Not a bad thing to ask for new features but doing it all the time and claiming that a model is bad or doesn't worth it's money because it doesn't have features that someone is asking for,although it could,sometimes make other users wonder why the Genos is not one of the best of it's kind and deserves such a bad criticism?
From my point of view there is never going to be a GenosvoicesPax4liveTyros5colourPhantomsoundsMonta

for lots of reasons.
Babette if you want to make the most extraordinary composition or cover or remix or whatever in a DAW, all you need is a mouse and the pc's keyboard.
Everything else (the notes,the sounds,the effects) is in your DAW.
A cheap midi keyboard or an expensive synthesizer is just optional to save you some time.
Some keyboardists feel that Yamaha overestimated and overpriced the Genos.
But let me ask you one thing?
After watching the video demonstration of Genos, after playing with it in a music store, after reading it's manual with it's "old" and "new" features you still have decided to buy it for some reasons.
Most of you have had already a Tyros or a PSR,so to understand what Genos can do or if it sounds better or not or whatever, should be pretty obvious to you.
So, better not to forget what those reasons were and not to forget that you had just 3 top models to choose from.
None of them had or has and unfortunately will never have all the features that we want....
Yamaha on the other hand must provide to Genos users better support (constant updates with improvements and new features? new features for live playing were those are necessary to be added? free packs? free styles? free midis?) as long as the Genos had,still has and will always have things that should be working correctly.(Is there a software without some "bad" digits of 0 and 1?
No Way!!!)
