Absolutely superb performances by Martin Harris on Genos 2 and SX-920

Super.  It would be great if he could share, via Yamaha, his registrations/Playlist or if one of our members who listens to this could like the styles he used (the style name is not always visible) and the song name for that style.

He's a far better keyboard player than I will ever be, but will someone please tell him not to play the beautiful Duduk like a synth!  It is an instrument that really needs expression of its dynamics and gaps in which the player can breathe.  Otherwise he robs it of its full beauty.  If you have a Genos2, please try playing the Duduk with a wide variation in key velocities for your notes and with lyrical lines that have gaps at the end (silences between the notes are what makes sounds into music).  No style, maybe just an ambient piano assigned to Left to give some gentle harmonic background.  The Genos2 CAN reproduce the Duduk beautifully if you play it  like a Duduk instead of a synth

Great player, great musician, who knows these instruments inside out. These TOTL arrangers are the most versatile musical instruments ever made, by a country mile. You can do almost anything with them when you have his expertise.
Yet we still see people complaining about what they don't do!

@Chalky don't be cruel 😂 All of us cannot be perfect, there is improvements on our technics/skills which can be done, but I don't think this is his scope. Peter (RIP), as well, was one of the most awesome Yamaha demonstrators and he also has some issues when playing the technics of some instruments. In most of cases, you cannot play on a keyboard what a real instrument can, so, as a conclusion, it is very good as it is.

I simply love Martin's demo, @usaraiya you make my day, my friend! 🤗 And, all Martin's demos are awesome! It remember us what the keyboards can do and maybe (maybe sure) we don't even try 😂

Best regards,
