Well.. to me, that's typical video made by Yamaha worshiper: "..it's not just a box, you're buying a loyalty ..it's just great instrument.. press on button and you get this style.. always works out of the box.." -he's just telling us he likes his "baby". In short, video is not not informative at all in sense to help someone making the decision (considering that title is "Genos -Should you buy one?").

Just my opinion,

Maybe it tells you to wait a while for the "next Genos" instead of buying something temporary and losing a lot of money... IMHO  ::)

You should probably watch it again, and also listen.  :)
Seems like you did not understand a lot of the video, just my opinion.  ;)

No I'm not surprised.

Why should a company entertain a relatively small YouTuber with lending out a demo unit?

This totally does not sway my opinion on Ketron in either direction.
Without Music, Life would be a Mistake.

Hey Andrew :

I fully agree with your reaction.

I am very surprised the opinion of this Youtuber is only based on personal impressions/feelings and not based on facts and reality, IMHO.

Cheers, JH

I have never seen this video before, but I must admit it's one of the best Genos video demonstrations on the internet in my opinion. An excellent sound recording that makes the Genos really shine. Further evidence that Yamaha isn't in any hurry to release what could have been a half-baked Genos2 product, like Korg did with the Pa5X. Plus, even though the Pa5X and the Ketron Event are great keyboards, they still aren't, in most ways, on the same level as the Genos which has been on the market 5+ years.

All the best, Mike

Hi :


Compared to the recent newest competion's high end arrangers, it has been repeated several times ( here ) the 5/6 years old present Genos' sound quality is still the best ever made.  :)

What are most Yamaha customers expecting from the new Genos successor : New styles, new features and/or ... something else ?


Best regards, JH
