Please buy it for me.. I'm good in playing..i will be playing and recording for you.. I base in FCT Abuja in Nigeria.. I'm a sound and studio engineer.. But just wish you buy and ship to my location and keep receiving your tracks and records as you wish.. I'm serious! Ask me for further details I will provide to you.. I love this keyboard but I can't afford it at this time.. Thanks.
Congrats Ryan! Take some lessons and enjoy your beautiful keyboard to the fullest. As a former teacher and keys sales rep for a leading retailer... here is another reccomendation: Find out who your local 'Genos Guru' is ... and hire them to walk you through everything your keyboard has to offer. It might take a few sessions but it's sooo much more productive than piddling through. Congrats again and cheers!
Yamaha PSR SX900 does almost all that fro a third of the price. If someone needs all those features, to me that means that have not practiced enough scales and arpeggios and use sound color to cover up their lack of technique.

Actually it depends on what you want. The PSR series spans everything from rank beginners keyboards to really sophisticated, and marvelous semi professional PSR S instruments. Yes, some of them get to be a bit expensive. The Genos is the flag ship keyboard of Yamaha's arranger keyboards and really is not an inexpensive tool by any means. Actually, in October, Yamaha will be releasing the next generation of the PSR S line, and I can tell you this, I'm planning on buying the PSR SX900. I'd call it a Genos junior-it's that amazing.
This is a 5500 bucks device !!!! Just buy a MIDI controller (maybe an Alesis with 88 keys for 300 bucks), link it to the PC, download Kontact and the infinite sound library, also download Ivory for real pianos, and any workstation software. Don't waste your money in a limited dinosaur keyboard and sequencer.
how would your setup work for a "one man band" on live stage with improvised sessions? arrangers are quite good with all that styles stuff (intros, endings, fill in etc ) for that purpose.... interested to know how that would work on your setup
I agree for music production a midi controller and a sampler or VST instruments such as Kontakt, Sampletank or Halon 7 is perfect for music production. This is an arranger keyboard and it's not intended for that sort of use.
The Roland G70 it is better than the Genos even though it's older.The test showed that the sounds are absolutely identical it's like Yamaha cloned a Roland G70.I sold the Genos and bought back a Roland G70.Genos is not worth half the price that Roland has, it is cheaper and Genos eats for breakfast.
I really want to like the Genos but that C7 piano sounds way to thin and smothered in effects .I can not here any natural acoustic sound of a real piano.Way to digital.
Err, okay. It always puzzles and irritates me why a demonstration of a new keyboard treats many features that have been there in past models like "oh my god this is great"! Like here e.g. the ability to control the sound in realtime with the knobs or sliders... COME ON! Why can you not say something like "of course as before you can do this...". And really leave the OMG factor to actually new features. This is one of many marketing blurbs that I personally would like to see buried and gone.
I just saw the price. Totally not worth 5K. INSANITY! ....You can buy $2K laptop, $1K MMX88, a DAW, and still have over 1K left over for a decent pair of monitors and wires.
Truly, I suggested Roland Corporation innovate/initiate a 76-Key Arranger Workstation before they produce FA-06/07/08. Any way Yamaha outpassed them. Good Instrument, I like this Genos even I am an ardent ROLAND fan. ( I have Roland GW-8 and FA 06 right now).
We already know YAmaha has great sounds. How do you actually write, compose or make a beat on this $5000 + machine? I would like to see how you sequence and edit, mix and master your music on this bad boy.
you cant buy talent, which is basically what you are asking lol, listen i along with 35 others have been involved with these machines for years as programmers (myself personally since 2007 on tyros 2) i have been made redundant now after tyros 6 as public name, code name genius hence when so different they decided should start a new chapter after tyros hence genos) so beond any comment here you are getting it from the horses mouth guys, korg are trying to bring out a new PAX machine to compete but they are nowhere close yet (even been offered a job many times by them lol), but at the end of the day this is the most versatile machine ever and only limitation is your tallent , so i personally find this question stupid, :) youl learn how to use the sequencng as you use it, more of a questio is are you atalented player.composer,mixer? or are you hoping a machine can make you seem like you have tallent? :) anyone on here who questions the machine i guarntee has never worked in keyboard/synth development, id bet my house on it, go try it yourself first before you comment or you sound an untallented stup or poor idiot, end of!!!
gimble - I’m glad you have talent & is an intelligent programmer. Not Everyone is fortunate enough like you unfortunately. I would caution you though to use your big brain and refrain from calling someone with a question about a product stupid, because it just makes you look like the one with the word stupid/88 written all over your forehead. I would bet my life Yamaha would not hire people like you who can actually call a customer stupid for asking a question about a product & if they did I’ll bet your ass would no longer work there. We’re not about to start arguing with you since you’re so smart, so be gone!!!
DJ ICE I agree. This should be a fairly simple question to understand. Before purchasing my Roland G, I needed to see two things, physical steps of sound build up and using sequencer for song production.
It's interesting that they use Korg's joystick on this keyboard, leaving behind their two wheels PB and modulator. But I would add one more modulation free run wheel to this joystick, and that would be top notch set up.
Love this keyboard But there’s sooo much to learn how to use etc , took me years to play and will probably take a few more to understand the full potential of this keyboard 😳the electric guitar sound was dreadful for the price though, just one more thing although you play well why keep playing old fashioned scores, surely we need to move with the times not every player wants to play at Blackpool tower Or the theatre;(((( get modern, new technology old music what’s the point in evolution flugelhorn ffs
The Tyros keyboards always had the best sound quality by far of any keyboard I've ever heard. Kronos, Jupiter 80, montage, rd2000, none of those even come close. But for 6000 bucks, you can only get these with a synth action keybed?
GCM PRODUCTIONS who cares about how it looks at the back lol. If it sounds as magic as here I’ll accept that curved ugly back. But I do get your point. They should have thought about it a bit more on that design.
chendo kilos The 76 key model is around £4000 in the UK with no speakers. The Yamaha Prs 970 is around £1550 so less than double the price of the Genos.
Finally got my hands on one to play and considering the price tag and my demo time with both the Korg Pa4X and Roland FA series, I was underwhelmed. The sounds are good, but honestly they're good on all of them. Yamaha added quite a big jump in the number of Mega Voices, Super Articulation voices, and Super Articulation 2 voices -- a bigger increase than we've seen with previous Tyros-to-Tyros upgrades, yet does it sound significantly better than the others, the answer is subjective to each person, but polling 17 different keyboard players during a blind test, none of them were able to correctly identify the Yamaha sounds as better when played over 4 different songs . The first things to jump out at me were the lack of intuitiveness and layout. It seemed counter-intuitive to find and do things in a live setting. The features seemed more geared to a studio than a live setting. Secondly, they market this as a workstation, yet it s has no daw integration at all, no real onboard sound editing features, only a few basic parameters, no audio over USB - The Tyros 5, Yamaha's top-of-the-line arranger keyboard did not have a built-in USB audio interface. The Genos doesn't either, baffling to me, and there is no pattern sequencer, also if you are looking at the sequencer on this, you'll find some disappointment in its limitations. To be honest, if I was gonna get something, price would come into play (as it always does). I would probably go with a PA4X. Why? It seems better built, is more compact (you could comfortably use it as a top tier in a two-board setup for function work), is sonically at least the equal of the Genos and it is just far more tweakable which is abundantly obvious if you compare them head on, and the price is $1500 less. If I truly wanted and had to have a workstation, the Roland FA series for the price is great value or simply get the Kronos if you want to spend more which is an amazing machine. I really hoped Yamaha had a good thing here with the huge let down of the Tyros 5 and the one sided aspect of the Montage. It turns out to me the Genos is just another arranger all too similar to the Tyros 5 for tastes.
I agree Korg Kronos 2 is better for music production because it's a workstation and workstations are intended for that pourpose. But as Genos is an arranger it's only really intented for playing live or recording demo tracks.
Amazing machine! How many of my children for trade? I've a few. I'd just donate them to medical science anyway. 3,4,-5? Most of them are house trained. I guess by the age of 15 or so, they probably should be. I stopped breastfeeding a few months ago and most of them adjusted fairly well. Mostly.... I need this keyboard!
Yamaha should add the Yamaha A5000 Oriental pack to the Genos the A5000 has everything and still way cheaper than Genos I don't know why we should buy Genos with this expensive price and still we have to add a lot of samples to it doesn't make any sense 😡
227/5000 Thank you, dear Martin. Good presentation. I have not yet known some menus. Have read the manual even very little, although I have the Workstaion equal to 2 years. Greetings from Görlywood in Germany :)
This keyboard would be good for Euro electronic music. Of course I am sure it can do other things, but most of the demos show these types of sounds/accompaniments. The piano and nine faders are nice.
biggest mistake , released too soon. the odd shape keyboard rocks back and forth, the sounds are a little better but the tyros5 is much easier to use...I returned this piece of shit!
I sold it in a heartbeat with a decent price, got Cubase 10, tons of sample libraries, komplete kontrol MK2 midi controller, and there was still a surplus. Will never ever make this mistake again and buy expensive arranger keyboard like this. Yamaha, you're just fucking expensive company. Even your PSR series is expensive.
I personally have Halion 6, the full version of Kontakt plus Abbey Road Drummer Collection. Some of Halion6's sounds like the saxophones are the same as the saxophones on Tyros 2, even Genos uses those same sax samples which is good because I personally like Yamaha's samples even if they are a bit fake sounding ( some of the Kontakt Factory library sounds are not that good ). I'm considering getting a Tyros 3 or Tyros 4 mainly because my computer is starting to play up and if I ever have to reinstall everything I might not be able to get halion 6 back and I'm not going back to the SE version, also when I bought Halion Symphonic Orchestra I ended up getting a refund because i couldn't get the licence to work. But I think Genos is a little out of my budget. The Super Articulation is a neat feature to have. Maybe in the future I might buy some more Native Instruments libraries for Kontakt but for now I will stick with the Factory library, Abbey Road Drummer Collection and freebies ( it's still worth having the full version of Kontakt for that alone ). I'm glad buying a Komplete midi controller with a Komplete bundle worked out for you.
@@LittleRichard1988 Arrangers are cool if you're gigging and perform live and earn a living from touring to cover the cost of this machine plus your net profit. I am a music production guy and bought Genos mainly for production, thinking that it was cool for production, it is not! It's very limited and the samples aren't meant to be for production. The samples in arrangers aren't live recorded samples like in sample libraries because if that's the case, you'll end up having terrabytes of samples in Genos with terrabytes of internal storage. Instead, arrangers use "Modeling" which takes the original sound and mimic it from scratch using algorithms and crap. The result is low sized samples with close-to-original sound quality. So my mistake is that I bought something wasn't intended for production but for live performance. I blame myself more than Yamaha for taking the decision of buying something wrong ,but I still blame Yamaha for their fake marketing by saying that it's a music production rig as well. I thought I could have a single production machine rather than having separate rigs like a computer, screens, mouse, keyboard, samples, midi controllers, here, there, and such. Then I realized that it's the only way to have these separate rigs if I want to produce something. Finally, I faced HELL when I wanted to sell it. It took me 2.5 yrs to sell it because of course it's expensive and not everyone is able to buy something like that. So it's meant to buy it, perform it, enjoy it and not selling it. After I sold it, it was an unbelievable relief and luckily I haven't lost much money in selling it. I literally celebrated that day haha. I was in prison man.
@@Ahmad-Mounir44 In the end I didn't buy an arranger keyboard, partly because it's too expensive buying one just to do midi and multi track sequencing. But arranger keyboards are not intended for sound recording they are only intended for people who are really good at playing live. I agree it's very misleading for Yamaha to call Tyros and Genos workstations as they are arrangers. As I'm now unemployed I certainly can't afford to take such a gamble on one of these hidious arranger keyboards because of the pain if trying to then sell it to get yourt money back, maybe if I hadn't quit my job I may well have bought a Tyros 5 or maybe I would have bought a PSR-SX700 which is a lot cheaper and looks more like a traditional home keyboard but even so. At least with my Yamaha PSR-295 which I hardly ever use I can put it in the zip bag, store it in the corner and forget about it. I also think even some of the entry level PSRs have become more expensive. If my computer ever did crash I don't see why reinstalling Halion 6 would be a problem as my licenses for everything I have ever purchased from Steinberg are stored on my USB dongle and my Steinberg Download assistant account still has everything I have ever purchased and downloaded although with Cubase Artist 7 reinstalling that would be easier as it's a CD ROM. Update I ended up buying a new computer because my old computer started running very slow and I also had a problem with some VST plugins not working correctly and as I also had to buy a new version of Cubase Artist 7 I also rebought Halion 6 and it all works fine on my new computer and maybe in the future I might buy Kotakt 7 and some more Native Instruments libraries once I get my new computer to load all libraries from an external hard drive.
Overpriced home-keyboard that kills your individual musical creativity! After too many versions of the Tyros they had to change the name, still the same shit!
I agree I miss the good old days when keyboards were just consumer products and people just had fun with them and didn't take it seriously. But now way too many people are quick to say entry level keyboards are "rubbish" when in reality it's not the keyboard that makes you good but rather how good you are playing.
Could someone explain, why this guy is playing the same stuff on all demos? I have already heard this on Sweetwater and others demo.. What a waste of time!! You guys at Guitar Center, why don't you ask him to play something else and demonstrate other functions of the instrument?
This is actually an arranger keyboard and it's perfect if your someone who plays the melody with one hand the the auto accompaniment with the other. But in actual fact keyboards like Yamaha Montage, MODX, Roland Fantom, Korg Kross are workstation/synths which are better geared towards music production/midi sequencing if that's your thing. Hope this helps.
Terrific musicianship, thank you for this great video on a great keyboard. Your 'comping' during the swing (8:45), one chord per beat, is amazing! May I ask a question about the "chord loop" function? 20 years ago I used this function constantly on my Roland E-86 (made in 1994), to play or create the underlying chord progressions (often spontaneously), and then use two hands to play solos (LH on the modulation wheel or pitch bend, RH play saxophone or whatever); or, in a live setting, while leading worship I could establish a chord progression, and then physically depart from behind the keyboard, walk out to the front of the stage, and sing and lead the people in worship WHILE the E-86 kept playing the progression - and then after a while, go back behind the keyboard and seamlessly pick up in midstream (to play reharms or go into the chorus or B-section, etc). It was wonderful! Fast-forward 25 years, and now I use a Tyros 5, and it's a great keyboard, BUT sadly it doesn't allow for either of these powerful and useful functions. My Left Hand is forever trapped having to play the chord progressions, with only spits and spurts darting over the left to adjust the mod or pitchbend wheels, and always having to zip back to play the new chord on the down-beat (which is often the very moment when mod or pitchbending is most needed in an effective solo). And another thing: with the Tyros, my body is physically trapped behind the keyboard. I can't depart from behind the Tyros to get more physically present to lead or exhort the people. Alas, how I miss the arranger loop function! (I'm much less effective as a live performer without it.) So I'm very excited to see that the Genos 2 has the arranger loop!! Way to go Yamaha! So now.... I wonder: since this appears to be primarily a software update (and not a hardware feature that requires a separate set of buttons, like on the E86) ... could this feature possibly be programmed into an updated firmware or software version for the Tyros 5? Does anyone have any idea? I don't really want to leave my Tyros 5 yet, it's still an awesome keyboard; plus, the learning curve to learn the Genos is as much a deterrent as is the price to upgrade from the Tyros. So hopefully Yamaha will see fit to program this arranger loop function into the Tyros software or firmware, and not force us who REALLY need this feature, to buy a Genos2. Would love to hear from you or anyone who knows, about this. Thanks. Keep up with the awesome music!
2 BIG FLAWS the GENOS and TYROS' do not have are: 1. the RESET BUTTON to reset to BEAT 1 when you don't have PRO SINGERS who sang out of beat. For a nearly 6K board, this is unacceptable. 2. the Other flaw, is to be able to adjust velocity individual drum sounds in REAL TIME NOT unless you stop your playing and make adjustments unlike the KETRON KEYBOARDS do. PLEASE YAMAHA, fix or add these features.
This is a great looking keyboard workstation, but I am so grateful music sound industry has change in the favor of implementation of computer producing. What I mean, "overprice is a understatement". It should be "outrageous price!" for this unit but I am not surprised by the price, it Yamaha. For my many years of being music producer, Yamaha, Tascam, and Roland have been doing this same price scheme for over the years. Not only that, selling units with no upfront pc connect but you have to buy an additional slot unit to transfer your music. Then after buying the unit for thousands of $$, the company offers an sound update for $$$$ after you spent $$$$ for the unit. And to top that off, when the unit become discontinued, (and it will be soon) they do not provide any software updates after you have spent $$$$. I know this is a business but I am so thankful for the change of music industry game. Companies like Yamaha choked the inspired but broke producers and also their sound library is customized to a particular type of genres style. I dare wouldn't buy this keyboard neither do I want it for free. It will hurt my workflow. This keyboard is designed for live performance not pre-production.

yamaha MUST sell loads of these $3k+ arrangers but I've never in my 20+ years of full-time professional keyboard playing have ever met a single person who actually owns one. weird. I've seen them in use in non-english speaking restaurants and on cruise ships. I sometimes suspect it's a secret weapon of commercial library music producers- and I mean literally kept secret. Just some thoughts
The sound of violins is just as bad as on my $100 Yamaha PSR-640 and it's after 20+ years of development. More buttons though, I admit, at a ridiculous price.
Can't believe my homeboys wife spent $6,000 for this. But it does sound nice. Ain't gonna lie. That guitar sequence got me wanting to go over his house right now. I'm stunned!
I live in middle east I mean I'm gonna play some Persian and Turkish music. I'm beginner and want to buy a keyboard! Which keyboard should I buy? I mean I can buy these easily in my country yamaha S775- S970- S975-- korg pa 700- pa600qt- pa900 which one is okay between these? I'm beginner right now but I want keep the keyboard for at least 4 years
The next big thing in keyboard advances... NEEDS to be.... Ease of use... we old timers, who play, but have been left behind, by all the advancement, need ease of use! If you think this is... you are not as far behind as am I.... :)
... when the Korg Kronos gets attention through reviews and comparisons with various synthesizers and workstations such as montage, motif and genos to name a few comparisons with Yamaha, all the genos gets is reviews and self praise. The three review videos that I checked out ( including this one) is by the same reviewer, all three being done by the Yamaha's senior manager , whereas Kronos had a way larger audience
If Yamaha genos had more sample pads like Roland FA series, an intuitive looper, sequencer, better sound engine and more support for manual bass part for external connectivity to organ pedal board and appeal back to the organists or yester year. Then they might on to something. On a positive the drums on Yamaha are very good indeed.
Put "flagship" in the name of your product, ask unbelievable price 2 times as much as the same keyboard without few gimmicks, and everyone will get crazy to buy it. With all that said, Genos is really great arranger, just not without some flaws and compromises even with this price.
Excellent instrument. Gamble hit the nail on the head. This instrument can do it all, but it still comes down to 1) can you play, 2) can you write music and 3) will you spend the time to fully learn the full instrument. I've heard people with the Korg Kronos not sound too good because they were not good piano players. Yet I've heard someone use an old portable cheap keyboard and make it sound great.
Hello Martin I was wondering which of the keyboards lets you sing into a mic and can change your voice to someone else-saw a demo about 20 years ago where it changed a man's voice to Tina Turner it was amazing
If you want more natural sounds, better and easier menu on composing, more inspiration to play just buy the pa4x. It calls you to play even if you don't want to play.
I now have this keyboard and it really is epic! I need this guy to come and visit me and walk me through how he does all this stuff - Post Covid! Ha ha - What a dude! Only wish I could play it like this guy. I have the three manuals that can be bought for Genos but it would be great if Guitar Guitar could do some online tutorials to show these demos in more detail.
For each instrument that we select we always need to configure the sliders in the left top panel manually? these sliders move automatic using the touch screen to control it?
Question: I have experience with both low-end and high-end keyboards and have discovered--to my absolute horror--that some high-end instruments (in particular, from a well-known name that shall go unmentioned) actually do not have the ability to allow a SOUND THAT SUSTAINS (such as violin) to DECAY when a key is RELEASED WITH the sustain pedal DEPRESSED. So, I must explicitly ask: Does Genos have this ability? I didn't hear any strings decay in Martin's presentation of a string sound near the end, so I'm a little concerned. It so happens that this ability is EMINENTLY USEFUL for realistic performances of sustaining sounds.
Dear LORD!!!! This machine is a work of ART!!!!. BTW 10 thumbs up for the musician who is demontrating this amazing instrument.
Geo Fergal yes indeed. He is amazing
Sad thing is I'm going to buy this and end up playing chopsticks on it because I definitely can't play it like this dude
Please buy it for me..
I'm good in playing..i will be playing and recording for you.. I base in FCT Abuja in Nigeria.. I'm a sound and studio engineer.. But just wish you buy and ship to my location and keep receiving your tracks and records as you wish.. I'm serious! Ask me for further details I will provide to you.. I love this keyboard but I can't afford it at this time.. Thanks.
Congrats Ryan! Take some lessons and enjoy your beautiful keyboard to the fullest. As a former teacher and keys sales rep for a leading retailer... here is another reccomendation:
Find out who your local 'Genos Guru' is ... and hire them to walk you through everything your keyboard has to offer. It might take a few sessions but it's sooo much more productive than piddling through.
Congrats again and cheers!
Don’t give up and enjoy
😂😂😂you’re not alone Sir
Yamaha PSR SX900 does almost all that fro a third of the price. If someone needs all those features, to me that means that have not practiced enough scales and arpeggios and use sound color to cover up their lack of technique.
Dear Santa, I've been very good this year...!

@JIM JONES are you saying that you are gay?
Then you must get one!
I wasn't planning on buying a new keyboard anytime soon. But after watching this, hmm. Damn you Yamaha 😄😝
Damn, PSR line got expensive

This is a 5500 bucks device !!!!
Just buy a MIDI controller (maybe an Alesis with 88 keys for 300 bucks), link it to the PC, download Kontact and the infinite sound library, also download Ivory for real pianos, and any workstation software.
Don't waste your money in a limited dinosaur keyboard and sequencer.
Hi Marcelo, would like to better understand this setup you described, chance to get in contact with you?
how would your setup work for a "one man band" on live stage with improvised sessions? arrangers are quite good with all that styles stuff (intros, endings, fill in etc ) for that purpose.... interested to know how that would work on your setup
I agree for music production a midi controller and a sampler or VST instruments such as Kontakt, Sampletank or Halon 7
is perfect for music production. This is an arranger keyboard and it's not intended for that sort of use.
The Roland G70 it is better than the Genos even though it's older.The test showed that the sounds are absolutely identical it's like Yamaha cloned a Roland G70.I sold the Genos and bought back a Roland G70.Genos is not worth half the price that Roland has, it is cheaper and Genos eats for breakfast.
I really want to like the Genos but that C7 piano sounds way to thin and smothered in effects .I can not here any natural acoustic sound of a real piano.Way to digital.
one man band machines. see them at weddings all the time. 2500k per gig they pay for them selves fast.
What an ugly design!
Err, okay. It always puzzles and irritates me why a demonstration of a new keyboard treats many features that have been there in past models like "oh my god this is great"!

And really leave the OMG factor to actually new features. This is one of many marketing blurbs that I personally would like to see buried and gone.
I just saw the price. Totally not worth 5K. INSANITY! ....You can buy $2K laptop, $1K MMX88, a DAW, and still have over 1K left over for a decent pair of monitors and wires.
4200€ for 76 key model i think..

Roland actually did this with the G1000...check it out, I love mine.
We already know YAmaha has great sounds. How do you actually write, compose or make a beat on this $5000 + machine? I would like to see how you sequence and edit, mix and master your music on this bad boy.
DJ ICE I feel the same way. Why market it as a workstation but never demo the features. Tbh I believe it's just an arranger.
Like wise its about serious time they showed those features.

I didn't know you could change the colors of the LEDs and the color scheme of the display!
It's interesting that they use Korg's joystick on this keyboard, leaving behind their two wheels PB and modulator.
But I would add one more modulation free run wheel to this joystick, and that would be top notch set up.
Love this keyboard But there’s sooo much to learn how to use etc , took me years to play and will probably take a few more to understand the full potential of this keyboard 😳the electric guitar sound was dreadful for the price though, just one more thing although you play well why keep playing old fashioned scores, surely we need to move with the times not every player wants to play at Blackpool tower
Or the theatre;(((( get modern, new technology old music what’s the point in evolution flugelhorn ffs
On my birthday i have psr s 775 next one i want Genos why not?price scared desire wins
Same demo as found on other major retailers channels. :-/
The Tyros keyboards always had the best sound quality by far of any keyboard I've ever heard. Kronos, Jupiter 80, montage, rd2000, none of those even come close. But for 6000 bucks, you can only get these with a synth action keybed?
Looks like a kronos but the back is ugly lol
GCM PRODUCTIONS who cares about how it looks at the back lol. If it sounds as magic as here I’ll accept that curved ugly back. But I do get your point. They should have thought about it a bit more on that design.
The curved back looks like it might break if you're not careful :-(
korgpa4x korg ,do you know how much is it,what is its price,and which one is cheaper between this one and the yamaha pr s970?
chendo kilos The 76 key model is around £4000 in the UK with no speakers. The Yamaha Prs 970 is around £1550 so less than double the price of the Genos.
chendo kilos oooooooooooooooo
Finally got my hands on one to play and considering the price tag and my demo time with both the Korg Pa4X and Roland FA series, I was underwhelmed. The sounds are good, but honestly they're good on all of them. Yamaha added quite a big jump in the number of Mega Voices, Super Articulation voices, and Super Articulation 2 voices -- a bigger increase than we've seen with previous Tyros-to-Tyros upgrades, yet does it sound significantly better than the others, the answer is subjective to each person, but polling 17 different keyboard players during a blind test, none of them were able to correctly identify the Yamaha sounds as better when played over 4 different songs . The first things to jump out at me were the lack of intuitiveness and layout. It seemed counter-intuitive to find and do things in a live setting. The features seemed more geared to a studio than a live setting. Secondly, they market this as a workstation, yet it s has no daw integration at all, no real onboard sound editing features, only a few basic parameters, no audio over USB - The Tyros 5, Yamaha's top-of-the-line arranger keyboard did not have a built-in USB audio interface. The Genos doesn't either, baffling to me, and there is no pattern sequencer, also if you are looking at the sequencer on this, you'll find some disappointment in its limitations. To be honest, if I was gonna get something, price would come into play (as it always does). I would probably go with a PA4X. Why? It seems better built, is more compact (you could comfortably use it as a top tier in a two-board setup for function work), is sonically at least the equal of the Genos and it is just far more tweakable which is abundantly obvious if you compare them head on, and the price is $1500 less. If I truly wanted and had to have a workstation, the Roland FA series for the price is great value or simply get the Kronos if you want to spend more which is an amazing machine. I really hoped Yamaha had a good thing here with the huge let down of the Tyros 5 and the one sided aspect of the Montage. It turns out to me the Genos is just another arranger all too similar to the Tyros 5 for tastes.
curve edge...hmm really ugly
Man O Man... this Machine can prodruce teardrops by playing the right stuff...very very good demo, Sir !!! Thank You! Cheers, and all the best! Frank
we need an 88 key version with realistic graded hammer action for less than $2,000
Adeboye Grillo - dream on my friend - LOL
This machine alone is 6 grand
But nobody can beat KORG kronos 2..its the best and most powerful synthesizer in the planet
debatable
@@imandan1966 yes should we start debate.. It will goes through lifelong😆
I agree Korg Kronos 2 is better for music production because it's a workstation and workstations
are intended for that pourpose. But as Genos is an arranger it's only really intented for playing live
or recording demo tracks.
@@LittleRichard1988 very true ...finally someone saud the final verdict
Amazing machine! How many of my children for trade? I've a few. I'd just donate them to medical science anyway. 3,4,-5? Most of them are house trained. I guess by the age of 15 or so, they probably should be. I stopped breastfeeding a few months ago and most of them adjusted fairly well. Mostly.... I need this keyboard!
the perfect thing to own for the modern weather channel music composer...
If you have no imagination and don't consider all it's potential, yes, it is.
Too bad none of the actual Guitar Center stores actually carry it so we can test it, nor do they carry most other new keyboards.
Yamaha should add the Yamaha
A5000 Oriental pack to the Genos the A5000 has everything and still way cheaper than Genos I don't know why we should buy Genos with this expensive price and still we have to add a lot of samples to it doesn't make any sense 😡
CAD 7,938.35 $$$ uhh ill buy it if it comes in PINK
Nice new psr500 🤣
227/5000
Thank you, dear Martin. Good presentation. I have not yet known some menus. Have read the manual even very little, although I have the Workstaion equal to 2 years.
Greetings from Görlywood in Germany :)
This keyboard would be good for Euro electronic music. Of course I am sure it can do other things, but most of the demos show these types of sounds/accompaniments. The piano and nine faders are nice.
You shoud be aware that they(Yamaha Corp) improve sound quality with high tech equipment before publishing this on YT
An Arranger and a Workstation .
God my help me get this keyboard
one man band...boring.
biggest mistake , released too soon. the odd shape keyboard rocks back and forth, the sounds are a little better but the tyros5 is much easier to use...I returned this piece of shit!
❤ I love this keyboard Lord pls. 🙏🙏🙏 I wish I can have it ❤🙏
I sold it in a heartbeat with a decent price, got Cubase 10, tons of sample libraries, komplete kontrol MK2 midi controller, and there was still a surplus.
Will never ever make this mistake again and buy expensive arranger keyboard like this. Yamaha, you're just fucking expensive company. Even your PSR series is expensive.
I personally have Halion 6, the full version of Kontakt plus Abbey Road Drummer Collection. Some of Halion6's sounds like the saxophones are the same as
the saxophones on Tyros 2, even Genos uses those same sax samples which is good because I personally like Yamaha's samples even if they are a bit fake
sounding ( some of the Kontakt Factory library sounds are not that good ). I'm considering getting a Tyros 3 or Tyros 4 mainly because my computer is starting
to play up and if I ever have to reinstall everything I might not be able to get halion 6 back and I'm not going back to the SE version, also when I bought Halion
Symphonic Orchestra I ended up getting a refund because i couldn't get the licence to work. But I think Genos is a little out of my budget. The Super Articulation
is a neat feature to have. Maybe in the future I might buy some more Native Instruments libraries for Kontakt but for now I will stick with the Factory library,
Abbey Road Drummer Collection and freebies ( it's still worth having the full version of Kontakt for that alone ). I'm glad buying a Komplete midi controller
with a Komplete bundle worked out for you.
@@LittleRichard1988 Arrangers are cool if you're gigging and perform live and earn a living from touring to cover the cost of this machine plus your net profit. I am a music production guy and bought Genos mainly for production, thinking that it was cool for production, it is not! It's very limited and the samples aren't meant to be for production. The samples in arrangers aren't live recorded samples like in sample libraries because if that's the case, you'll end up having terrabytes of samples in Genos with terrabytes of internal storage. Instead, arrangers use "Modeling" which takes the original sound and mimic it from scratch using algorithms and crap. The result is low sized samples with close-to-original sound quality.
So my mistake is that I bought something wasn't intended for production but for live performance. I blame myself more than Yamaha for taking the decision of buying something wrong ,but I still blame Yamaha for their fake marketing by saying that it's a music production rig as well. I thought I could have a single production machine rather than having separate rigs like a computer, screens, mouse, keyboard, samples, midi controllers, here, there, and such. Then I realized that it's the only way to have these separate rigs if I want to produce something.
Finally, I faced HELL when I wanted to sell it. It took me 2.5 yrs to sell it because of course it's expensive and not everyone is able to buy something like that. So it's meant to buy it, perform it, enjoy it and not selling it. After I sold it, it was an unbelievable relief and luckily I haven't lost much money in selling it. I literally celebrated that day haha. I was in prison man.
@@Ahmad-Mounir44 In the end I didn't buy an arranger keyboard, partly because it's too expensive buying one just to do midi and
multi track sequencing. But arranger keyboards are not intended for sound recording they are only intended for people who are really good at playing live.
I agree it's very misleading for Yamaha to call Tyros and Genos workstations as they are arrangers. As I'm now unemployed I certainly can't afford to
take such a gamble on one of these hidious arranger keyboards because of the pain if trying to then sell it to get yourt money back, maybe if I hadn't
quit my job I may well have bought a Tyros 5 or maybe I would have bought a PSR-SX700 which is a lot cheaper and looks more like a traditional home
keyboard but even so. At least with my Yamaha PSR-295 which I hardly ever use I can put it in the zip bag, store it in the corner and forget about it.
I also think even some of the entry level PSRs have become more expensive.
If my computer ever did crash I don't see why reinstalling Halion 6 would be a problem as my licenses for everything I have ever purchased from Steinberg
are stored on my USB dongle and my Steinberg Download assistant account still has everything I have ever purchased and downloaded although with Cubase
Artist 7 reinstalling that would be easier as it's a CD ROM.
Update I ended up buying a new computer because my old computer started running very slow and I also had a problem with some VST plugins not working
correctly and as I also had to buy a new version of Cubase Artist 7 I also rebought Halion 6 and it all works fine on my new computer and maybe in the future
I might buy Kotakt 7 and some more Native Instruments libraries once I get my new computer to load all libraries from an external hard drive.
Звуки в этом инструменте подобное мамонтом старые как протухшие дерьмо
Overpriced home-keyboard that kills your individual musical creativity!
After too many versions of the Tyros they had to change the name, still
the same shit!
I agree I miss the good old days when keyboards were just consumer products and people just had fun with them and
didn't take it seriously. But now way too many people are quick to say entry level keyboards are "rubbish" when in reality
it's not the keyboard that makes you good but rather how good you are playing.
Could someone explain, why this guy is playing the same stuff on all demos? I have already heard this on Sweetwater and others demo.. What a waste of time!! You guys at Guitar Center, why don't you ask him to play something else and demonstrate other functions of the instrument?
that's a good question -same stuff -same guy -boring-doesn't anybody rock anymore --?
why does this dude remind me of K.C. OF THE SUNSHINE BAND ?
3 sodding grand and you don't get a weighted fekkin keyboard... sheeeeesh!
i guess the weighted keyboard is reserved for the 88 key model, just like Motif's series
Actually 6 grand
I think the reason arranger keyboards don't tend to have weighted
keys is to make it easier to take them places.

8:42 Damn man you know how to swing !! :) I'm transcribing that solo right now !
I didn't realize that workstation / arranger keyboards had gotten so incredibly good. Now I want one!
😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😊😊😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😊
This is actually an arranger keyboard and it's perfect if your someone who plays the melody with one
hand the the auto accompaniment with the other. But in actual fact keyboards like Yamaha Montage,
MODX, Roland Fantom, Korg Kross are workstation/synths which are better geared towards music
production/midi sequencing if that's your thing. Hope this helps.
this or yamaha S-970?i cannot decide..(for me Roland still is my first choice)
How the 4 cable connection to mixer like korg px5 ?
I still have motif XS and I don't know if or with what to upgrade
I wouldn't bother upgrading, the XS is already a supremely capable instrument.
Stick with the Motif XS, I wish I had one!
It all sounds like Miami Vice background misic
The guitar sounds on that machine sounds amazing.
Terrific musicianship, thank you for this great video on a great keyboard. Your 'comping' during the swing (8:45), one chord per beat, is amazing! May I ask a question about the "chord loop" function? 20 years ago I used this function constantly on my Roland E-86 (made in 1994), to play or create the underlying chord progressions (often spontaneously), and then use two hands to play solos (LH on the modulation wheel or pitch bend, RH play saxophone or whatever); or, in a live setting, while leading worship I could establish a chord progression, and then physically depart from behind the keyboard, walk out to the front of the stage, and sing and lead the people in worship WHILE the E-86 kept playing the progression - and then after a while, go back behind the keyboard and seamlessly pick up in midstream (to play reharms or go into the chorus or B-section, etc). It was wonderful!
Fast-forward 25 years, and now I use a Tyros 5, and it's a great keyboard, BUT sadly it doesn't allow for either of these powerful and useful functions. My Left Hand is forever trapped having to play the chord progressions, with only spits and spurts darting over the left to adjust the mod or pitchbend wheels, and always having to zip back to play the new chord on the down-beat (which is often the very moment when mod or pitchbending is most needed in an effective solo). And another thing: with the Tyros, my body is physically trapped behind the keyboard. I can't depart from behind the Tyros to get more physically present to lead or exhort the people. Alas, how I miss the arranger loop function! (I'm much less effective as a live performer without it.)
So I'm very excited to see that the Genos 2 has the arranger loop!! Way to go Yamaha! So now.... I wonder: since this appears to be primarily a software update (and not a hardware feature that requires a separate set of buttons, like on the E86) ... could this feature possibly be programmed into an updated firmware or software version for the Tyros 5? Does anyone have any idea? I don't really want to leave my Tyros 5 yet, it's still an awesome keyboard; plus, the learning curve to learn the Genos is as much a deterrent as is the price to upgrade from the Tyros. So hopefully Yamaha will see fit to program this arranger loop function into the Tyros software or firmware, and not force us who REALLY need this feature, to buy a Genos2. Would love to hear from you or anyone who knows, about this. Thanks. Keep up with the awesome music!
I love this keyboard.. Love YAMAHA
13:34 does wiggle your finger on a key make it tremolo? lol
I only have one problem I can't afford it
2 BIG FLAWS the GENOS and TYROS' do not have are:
1. the RESET BUTTON to reset to BEAT 1 when you don't have PRO SINGERS who sang out of beat. For a nearly 6K board, this is unacceptable.
2. the Other flaw, is to be able to adjust velocity individual drum sounds in REAL TIME NOT unless you stop your playing and make adjustments unlike the KETRON KEYBOARDS do. PLEASE YAMAHA, fix or add these features.
This is a great looking keyboard workstation, but I am so grateful music sound industry has change in the favor of implementation of computer producing. What I mean, "overprice is a understatement". It should be "outrageous price!" for this unit but I am not surprised by the price, it Yamaha. For my many years of being music producer, Yamaha, Tascam, and Roland have been doing this same price scheme for over the years. Not only that, selling units with no upfront pc connect but you have to buy an additional slot unit to transfer your music. Then after buying the unit for thousands of $$, the company offers an sound update for $$$$ after you spent $$$$ for the unit. And to top that off, when the unit become discontinued, (and it will be soon) they do not provide any software updates after you have spent $$$$. I know this is a business but I am so thankful for the change of music industry game. Companies like Yamaha choked the inspired but broke producers and also their sound library is customized to a particular type of genres style. I dare wouldn't buy this keyboard neither do I want it for free. It will hurt my workflow. This keyboard is designed for live performance not pre-production.
Get a DAW and a midi keyboard....probably set for a few years...at a fraction of the cost.
@1:48 sounds like a new game console start up
Amazing, but... it really seems from the demo that Yamaha are going after the lucrative hotel lobby market.
Arranger keyboards are a niche market for one man band musicians. Yamaha Montage is for the more
serious keyboardist or anybody onto music production.

this is just an overpriced toy. why is it more expensive than the montage? smh
More features? More sounds? Can play styles?
very great sounds but i dont really like the piano sound
yamaha MUST sell loads of these $3k+ arrangers but I've never in my 20+ years of full-time professional keyboard playing have ever met a single person who actually owns one. weird. I've seen them in use in non-english speaking restaurants and on cruise ships. I sometimes suspect it's a secret weapon of commercial library music producers- and I mean literally kept secret. Just some thoughts
It s an gipsy style new psr 🤣
if u want real pro keyboard the play Rolan RD-88 or Roland FA-08
"Arrangers" make their money by making other people's songs sound like songs people have *heard before*. It's the opposite of innovative creativity.
try the ethnic wedding scene. they are every where as one man bands lol
I really love this Keyboard
Hi mr. Harris, can you tell me the name of that 60's song you playng on the minute 8? Thanks
The sound of violins is just as bad as on my $100 Yamaha PSR-640 and it's after 20+ years of development.
More buttons though, I admit, at a ridiculous price.
Can't believe my homeboys wife spent $6,000 for this. But it does sound nice. Ain't gonna lie. That guitar sequence got me wanting to go over his house right now. I'm stunned!
I live in middle east I mean I'm gonna play some Persian and Turkish music. I'm beginner and want to buy a keyboard! Which keyboard should I buy? I mean I can buy these easily in my country yamaha S775- S970- S975-- korg pa 700- pa600qt- pa900 which one is okay between these? I'm beginner right now but I want keep the keyboard for at least 4 years
Finally a yamaha with a pitch bend and not that ugly wheel anymore
Tech Only woooooooWEEEEOEOOOOOWOOEOPPWOOOWERRERERRRRREEEEEEEEE...wooooooww..
Lmao...pretty much that
it must be amazing when you know how to play piano like this man i would make all kinds of music
Genos is not available in brazil yet, but the price would be around to 28k!!!! Something near 28 times the minimum wage. Its crazy man.. impossible
The next big thing in keyboard advances... NEEDS to be.... Ease of use... we old timers, who play, but have been left behind, by all the advancement, need ease of use! If you think this is... you are not as far behind as am I.... :)
... when the Korg Kronos gets attention through reviews and comparisons with various synthesizers and workstations such as montage, motif and genos to name a few comparisons with Yamaha, all the genos gets is reviews and self praise. The three review videos that I checked out ( including this one) is by the same reviewer, all three being done by the Yamaha's senior manager , whereas Kronos had a way larger audience
Great demo Guy really knows what most keyboard player wants❤👍👏👏👏
I have not ever looked seriously at Yamaha...until now...looks like a great Product....!!!!
Piano is best on the Kronos
If Yamaha genos had more sample pads like Roland FA series, an intuitive looper, sequencer, better sound engine and more support for manual bass part for external connectivity to organ pedal board and appeal back to the organists or yester year. Then they might on to something. On a positive the drums on Yamaha are very good indeed.
Awesome BUT I wanted to buy hang gilder 1st it will be a while before I come up with $5500.00 Already own Pro tools
Put "flagship" in the name of your product, ask unbelievable price 2 times as much as the same keyboard without few gimmicks, and everyone will get crazy to buy it.
With all that said, Genos is really great arranger, just not without some flaws and compromises even with this price.
Goddammit! LIAM NEESON PLAYS MAD KEYBOARD!!
Excellent instrument. Gamble hit the nail on the head. This instrument can do it all, but it still comes down to 1) can you play, 2) can you write music and 3) will you spend the time to fully learn the full instrument. I've heard people with the Korg Kronos not sound too good because they were not good piano players. Yet I've heard someone use an old portable cheap keyboard and make it sound great.
What a botch of a product! And it's 76 keys so not as a portable PSR! Ooo, maybe lost the plot there ...
its a PSR-S9xx with arpegiator and hardware mixer... "and has a touch screen"
Hello Martin I was wondering which of the keyboards lets you sing into a mic and can change your voice to someone else-saw a demo about 20 years ago where it changed a man's voice to Tina Turner it was amazing
If you want more natural sounds, better and easier menu on composing, more inspiration to play just buy the pa4x. It calls you to play even if you don't want to play.
Wooooow! How many dollars if I want to buy it ma brother?
Close to $6 grand
Really difficult to have good pianos on digital instruments and here I find the acoustic pianos not very good
I now have this keyboard and it really is epic!
I need this guy to come and visit me and walk me through how he does all this stuff - Post Covid! Ha ha - What a dude! Only wish I could play it like this guy. I have the three manuals that can be bought for Genos but it would be great if Guitar Guitar could do some online tutorials to show these demos in more detail.
This is one of the best keyboards. You can also find more high-quality styles for Genos here ruclips.net/video/LfgRvw3iqVo/видео.html
For each instrument that we select we always need to configure the sliders in the left top panel manually? these sliders move automatic using the touch screen to control it?
Does it have loaded key action? You didn't say. Amazing instrument.
Question: I have experience with both low-end and high-end keyboards and have discovered--to my absolute horror--that some high-end instruments (in particular, from a well-known name that shall go unmentioned) actually do not have the ability to allow a SOUND THAT SUSTAINS (such as violin) to DECAY when a key is RELEASED WITH the sustain pedal DEPRESSED. So, I must explicitly ask: Does Genos have this ability? I didn't hear any strings decay in Martin's presentation of a string sound near the end, so I'm a little concerned. It so happens that this ability is EMINENTLY USEFUL for realistic performances of sustaining sounds.
Incredible performance
the machine is fine but, please, is too expensive......just give us a break to buy it....thanks
Sounds unreal however the first half of the demonstration was guitar tones. Just buy a...
how much Geno's 2
