I am obsessively checking for new info every day
Well put, this describes me as well.
Every day I check this "Genos - General" forum because I know, that if someone finds a leak about the Genos 2, it will definitely be posted here.
The other site I now check daily is the forum at yamahamusicians.com, especially the thread about the new Montage M. I have to wade through a lot of humbug posts in that thread, but there are little gems here and there.
I think the
four leaked photos of the Montage M are real. To put four buttons around the data entry wheel is a very smart move. Even though I have no intentions of buying a Montage M, that instrument might indicate possibilities that the Genos 2 might also have.
I also think
the leaked list of new products from the Yamaha Singapore registration site is real. This opinion is strengthened by the release of the cool finger drums, which were both in the list. So Genos 2 will arrive.
Soon we'll know for certain. In October the Montage M will officially be presented (source: Yamaha) and highly likely the Genos 2 will be presented in October/November (source: rumours on this forum, like the leaked list, the promotion videos being shot/edited, and the play schedule of Martin Harris and Peter Baartmans).
In the mean time, I am finishing my attic as soon as possible, to have time to play when the Genos 2 arrives...
