First off I will admit that I am a terrible keyboard player. 71 years old, retired 10 years or so ago. Located near Tallahassee, Florida. Played in top 40 bands in my younger days using a Hammond B3, MiniMoog synth, and at one point a Mellotron that was owned by the bass player.
Quit the bands and sold my equipment many moons ago when I found that playing 6 nights a week and working a full time job during the day was just a killer and I had to choose one over the other. I guess when I went to a bank to get a loan to buy the B3 and the loan officer asked me about my employment, and I told him a musician in a band and he wrote down "UNEMPLOYED", that made a real impression on me.
Anyway, bought various keyboard to play at home over the years. Still have a Kurzweil PC3x, that hasn't seen daylight from under the dust cover since I bought the Korg Kronos. Hooked up a Roland BK-7m to the Kronos to give me a sort of semi-arranger capability, but it was never very satisfactory.
So enter the Genos. Haven't spent much time with it yet, but after fiddling with the EQ settings and pumping the sound through my modified home theater sound system, it sounds really decent now. Luckily I live in the middle of the woods, otherwise the neighbors would be threatening me with bodily harm. Heck, they STILL might hear me. I guess if they put up with the joker in the pickup truck who blasts his stereo while driving up and down the road, they certainly can put up with me. But the wife and I have a reputation for being the crazy people with snakes and guns, so probably no worries there.
I will likely be interested in buying the offerings here for more styles and MIDI implementations. Sooner or later, any way. Don't want to get too bogged down when just trying to get my feet wet with this new keyboard. Actually I was lucky to find a Genos offered for sale, as it seemed like most places I looked were sold out and had them on backorder. I debated between the Genos and the Kork PA4x but I just felt that the styles sounded much better to my ears on the Genos. There were some functions on the PA4x that the Genos didn't have, but I weighted the sound of the styles pretty heavily.
Oh well. Enough already. I am a pretty fast touch typist so I can get wordy sometimes.
Just saying "HEY".
