Average player makes the instrument sound average. Put Baartman behind that Genos and it makes me want to buy one. My opinion

Good demo, styles and songs done the way most arranger players use the keyboard.
Nice.

I'd rather hear the average player use one make it more natural sense of what it really sounds like...not dreaming of what you'll ever sound like..
your playing skills are just that... YOUR PLAYING SKILLS
only YOU can change that if you want to.

Decent enough player, wasn't crazy about his singing. But a good demo and a nice sound overall.

I disagree. When a real pro showcases an instrument, it brings out the hidden beauty not heard from an average player. I try to raise MY bar and get ideas from the professionals (including some great arrangement ideas). Dreaming is a good thing, IMO.

Listening to Baartmans and others of that caliber makes me practice more and more every day and I do try to change my act by having top talent ideas, not average ones.

Great demo thanks for sharing Donny. I also like the fact it was like most Arranger players preform. Backing their vocals with various styles and sounds. I really love the original sounds he uses to great effect. Wish I was that creative.
That brings me to a dilemma. I've spent way too much time programming Registrations on my BK9 and I tend to stick with a small collection of usable sounds, especially for the RH fills and backing. Mostly Piano. WHY ? because I'm trying to connect with the general audience and I feel if you start getting too "electronic" or esoteric with your sounds you lose them as they don't feel its real. Bartmanns crowd was there to see an Arranger so they knew what to expect. Biggest keyboard draw here now is Dueling Pianos which is really not. Its just one Piano at a time playing and the other person singing and doing Tambourine. But it is just piano, no other sounds. Another reason why the Acoustic Guitar / Singer thing is so big. Peope relate to a familiar guitar and can see the preformer playing ( even if it is only 4 chords LOL ! )
Another reason I don't thin I'll jump to a new Arranger, I'm tired of programming. Rather spend my time on the music. IMHO BTW the Genos sounds great !

I think this is who Replaces Michel Voncken for Yamaha Europa

I think he is more than pro enough to demo Genos or other arrangers for his audience, both home players as well as 'ordinary' arranger players.
Most likely he do this demo for a musicshop, and if Yamaha should aim at only the 'pro players', there would not be many Genos sold.
How many 'pro's do you think is in that crowd you see in the video, and how many genuine professional musicians use an autocomparranger?? They most often play a solo instrument.
Baarthman is excellent player and do great demoes, no doubt, but if a demo is too complex stuff you aim for special users.
Just my $0,00000002

I’ve seen this guy perform before. His performance is decent, but the audio quality of the Genos is excellent.
