Mike, we’ve discussed this point many times on this forum.Yamaha is probably the best (worst) case proving the point that manufacturing costs have no bearing on pricing. They know they have a market that will pay their high price for the Genos. My issue with it is they had an opportunity to level the playing field with the advent of new technology, a new name (Genos), a way to bring this technology to a younger audience, but they went with the same old high priced marketing approach.

Will they sell a boat load (a little pun for Gary😏), probably. But for those who want to tap into this technology without paying the Genos price, they’ll have to wait for the PSR-970 replacement.

So Bachus...your saying that none of the new technology developed for the Genos will find its way into the PSR series arrangers?

Maybe you’ve got an insider at Yamaha...if not, I find that hard to believe.

I remember when I had a Tyros 1. Stopped into a local music store and saw the PSR 3000.
I felt pizzed off that this board sounded exactly the same as my T-1.

I agree that Yamaha won’t make a baby Genos like they basically did with T-1. But they’ll have to improve psr series somehow. Korg does a pretty good job of it with 4X and 1000.

PSRs were around long before Tyros came out.
