Better, but not an Audya in the sound department.

This is the best Genos video I’ve seen to this point. Good audio; no talking; lots of styles shown and lots of vocals. This is what I’d want to see, if I saw someone live on the Genos, or any arranger for that matter. I absolutely agree! And, to me, at least, it sounds very live. This is probably the best Genos demo I have seen thus far. And for those that claimed early on it would not be a good keyboard for live performances, this guy is living proof that if you set it up properly it can be fantastic on stage. Loved the vocals, and from my perspective, they were crisp, clean and clear, so that VH2 seems to have improved somewhat. Gary

Tony, I thought that was Lydia checking out your next, new keyboard.  All the best, Gary

When I first listened to Genos demos, I thought the drums and acoustic pianos were improved over the Tyros5..
I listened to many comparisons to Tyros5.
Many of the drums the Genos demoed varied, some sounded great others were bland..
The Tyros5 comparison enlightened me to what was going on,,
Yamaha cut the presence from low mids and lower.. over compressed the drums... When identical sounds were compared you can tell easily they messed with the sounds.. They are not better than Tyros5..
If you ,listen close to SudClaviers comparison you will notice the Tyros5 will distort once in a while... they chopped the bottom of the Genos to avoid this..
The result the Genos lacks "punch" needed for a "live " sound..
Sometimes the demo sounds like they have a blanket over the speaker.. Genos lost clarity compared to the Tyros5 on identical sounds and rhythms.
Like others mentioned we have to wait to play a Genos before any final opinions can be verified.. Fran, The Genos sounds good online and im sure even better in the flesh -I too have watched so many demos and now its already becoming old news in my eyes and ears. Initially I was going to jump right at a Genos with the intention to sell my PSR S970 and G70, and maybe even my Motif XS becuase I thought the Genos would incorporate some synth functionality... I was highly mistaken. The real problem I have is that I own a G70... and every time I turn the G70 on and play it, I just say to myself - this keyboard is just too good to let go... A good problem to have though isn't it ;-)
