I played Genos in Hollywood Guitar center about 8 months ago.
Last night lo and behold Genos finally showed up at our local GC.
It seemed nicer to me than the one I saw 8 or 9 moths ago.
Has there been an update?
It was plugged into a cheap Roland amp with one solitary cable!
Price was close to 5500 US
I had heard from yamaha tech support, genos is more shall we say, "difficult" than the Tyros. Opinions on the OS learning curve compared to Tyros?
One of the strong reasons I upgraded from psr 900 to T4 was the volume sliders.. and that was the biggest disappointment in memory. Those short throw volume sliders cause highly unmusical jumps in volume no matter how you touch them.
On the other hand the Genos has LOOONG throw sliders... a huge improvement.
I intend to spend many hours on her shortly. It is about 5 miles from home.
Since I am going to continue my audition in the coming days... any suggestions on accessing sounds, styles, etc would be helpful. But just looking at the screen, it seems the new OS is more friendly , am I engaging in wishful thinking?
The last consideration that I am sure has been brought up... the comparison of the sounds of T4 to Genos.
I am under impression only the drums are superior enough to justify the purchase.
BTW, another reason is manufacturers tendency to not fully support parts of your board when they age a bit. That is a solid reason to update.
But back to the sound comparison. In your experience which sounds are truly noticeably better?
Thanks
