The NAMM show in Anaheim opens in a little over two hours and Yamaha is said to have more than 90 new products to announce. The Yamaha booth will occupy an exhibition hall the size of football field. Let's hope a Genos firmware update is also announced. Coincidently the area had a magnitude 4.2 earthquake early this morning. It was centered about eight miles northeast of Trabuco Canyon, California, which is located 31 miles southeast of Anaheim. I hope none of the new gear fell over!😲😁

Hi Stuart --

Yamaha finally fixed their countdown clock:

https://www.yamaha.com/namm/

It was one hour off last night.  ::)

I've been blogging about random keyboard-related NAMM stuff at http://sandsoftwaresound.net/

Lot's of pre-show announcements this year.

All the best -- pj

Nice set up updates, Paul. Crossing fingers and toes for a significant Genos update! I've got two Geni to update now. 😲

Perhaps an announcement will be made on the floor during one of the demos.

I am dismayed that they would not even update the Genos "special page" which is linked to from the main NAMM Yamaha page. Bunch of "will be available November 2017" posts, etc. I would think you would do some marketing work/updates in preparation for such an important show. Disappointing for sure and glad I did not make the trip to NAMM this year.

Hi --

Yamaha seem to be featuring the entire digital and arranger workstation line at NAMM. The only "featured product" on the synth side is the MX88.

I haven't seen any new updates for either Genos or Montage. Haven't had time to check the Apple App store.

The Steinberg site seems sleepy, too. I'm wishing for some kind of NAMM pricing on Cubase Artist or Pro, now that Sonar's future is kaput.

Al the best -- pj

Spoke too soon about Montage. There is a Montage 2.0 update: http://sandsoftwaresound.net/namm-2018-montage-2-0/

And of course this just came out today as well:

YAMAHA MUSIC PRODUCTION GUIDE
The official News Guide about the Yamaha Music Production product series and Computer Music Instruments

http://www.easysounds.eu/MusicProductionGuide_2018_01_EN.pdf

For those of you who haven't seen these, they are published by Easysounds (who make expansion packs for PSR, TYROS and Genos) and sanctioned by Yamaha and although they claim to cover articles about Yamaha keyboard instruments, they completely ignore their arranger series. And they're published out of Europe, the seat of the majority of Yamaha arranger user base.

Really, Yamaha?

Right on!  My understanding was that in January they would release more goodies for the Genos!

Yes, I talked to Peter about this. He suggested contacting Yamaha directly and I've asked if he could provide a specific contact point.
