I HAVE GENOS PAX4 AND NORD ELECTRIC 4 , AND THINK THAT THE ONLY NEGATIVE IN GENOS IS THE HAMMOND , NOT SO IN THE SOUND ALTHOUGH THE SOUND IS NOT TOP NOTCH , BUT IN THE LESLIE. THE HAMMOND IN PAX4 IS BETTER BUT ALSO NOT GOOD ENOUGH , EVEN NORD IS ONLY OKAY , THE BEST ARE HAMMOND AND CRUMER. I'd say if you want a Hammond sound just BUY a real Hammond & be done with it,..not an arranger kb.. and if not I don't think anyone will come up to you with your KORG, Genos, Roland, Ketron,Nord, or whatever and say "Hey that is not a Hammond"!!!..this could be said for every instrument sound on any electronic keyboard, ... if it ain't the real thing although close it just will not sound exactly like it.

Every arranger had stronger and weaker points. We all know that. We all have different needs. As a guitar player I find Roland guitars the weakest and unacceptable for me. The organs in the Genos are more than sufficient for me. However I bought this amazing expansion pack on sale for $30 on the Yamaha website. Organ Session Big difference. And I am happy. Here is another one: Organ Live Eric Personally, not into organs, but what I do love about Yamaha keyboards is the extras you can purchase, if one wishes to do so.

I don't know why the piano and organ are singled out. There are 1,710 instrument voices on the Genos that don't sound exactly like the real instrument. I rarely use the organ sound at gigs. Maybe a samba and a rare request for the 3 Sons. Jerry

I too think a good Leslie sound is important, even playing to people that may not be familiar with the original Hammond sound. I use organ a lot, and through the years, the comments on the sound seem proportional to the quality of the Leslie, even when the sounds are not great. There is a reason why so many took to that inimitable swirling motion in the first place, but you have to have the interaction of the drum and horns to pull it off. That is where the wannabes fail.
