Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	This is great news for all Genos owners..... expanded memory, chord looper, more new styles etc,etc,.. so I guess paying $5k is little by little more worth it.... but this might mean NO Genos 2 coming at Winter NAMM.... how long will they keep updating OS VS a totally new deigned unit and is this becoming the Normal thing even for KORG Pa4x?..we'll see...

Well, I guess most of the G buyers did not pay that much, not even I did. But full price is / was at that level. Anyway, 4k$ + is not cheap either. It's a huge update, so we'll see at 15th Nov when it's ready to download. How much capacity there is left to further major steps remain to see. So far it seems to be at no cost for the users, probably 'buildt into the price' for the unit..... _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	so what does this mean for arranger keyboards down the road... OS updates only & many years in-between new models?

But, it's probably poor business for both the companies and distributors? And not to forget, it may be a nightmare for Donny that have to wait much longer for new arrangers to try out. _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

Hi, I personally wouldn’t mind if they charged for UPGRADES ie added new functions styles , sounds etc BUT not updates , where they just haven’t got something right in the first place and have to fix it. Problem is, how long do keyboards last without developing hardware problems. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Donny, I've been to Havana and Gitmo City - those cars were junkers and the only thing holding them together was the paint, many of which were painted over with house paint. There was a black market created just after Castro took over and 3rd party parts were smuggled into Cuba from the US. Most of the cars burned as much oil as they did gas. And, I don't recall seeing any Model Ts or Model As there - mostly 1950s Cheveys and Fords, a few Cadillacs and Lincolns and lots of very old, converted, school busses. Nothing had AC.

Robbo Member Registered: 07/31/08 Posts: 570 Loc: Ballarat, Victoria, Australia	Originally Posted By Dnj so what does this mean for arranger keyboards down the road... OS updates only & many years in-between new models? This makes perfect sense to me. Yammy usurped the new Roland Synth with the update to Montage & Modyx and I reckon this will put a dent in any new arranger from Korg as well. Really 6K Aust dollars should mean updates like this and I thank Yamaha from the bottom of my heart. I love my Genos and it’s going to be unbelievably better after the 15th November!

All the best, Gary Gary your missing my point Cuba continually RETORING 40's & 50's cars, Model T's, etc, it doesn't matter the point I am trying to make is regarding keyboards is UPDATING vs NEWLY DESIGNED!

Actually would make one more likely to spend that sort of money if they knew it had a longer shelf life than the 3 year cycle . You buy it , 3 years later , new model. You lose so much money on them when you sell them. P.s small world. My S950 found a new home out your way. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

Hi mate, maybe that’s what Yammy are doing, makes sense to me and with the updates I’m thinking whilst at first I thought Genos was way overpriced I’m now thinking good value. Can’t see any reason why Yamaha would even consider another flagship when this one is going to be pretty much the perfect solution.
