT, the last Korg I had was PA2XPRO. It had a lot of poor quality sound issues...if they fixed them all...then well OK. I have always thought Yamaha arrangers have a nice sweet sound...Just saying....IMHO _________________________ Lee S.

tassiespirit Member Registered: 01/25/08 Posts: 554 Loc: Devonport, Tasmania, Australia	So the Genos is around 4" smaller in width and only about 1/4" in depth, but 3 kgs or over 6lbs lighter than the TYROS 5 76 keyboard; who would have guessed?? _________________________ The problem is not the problem...The problem is your attitude to the problem.
