People need to stop wining and complaining about Yamaha and just go buy a Korg or Roland or Casio.

I agree with you, there is a difference between wining and complaining, and discussing shortcommings and wishes.
People should not say, Yamaha should have feature X from brand Y... but explain why feature X would be great for Genos..
For me, Yamaha could create the perfect instrument by puting everything the Genos does, and everything the modx does in a single keyboard... problem is, they didn’t and it will probably not happen for a decade... so i did what Yamaha expects a loyal customer to do. I bought both.
Some time ago, i bought a modx, and playing it more and more made me realise all the things Yamaha does great.. making easy accesible keyboards with an intuitive interface that mostly sound more natural and authentic then the competition..
And so i ended up with trading in the pa4x for a Genos, the seccond i got a good deal to do so... and now i am exchnaging the modx6 for a modx8.. since i also sold the Kronos, a motif xs rack and my kurzweil pc3x, i ended up with enough money in my pocket to upgrade the Modx with a Montage 2, if such an instrument ever is released..
Point is, people need to find solutions with whats available... sure Yamaha needs to repair bugs and listen to the wishes of the owners.. and i am a strong believer that they will certainly do so for Genos...but you can’t demand things from Yamaha in the fist place, as they weren’t part of the product you bought...but what Yamaha needs to do is repair bugs, even if they are small and only affect a small group of owners..
I also think that The current patch is a bit overdue, but it should be here shortly, expecting a small corrective patch this month... or a bigger content patch just before musikmesse, to give sales a new push later this year...
I have come to the conclusion, that Yamaha is less buggy then the competition.. pa4x is still haunted by bugs, there even are complaints on the korg forums telling korg to first repair their current OS before releasing new features.. and ketron really is another sad story, after 2 years features promissed at the sd9’s release are still not available (sampler).. and the 8 year audya is still haunted with bugs... people should realise that the grass is not allways greener on the other side,... there is no such thing as perfect and bugfree in todays high end electronics/software/keyboards.
