Title: First few days of owning a Genos
Post by: AndrewKeyz on December 06, 2017, 09:43:33 AM
I've had my Genos for the last couple of days. My first proper arranger keyboard since given up my old Technics KN1000 years ago.

First observations:


Found myself playing a 2 hour version of Purple Rain and just kept on improvising and changing things up. Very inspiring.
I'm already getting my hands on some of the sheet music/chords of the song styles in the Genos as I really want to play them (I wanna Dance with Somebody / Summer of 69)
Ordered the Les Miz piano book.

Amazing machine. Will hopefully increase my ability with it every day of use.
It's expensive but worth the money and nothing quite like it I reckon.

If I can play it for 4 years until there is a Genos II and continue to get so much fun out of it then it's cheap!

Thank you for this interesting report. My experience is very similar.

Which JBL speakers do you use? The LSR 305? I plan to buy these.

Pleased to hear you are enjoying your Genos. Styles from previous Yamaha keyboards will work and sound fine.
So will registrations and Multi Pads.

Yes Indeed those ones! I got them in white and they look quite nice and sound great.
I was going to get the matching JBL 10 inch subwoofer maybe next year but to be honest I'm not sure it is really necessary!

Thanks Eileen. I will have a look into that for sure. Many great sounding Tyros 5 styles out there from what I've heard.

Thank you for this feedback. This confirms me to do it the same way.
