Genos2 / Re: New firmware 1.04 Genos2

« Last post by ugawoga on Today at 06:00:22 PM »

Hi Eileen
OTS is great to see where a sound is for the that Quality Genos can achieve A good guide line to make you adjust things on a sound that you want to make or a comparison for the best that is possible.

I have also noticed that the sliders are not totally responsive as you have to go up and down quite a lot sometimes to get the sliders to work. I agree with Andy B on the slider thing. As soon as you touch a slider it should respond. Hope it is not a pentium 4 thing!!

All the Best

The Next Yamaha Keyboard / Re: Why do we always want more?

« Last post by pjd on Today at 05:40:31 PM »

So... In YOUR view... What makes the perfect arranger?

Got it already -- Genos 1. It suits my needs.

1) Do I really need this?
2) And if so, do I really need this right now?

I'd add "3) Can I afford it?", "4) Where am I going to put it?" and "5) What else has to go out the door first?"

It does spoil the fun of coming onto this forum when all you get are people blinding you with all these requests.

People can expect all they want. Please ignore them for your own sake. 

Yep, there ain’t been anything worth opening up my wallet for yet.

The development of these instruments is definitely at the plateau phase.

Had an S950 like Drake. Good arranger. Mike is right. The mid- and upper-end arrangers are fine instruments. I would have given anything to have a Genos 1 in 1980...

Remember that as we get older it is important to keep our brains active, new products do this by giving us a challenge.

That's why I get into different aspects of music and music technology. Learning new software, making new styles, etc. are other ways to keep the mind active.

Peace to everyone -- pj

The most precious thing we all have is our brain, which controls everything we do.
I now suffer from Cerebellum  Ataxia. Cerebellum is at the back lower part of your brain and is responsible for you communicating with your limbs movement.

At 87 I'm not complaining and hopefully Peter Baartmans will have set up a music room by the time I get there.

Genos2 / Re: New firmware 1.04 Genos2

« Last post by EileenL on Today at 04:33:00 PM »

I don't see OTS settings as a fault. That is a matter of personal choice. I very rarely use them preferring to set my own voices and volumes into registration banks.

No real faults, then what do you call the joke of catch function on the sliders? It is a nightmare, you can't do a simple quick volume change on the fly like you could on the older keyboards. If Yamaha don't fix this abomination, then the Genos 2 is going back to the dealer, if they would take it back. Then there are the most stupid choices Yamaha have put in the OTS, for some of the styles no idea what idiot they had choosing them, some of the choices of instrument don't match the style used.

Tyros 5 (SFF2) / Re: Tyros 5 registrations problem

« Last post by KurtAgain on Today at 02:52:19 PM »

Hi Dave,
This message is displayed because at some point you have changed one of the registrations in the registration bank currently loaded in the keyboard.

You now have the following options:

Yes:
The changed Registration Bank is saved. You can freely choose the storage location, i.e. you do not have to overwrite the unchanged registration bank.

No:
The changes are discarded.

Cancel:
You've already done that and you know what happens: The changes aren't saved, but you also can't load another registration bank until you choose Yes or No.

The safest option would be to choose Yes, but choose a new location or a changed file name.

Kurt

I like what somebody said earlier this year about their first impressions of their Genos 2
' They didn't play better BUT they sounded better'
I have had all the Tyros models and now a Genos  and the only one I regretted buying was the Tyros 3 as I thought it was half baked after the T2
So I agree with folks saying its a new toy and it revitalizes the interest without making you a better player
I have only had my Genos for 3 years so still very much in love with it
I expect i will be a Genos 2 owner in a couple of years too
