Martin Harris DEMO of the Genos

Postby Hugh-AR » 07 Nov 2017 22:40

Martin Harris demonstrating Genos.



Genos is Yamaha’s flagship digital workstation, which improves upon the Tyros5 with a complete redesign, added features and an improved sample library. With its intuitive controls, a 9-in. color touchscreen, assignable sliders and buttons, state of the art content and professional connectivity, Genos is the ultimate songwriting and performance tool. To produce its exceptional sample library of real-sounding instruments, Genos is equipped with Yamaha’s Advanced Element Management (AEM) technology. This system powers the new Revo! Drums and Super Articulation 2 (SA2), producing realistic sounds replicating performance nuances.

Watching this Demo it is clear to me that the whole idea of the Genos isn't to download all your Tyros 5 stuff onto it and just play it as if you still have a Tyros 5. There are new features there which one should use to make one's playing more creative and interesting. No point in having all this new technology at your fingertips and not to use it. Listening to Martin Harris, one would have to have an idea in one's head of what one wanted to achieve, and this is a talent in itself. To get the best out of the instrument one would have to do a bit more than put a piece of music up in front of you and play it. The Tyros 5 will do that. Hugh

Hi Hugh,

Things are moving on very fast, I have a Tyros 5 and it will do so much more than just let you play music,
and from what I have seen and heard in demos etc .... There is a big improvement in sound quality, and the operating
system has been updated and a touch screen added, and probably a lot more than that too, so all in all a pretty
impressive piece of kit, which will have a big learning curve if you want to get the most out of it

Hi VAL7JEAN ,

There appears to be a bit of EDM stuff on it, and I would imagine its aimed at songwriters too
