Does having a Genos 2 really matter

[Oldden]

I'm more than happy if they kept the keyboard and upgraded to operating system to 2.5 or 3.0

....I can tell them that many pre-orders have already been made in Europe and that suppliers are only waiting for Yamaha's official announcement of marketing to proceed with deliveries.....What I'm telling you is already discussed in some forums.

What forums would those be? And give us a general idea where your source is from. Word of mouth? Someone you know at Yamaha? Someone in the supply chain?

I believe Christian, why would he have sold his Genos and he has not recorded any new songs lately, that's why I said he will probably be the one to divulge here first. I'm looking forward to the new flagship arriving because I will get one I just have not made up my mind to where I will buy, I might even part ex my T5 for a Korg PAx5 depending what deal I can reach

And Christian will not divulge his source because that would put him in a position not to be trusted, and you never know Christian may possibly work for yamaha

Hope Christian is right that is all i can say.


According to quantum law under the Copenhagen interpretation, the cat will be both dead and alive until someone looks in the box. In quantum mechanics lingo, the cat's ability to be both alive and dead until it is observed is referred to as quantum indeterminacy or the observer's paradox.
So we will have to wait until we can open the box to see if the Genos 2 is  alive or dead

"I'm more than happy if they kept the keyboard and upgraded to operating system to 2.5 or 3.0"..................I could be very happy if they just did that.  It would fit in better for my schedule. -charley

Yeah, I hope he's right, but we just don't know yet. I'd still like to see a link to the forums he mentioned.

That's because you are assuming the upgrade would provide some or all the improvements you want. But that never or seldom happens with Yamaha. If they issue an operating system change to 2.5 or whatever it would be more likely just to fix a bug in some function you seldom use.
The 'Yamaha way' is to have any real improvements built into in the new hardware - that you have to buy to get them! I'm not saying that is bad or wrong, just that is how it is.

Good morning,

I actually sold my Genos before last summer but also before it lost too much of its value knowing that the price of new models has already fallen.
Imagine what second-hand prices will soon be like.
So, of course, like everyone else, I'm waiting impatiently because 5 months without being able to play is very, very hard and I can't imagine waiting another 6 months.
If I had not considered the information received to be reliable, I would still be in possession of my device.

I can't tell you more.

Just for the discussion.

From Electone ELS-01 to ELS-02 there was an hardware module update (ELSU-V02).
For the planet it could also be better to adopt such modular design in the future.
For example, the keyboard, the screen, can be kept over several generations. I understand it could mean a very different approach with a lot of new issues to resolve.

Without her/his beloved instrument every musician feels bad and sad.

For a few dollars more or less I doubt if that (financial) works, but everyone makes his own decision. The first owners generally pays a major price for future pricedrops. They who wait some months generally pays less, so at the end .... ??
