I think the unusually timed hype and premature release of the Genos, combined with it's new Revo drums etc...have created in itself, more talk and less playing.
The whole situation is exaggerated by the fact that there are still only a scant handful of lucky people out there who actually have one of these mysterious keyboards. When only a few have the Genos, it follows there will be more talk and less music. Give Yamaha six months to flood the market with Genos keyboards, and all this speculative crapola will revert to solid contributions about "how do I do this or that" versus small and meaningless talk. Only then, will things be back to normal.
Thank you Lee.
This may be the best explanation I have heard so far.
Alan has posted an Mp3 demo of Revo drums, switching from style to style, with variations and drum rolls and the whole shebang of different drum kits.
It was informative and the Revo drums sounded great through my headphones.
I have thanked him for his efforts and thank him again right here and now.
I may be asking too much of some Genos owners.
Some may even say, "hey, you want to hear a Genos, get your own."
And they would be right.
There's no Genos here to test.
For some reason, the dealers do not find it worth their time or effort to ship one over.
No customers, except me and a few home users perhaps.
I do not believe anything they say anymore. It was supposed to be here a month ago already.
If they were to tell me that I'm black (which I am) I would not believe them either, if it came from their mouths.
Instruments are meant to be played.
What better satisfaction is there, than to master a song on your new keyboard, record it, and post it here?
For others to hear both the player and the instrument shine?
I will get my Genos sooner, rather than later, as I may be travelling to the mainland anytime now.
I will flog the living daylights out of the d... thing, and post the results here.
Best Regards,
Pianoman.
