Both the np32 and 31 have low quallity keybeds..
So in a dual keybed Genos you want a great keyboard as lower
As thats generally where you play the piano sounds..

There is no really good 76 midi keyboards for sale..
Which makes it best to use a high quallity used keyboard,
Think G70, motif ES or others, just as a midi controller

And the combine it with a small tablet running V-console
Which gives you the number of sounds required for 2x76 keys

Bruno123, The cost of doing this is very reasonable, as compared to an organ of even close to the sound quality......A Genos + about $1k, if you do the pedals too.

Thanks Russ, I thought their price or the SW was pretty reasonable, maybe I should look into it some more, are the registrations really good is a big question as there are not many demos.

Bachus, yes that's a concern, but any way I go the upper will need to actually set on top of the lower, so can't have sw, knobs etc on top of the lower, like many kbds do...that's the challenge. What I really would like is a plain MIDI kbd with electronics that they would use to actually build a organ from, but have not found it yet.

Did Richard Bower (UK) make the registrations?

Hi Lee,

To give you an example they are selling - Super Elite Upgrade for Tyros-5 for £299.

It claims to have over 600 registrations. l spoke to the guys that run this company at a music event and they claimed they had completed all the work on the software themselves. l later found out this was not true. To be fair to the people involved l won't reveal any names, but l do in fact know the 2 guys who were in fact responsible for making the software.

As l said before the bulk of this Super Elite is in fact the Regi stick 4 which has 480 registrations. A well known guy in the UK who used to be a Yamaha demonstrator was responsible for Regi stick 4. Most of the rest of what that software contains came from an entirely different company. l have spoken to both of the guys involved who have confirmed it was their work. As l have also told you before you can buy the Regi stick 4 for around £36. The other software has to be loaded using YEM, but the bulk of it can be bought for around £50. So hopefully you can see there is a big difference in what they are charging.

If you look at the full TRX system for the Genos it is £7299. l've just had a quick look, and without bartering, in the UK you can buy the Genos with speakers for around £3400, NP32 is approx. £235, Bass pedals £330. That comes to £3965. The only thing l haven't looked at is the volume and sustain pedals. So basically for the pedals, stand and stool that adds over £3300 on top of what you can buy the keyboards and pedals for. When l put my system together it was originally with a Tyros 5, which l traded for the Genos and l can tell you it cost nowhere near what this company are charging.

Hopefully that has given you a bit more insight.

Kind regards,

Russ

Russ, Interesting.....So I am hoping the registick 4 is for a 2 manual setup? And where do I get it? I'm thinking Yamaha Club in UK?

As to the other SW you mentioned in excess of the Registick 4, where can I order it from?

I can make my own stand setup, I will also get all my own HW,,,the 2 things they have I may get from them
1) The exp pedal with 2 built in switches (but I may be able to make my own) and the MIDI box that allows the NP31 to connect (USB host)and the bass pedals to do MIDI thru.

I really appreciate your helping me out here...
If you like you can tel me all this on PM?
Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee

A Twinset can be put together at very low cost with any used keyboard.
Important it has Midi.
My Twinset is TOP T5-76-LOWER Np30.
The NP30 Drives T5 ACC's & Styles over it's full length.
T5 now has full keys to split into different voice zone.

With my LOWER controlling all sounds on the UPPER it's volume is muted.
The 2 boards need to be as close as possible together so LOWER controls are not needed.
