The last few weeks I am surprised that many people are positive about the Yamaha Genos. When I look at the messages about the Genos from 2 years ago here on Synthzone, I see that people were generally very negative in general. I am happy and surprised that now there is a sort of "revival" and appreciation for this instrument.

Impuls cool

Impuls it takes time to reduce the competition and make sure it fill your needs. The new v2.0 was a big plus also. I was certainly skeptical at first but glad I waited made sure the sx900 wasn't a
"baby Genos",..and tried all that was out there to be sure.
I am having a blast setting it up...
just finished my 3rd Reg song bank with 30 songs many using the replacement NEW Genos version of the same styles/sounds etc,.. too. Many more banks to go & beyond.

I didn't say I love it. Jury is still out. I do like the controls, feel, styles and sounds. But the only thing I didn't have on PA4X was the lighter key feel.
This thing is LOOOONG.
I am in the process of creating all new Registrations, using my old ones as a model. Almost every style can be changed or updated to sound better than on previous Yamahas, except maybe the SX900. It's styles were also updated a lot.
The Audio styles are still my favorites. Wish there were more.
So far I've only heard it through headphones and the Logitech system in my office/studio.
Maybe today I'll set up the real P.A. system. I hope to use the Genos on the job by next weekend. That will be the real test.

I find it more easy to make for each song a seperate Registration , much easyer to search and overlook , and its the way for using and store it in the Playlist .
Have now made approx 800 registrations in the past 2 years on the genos

I smirk

Hi Don,
I think I understood you correctly , ( except in my case vice versa) I found when I was putting my style library together, most of the previous styles going back to T3, sounded really good on sx, except for the Genos, thought it might have been due to missing voices or effects , whatever.
interesting that sx styles don’t sound that great on Genos.
Fortunately they have a large number of styles in common.
