There is no question that the drums are better, and there seems to be more spacial separation, but it seems to me that the whole volume is higher on the Genos, blurring the real difference. So it seems to me, anyway.

The keyboard volumes are the same... just the styles volume on the Genos is louder then on the tyros.. this is preprogrammed... the styles on the Genos have much more pressure because of this.... and thats only possible (peter Baartmans explained) because there is much more spacial sepperation between the backing sounds..

When you put style volume on the tyros as loud as on the Genos, it tends to overgrow the solo parts...

If you say so, but there is always s balance control regardless of the overall volume setting.

But is the difference worth the price vs T5/ if so why?

I think thats something everyone needs to decide for himself..

I went to Frank’s store today to demo the Genos, all I can say is I was impressed! The real plus was that he had a Pa4x stacked on top of the Genos. I did the A/B test and no surprise the Genos excels in some ways and the Pa4x in other ways. Both are superb keyboards but I think we know that anyway. In my opinion the the Genos sounds better than the T5, is it worth the price? To my ears yes, if ya got the budget go for it. I also understand Genos is now on backorder.

Not surprised at your findings at all it really says something for the KORG Pa4x which bows to no other unit today,....but for so much less money and the quality features KORG the Tc helicon VH for starters, etc, etc, etc, offers, it's a no brainer....buy hey like you say if you wanna spend big $$$$ go for it..... enjoy

Ps and the fact that you didnt take one home Steve like you always do says alot too....lololol...just sayin

The volume on the Genos has been deliberately boosted more than the tyros . Similarly the Genoa sound has been equalised to boost the bass and drum to give it a more live sound. And the balance of the instruments on the tyros has been messed with . This is dishonest marketing . I don’t know what the instruments would sound like next to each other but the tyros 5 does not sound as dull as that comparison . Listen to the tyros 5 main demonstration when they were trying to sell it https://youtu.be/hA4BRH_DCsE.

Drums and bass sound great and the styles are properly equalised and balanced . Nothing like the Genos and tyros comparison .

Donny, I didn't plan on taking one home ( yup that's unusual for me) but I just had to try one for myself.
