Hello to all!
Yesterday, I finally got the Genos (I believe it is the first in Brazil, because I bought from another country, since Yamaha Brazil are not selling yet...).
I upgraded from my old Tyros 4 (which I sold 2 months ago) to the new Genos with original speakers.
First review and personal impressions after on funny day:
1) The genos in black are very nice. The screen is big and the touch is ok - no problem at all. My fingerprints, of course, remains on the screen all the time.
2) The sliders and assign circle buttons are very nice and easy to use. I read someone saying they are too big, but I don't think so - it is a good size to use. But, when I change a think in a style, for example, I could not find a way to return to original settings of the style: is there a hidden button or a way to return the style to original settings?
3) I did not play a 76 keys before. So, I'm having a lot of difficulty to play - my left hand (when use chords) go automatically in a wrong position in the keyboard - now I have to look at the keyboard sometimes until get automatic again...
4) Yes, the genos original speakers are louder with no doubt. Good upgrade in quality overall.
5) And the BIG YES, the sound is amazing. From T4 to Genos, a very very very upgrade - impossible to compare. The piano is perfect. The strings too. The drums are amazing. The most important thing - live is even better than youtubing...
6) I did not like the joystick. The modulation always come back to standard - so I need to push a button. But when you release the button, the return of the sound are not smooth.
7) The new EDM styles are TOP. The new assign buttons are amazing for that style. Cutoff is the king - what a nice new feature.
I did not like the end of the "ballad" style section... Now I have to search in a lot of categories to find.
9) Even the old know styles from T4 (also included in built-in styles on Genos) sound very very superior on Genos.
10) The retroPop category is very nice, and a lot of new "old retro" styles.
11) There are new Multipads.
First Conclusion: I DO like the Genos. It's incomparable with T4 (I never played a T5).
Regards,
Pedro
