+1

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

Sounds great to me with the right settings and expression pedal.

Fran, appreciate you, but the title of the post says it all. I knew exactly where the replies were going to go.

The first MAJOR NEGATIVE on Genos. The tittle set the mood of defense.

Sorry, just my opinion,
I still like and respect what you’re about, John C.

Jerry oh yes Buddy ....@ 9:00...sounds great !

I gotta add another one pennies worth To this thread. I’ve written this elsewhere, if someone put a gun to my head and said mister, ya can’t have both it’s either Genos or Pa4x. I’d say OK the Pa4x goes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my estimation the organs aren’t a negative they may not just sound as good as the Pa4x.

Hey guys the negative was not initiated by me, I passed (video) a player that owns all, and the negative was "Hammond" sound... Not Genos sounds.

You have heard other Knowing people here.. Bill confirming Yamaha was never a good "Hammond" sound. (Don't forget they are competitors).

Stephen said his PA4X was hard to beat for "Hammond" sound.. His Genos is "fair".

Now that you are forcing the coming Hammond players comments... hold on to your drawbars.

The guy that did the video... knows his stuff, and also likes "his" Genos.. He offered his experience on his own gear about a single topic..

Get over it.. If it is good enough for you.. Be happy

John be aware I posted another's opinion … By someone in position to comment.. I have never seen , let alone play a Genos

Eric, I also do not care for Roland guitars except the SN jazz guitar.

But I don't play guitar

DonM says he likes the lowly E-A7 guitars..

Hey you guys wanted Yamaha's best arranger ever.. you got it and like we always say.. No keyboard is perfect


Just to refresh your minds..

I like some of the EA7 guitars. Selection of good presets is limited. You can edit them and "make your own". I like the Korg guitars a lot. Yamaha guitars are probably best because of all the presets they make for you.
Ketron guitars are very good too.
Organs...in my opinion the BK9 was much the best. EA7 also very good. Korgs are good. I don't use them all that much so not a huge deal to me. I don't like that the Yamaha preset organ sounds, other than the drawbars, don't do the leslie on/off correctly.

I wonder what a WERSI Pegasus sounds like? Hmmm

One sound doesn't make an arranger kb..
