I say for this demo the KORG has a slight edge sound wise..
but as always EQ has alot to do with these demos,...with pretty much only Two NEWER TOTL arrangers left on the market,.....
and both being so close, I'd say you cant go wrong with either one..

all is well in arranger land..

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.

Interesting...the Korg sounds are cleaner to me, the Yamaha fuller, warmer. The opposite has always seemed true to me in the recent past..could be the global eq settings as Donny mentioned.

Very close to each other , Yamaha sax and reeds are more the "real" thing .
I am happy with the Genos , but the Korg is also a great machine

Normally they do both a sound as well as a styles comparisson, which makes you wonder why they didn’t do a styles comparrison in this case?

Got both/play both instruments.

In general, to me Genos voices are richer, more varied and more realistic sounding. This is not true of my S970 or the Tyros I had before.

Both PA4X and Genos have styles that really pop. Both work very well.

I’m no expert but again to me Genos has the best sounding piano I’ve ever gotten out of my arrangers.

My perception also but you can't go wrong with either. IF I were in the market I would choose the one with the best keybed and I think thats the KORG.

I think you're right, Donny. However, for those fortunate few who could afford both, that would be the best!

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.
