Korg sounds 'drier and softer' as it is here. Fits my taste well. Genos has a lot of effects right out of the box that make it sound more 'crisp and wide'. + for sax and guitars. As most of you say here, both are 'King of the hill' no matter what you choose.. I wish I could have both of them here right now ...... _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

The only voice on either that to me was different in a way that I didn't like was the Sax which to my ears sounded significantly nicer on the Yamaha -but this might well be reversed comparing other sax voices. There is an organ comparison in there but neither blew my socks off, both lacked depth. As a long term Yamaha user I would get the Genos if I had the opportunity. If I was a Korg user then I don't think there is sufficient difference to justify a change unless you really want to go from the Korg sound to the Yamaha sound. _________________________ John Allcock

Bachus Senior Member Registered: 03/02/06 Posts: 7143	Originally Posted By Mikem Originally Posted By Bernie9 Unless, I missed it, I didn't hear a B3 sim comparison. I too, thought the sounds too close to be decisive on that criteria alone. If Yamaha's SuperArticulation voices would've been compared to the Korg's DNC sounds, then the winner would be easier to choose. Keep in mind, too, Yamaha's Ensemble feature, which is great. But then korg has fully edditable sounds and soundcreation from scratch on board, which allows you to create your own DNC voices.. and not just realistic ones, but also synth ones.. altough i must admit, when i do create my own sounds (which requires a huge time investment, and thats something that is a problem right now) i prefer doing so on the kronos.. The ensemble feature is however one of the things i do still miss after switching from T5 to pa4x, it is an awesome thing... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Hi Bachus, what’s the ensemble feature? I must be thinking of a different function. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

rikkisbears Senior Member Registered: 12/22/02 Posts: 6020 Loc: NSW,Australia	Thanks Eric, that is a great feature, much more than the harmony I thought Bachus was referring to. I’d miss it too. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

I think its one of the most innovative features in any hardware keyboard in this century, if not “The” most innovative _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Thanx for the demos very interesting. I am not saying its a feature I would ever use when I'm playing but for some I could see alot of uses for certain types of music for sure....... Does Genos have this ENSEMBLE also? If so has it been made even better or?...if not what did they substitute it with?... thanx
