Thank you for your review @Bachus (and other reviewers too ).
Could you (or anyone else) clarify more about this quoted item:
For me the Synths are an important isue in a keyboard (for EDM).
@Bachus, do you mean that the existing (preset) Synthsounds are not satisfing you? Could they be improved by the user or by third-party venues? What I want to know if those new DSP's could be used to improved a particular synthsound to ones need? Then save it for future use? Or is it technical not possible within the Genos?
I know that it is possible in various ways to get better/customed synths, but I just want to have it in 1 (one) keyboard.
I'm not interested in other keyboard brands/vst's etc. Just asking to clarify your statement, as I'm not knowing the Genos, but heavenly considering to obtain one
Thanks in advance.
Its just personal preference i guess
I never liked the yamaha analogueish synth sounds
(Except for the cs80 series, but the those where really authentic)
(And offcourse the dx and vl synths)
In general yamaha sounds very warm..
Thats what i really like about yamaha
But synths sometimes need to be crispy harsh and dynamic
Personally i think yamaha sticks to much to the warm side of the spectrum.
And not just with Genos but will their AWM synths..
Offcourse, you can do quite some edditing
To edit them and make them more your own..
Or even load a whole bunch of samples in the expansion memmory..
Another thing id lfo’s..
The awm2 has 3 lfo’s..
In Genos You can’t assign them freely
They are typically assigned to pitch, amplitude and filter
They are used to create vibrato tremmolo and wah..
For more advanced synth sounds
You would like to assign them to other parameters
Like pan, attack or a delay
Making synth sounds much more dynamic in nature.
And then there are the filters..
I don’t think any other synth engine has as many options as the awm2
But the filter quallity is in my book average at best..
And filter performance is one of the most important things for EDM..
Many of the wellknown effects we know in todays EDM are created by manipulating filter cutoff and resonance..
But then, in the end, Genos is not a synth..
Its an arranger.. and the soundengine is created for o so many more sounds then just synths..
