Is this new Genos2 ?

[JohnS (Ugawoga)]

"The Pain"   "Oh the pain"  Waiting for this Genos

I want compensation for all the stress that Yamaha cause me !!   

[soryt]

I hope Yamaha wil come with some news about the future of arranger keyboards, if they announce that the Genos is the last high end arranger of them I wil take the step to an other brand keyboard.
This is ferry frustrating for the serious customers how always go for the new top board  , it takes much to long time. I am very disappointed with the strategy of Yamaha arranger department.
I will wait to the end of this year , otherwise it's Yamaha history in my set up .

[JohnS (Ugawoga)]

I am off to bed now. 1 am here in Uk . Have been practicing and time just flies by
Well Soryt Yamaha is the best you can get in arrangers and if the next is better i may keep that for a long time as i am now 72.
I do not think i will be around when Quantum keyboards arrive.
I think if Yamaha get the strings and guitars studio quality , then there is not much furher sound can go or is there !!
I really think this week we may know a lot more as it is around the same time as Genos 1 in 2017

Here they talk about a new Genos EX and not a Genos 2

I don't know if the Genos 1 v2.0 was already sold as « Genos EX » ....

For French Readers. In an "arranger" specific page, and just above the Genos1 V2 ....

Sud-Claviers is well-known in France. (And we can trust them 100%)
You will see in this page they announce November 16th as the official date for a new keyboard.

Hi could you tell me how much the price will be?

Thanks

You can PM me if you dont want it public.

Interesting, but I somehow have my doubts. I've heard so many 'definitely happening' things from so many dealers in the past 50 years that I've been in the business.

Nothing to do with Genos 2, Genos EX or whatever, but 1) Technics closed down their entire music division (they had good reasons) and I've heard nothing from my inside connections to say that they are planning a comeback, and 2) Roland decided to leave the arranger keyboard market - apart from making a pseudo-reappearance with the BK series instruments. I've heard nothing about that comeback either!

I do hope I am proved wrong as it would make for some interesting competition!

[maartenb]

I think Sud-Claviers is deliberately muddying the water, since they can't flat out state that the spot on their website is reserved for the Genos II.

But the Kronos 3, Roland G-80 and Technics are clearly meant tongue-in-cheek, so the meaning is: "Genos II, but we're not yet allowed to say it".

[maartenb]

Could you tell me how much the price will be?

I also pre-ordered the Genos II and I have no idea yet what the price will be. I just ordered the instrument.

At the store where I pre-ordered it, I've also bought my G-70, Tyros 4 and 5, and Genos. I know they have fair pricing.

It's a leap of faith.


Maarten

[JohnS (Ugawoga)]

I hope there is a safety net Maarten, just in case!!!

Please send me the link of the store. Thank you!

Good evening friends,

I live in France and the information that is disseminated is accepted with envy because there is a climate of trust here.

I notice that on this Anglo-Saxon forum that I really like, skepticism always reigns and as long as an event has not occurred, no one dares to want to believe in it.

Once the event happens, everyone will say, "I knew it."

It's fun to see the different ways of thinking internationally.

Some wanted to believe for a long time that the Earth was flat before admitting that it was round.

Now, I will no longer intervene by simply observing your reactions, especially on November 16.

The "EX" may indicate a "General Export" model. There is a list of these region/model codes in the service manual.

As a matter of interest,have a few replies been taken out??

[EileenL]

We have all been guessing for a long time that Genos Two will be launched at the Yamaha meeting in Derby in November so not long to wait now.

In France, we can expect November 16th ("mysterious" sentence in the Sud-Claviers Website), and not November 24th. Very difficult to be patient 8 days more :-)

Seems unlikely to me that a huge global company would choose to launch a major new product at a relatively small and very local event. Maybe the timing is coincidental and the worldwide launch will be just ahead of this, so they know it can be demonstrated/discussed at this event. But I cannot believe this event itself would be the driver for a Yamaha worldwide launch.
Mike

[maartenb]

I think so, too.

I expect a global online reveal with a press release and several videos on YouTube, not only from Yamaha themselves but also large retail chains/stores (as soon as the embargo is lifted).

Probably in the same way for both Montage M and Genos part deux. Montage M in October, Genos in November.

And possibly/hopefully with teasers before.



Maarten

[usaraiya]

Come to think of it, reverse psychology is working in favor of Yamaha Marketing:
Although there is NO release of official information from Yamaha, excitement is building exponentially for the new Genos, complete with release dates, etc!

Yep.

Today, Yamaha officially quashed the rumor that Montage M will be revealed at Synthfest UK 2023 this weekend:

They do what they do when they do it.
