Hi
You have to take In consideration to the speaker systems they use, also how they are recorded.
It makes a world of difference to how a keyboard sounds.
The satellite speakers and boom box on the Genos is very sub standard to the sound of say eg, Focal Alpha's. 50's for small rooms and 65's for larger ones that need extra bass. Also Yamaha's.
For a lot of people the satellite speakers and bass is enough for them. It is their preference.
Also room acoustics play a big part as well.
Yamaha would not sell keyboards If they played them through transistor radio, metaphorically speaking.
Val is right as the Yamaha pro's keep their settings under their hats.
Yamaha should release an advanced book for the Genos going into detail about the deep side. Sounds, Effects etc. Also Integration with Cubase.
It would help a lot of people I'm sure.
Eileen says that sound is a personal preference, but to most peoples ears, they all know what a quality sound sounds like to an average one. but Eileen Is right In saying peoples ears are all different. Another mans meat Is another mans poison.
In general we all know what quality Is and what average Is. If your lug holes are in good nick.
"I have to put my glasses on to hear quality sounds"
Genos sounds as they come do need manipulating to get the best out of them. That Is where the fun begins.
