Nobody (including NH captive audiences) comes to see arranger players for their pianistic/keyboard skills. In 90% of the situations where arrangers are used, VOCALS are the main feature. If your singing is lousy enough then MAYBE they'll listen to the keyboard but it's unlikely they'll be returning for any of your future performances. REALLY good vocals make the choice of arranger keyboards pretty much moot.

Yep! Damned, that's the third or fourth time I've agreed with Chas this year. I must be loosin' it!

All the best,

Maybe Joost will sing some songs in his next live genos session.... Who knows?

You haven't lost your touch, or your enthusiasm, Joost...excellent instrumental work and creative playing...as per usual!

Very few here put up instrumentals actually using the Genos'(or any other arranger, for that matter) arranger accompaniment feature itself, so it is a nice treat indeed.

Nope, that means you're GAINING it .

Really enjoyed the video Joost, great job.

Joost does a great job of showing some of what the Genos can do. I share his videos with musical friends who are starting to show an interest in arrangers.

👍👍👍

So far during all the years I've been into arrangers, I've never heard any player sound like every other player.
Only when they play commercial midifiles and playback MP3 files, which I never does myself.
I have heard lots of the same factory styles used, but the keyboardplayer still don't sound the same as all others..
Anyway, I agree that it is important to do some steps to make it sound 'yourself' when perform gigs and so on.

I think Jost is showing the Genos 'as it is', and he does it really great.
He is also a very very good and excellent musician.

They all sound alike when you use the long intros! Then when the intro finishes, the level of the performance usually drops several notches.

DITTO!!! and your being nice Don
