Is it...... Is it....... Genos 2

No, it's not Genos 2, but Genos (1) with the Yamaha Genos 2.0 OS Update.

Thought it was too good to be true......

Not to be a wise guy, but the date on the video says "Three years ago..."

Yamaha's numbering could (does) confuse people -- pj

Besides improving a few already used features, what can Yamaha possibly do to make the Genos better? It's a great keyboard. I say this all the time, but they always manage to improve them somehow. Over the years I have had a Tyros 1,2,4,5, and now the Genos. I skipped 3 because I didn't feel they made enough changes to make it worth the money. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

First off, they could make Voice Guide into an actual screen reader. I'm a PSR-SX900 owner, and while I am pleased with the fact that Yamaha has put some effort into accessibility for blind people like me, it's still not enough. Because it's just wav files, Voice Guide won't read the voices or styles in expansion packs. There are also a bunch of menus that I can't use, even with Voice Guide enabled, such as the Bluetooth menu and the effects area.

Plus, they could add an option to make Voice Guide output to only headphones . I know they have an option to have it output to the keyboard speaker only, but that still means others can hear the voice when I play using the speakers.
