I love my Genos, and believe it is the best arranger currently available on the market.
Nevertheless I miss some important features of my previous keyboards.
I know that somebody doesn't like comparison with other brands. But comparison is a normal factor to improve a product in modern market (cars, smartphones, computers, ecc.). Just think about the Apple Macbook keyboard, that became a kind of benchmark and has been imitated by mostly all brands.
So said, I had various Korg flagships, and I could mention many features that are missing in Genos.
But here i like to concentrate on a few STYLE EDITING easy features, that help to save time and encourage creativity. I would love to see these features on Genos, as I experienced for years how significant they are (I will use Genos terminology for better understanding):
1. In PLAY mode, you can access a window ("Drum mapping") where, for each single variation, you may instantly change the basic drum sounds (as kick and snare) and then save in the style, without even entering the Style Edit mode. One may select from 7 levels of drum accompaniment (from softest to richest), and you may also select the kick and snare sound, from many.
2. In PLAY mode, you can access a window ("Mixer Tuning") where foe each track (Chords, Pad, Phrase, ecc.) you may change the octave (-3 +3), then save in the style, without even entering the Style Edit mode. This is specifically convenient for the Pad track, but also for Guitars and Pianos tracks.
3. In Style EDIT mode you may COPY/erase not only single parts of a style (as it is in Genos Assembly function), but also full variations (all tracks together), or else a single track in all variations. This can be done within the same style or from another style, at your choice.
4. In Style EDIT mode, you may modify (both in real time or step by step) not just the Drum and Percussion tracks, but any other track (Bass, Chords, Pad, Phrase, ecc.), without having to start from scratch (as it is in Genos, where you waste the factory programmed accompaniment of that track that you would partially modify).
These few features increase enormously the style editing productivity and time, with obvious consequences on your creativity. I KNOW that there are computer software to do it. But any feature/function allocated in the keyboard makes things much easier and fast.
