Man O Man... this Machine can prodruce teardrops by playing the right stuff...very very good demo, Sir !!! Thank You! Cheers, and all the best! Frank

Really nice demo, fantastic sounds and wonderful playing👍

What I see ... A genuine artist! Awsome job!!!

Dear LORD!!!! This machine is a work of ART!!!!. BTW 10 thumbs up for the musician who is demontrating this amazing instrument.

The guitar sounds on that machine sounds amazing.

Very good demo. I'm intrigued.

I have not ever looked seriously at Yamaha...until now...looks like a great Product....!!!!

Thank you so much. Great and clear demonstrations.

Incredible performance

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE......

Excellent way to describe geno I love it

Great demo Guy really knows what most keyboard player wants❤👍👏👏👏

4:55 guitar style demo sounds really authentic. Yamaha rocks on arpeggiators.

Wow you are a piano master !!! The keyboard is amazing... but you are awesome !!! Regards from Ecuador !

The Genos sounds amazing.

Terrific musicianship, thank you for this great video on a great keyboard. Your 'comping' during the swing (8:45), one chord per beat, is amazing! May I ask a question about the "chord loop" function? 20 years ago I used this function constantly on my Roland E-86 (made in 1994), to play or create the underlying chord progressions (often spontaneously), and then use two hands to play solos (LH on the modulation wheel or pitch bend, RH play saxophone or whatever); or, in a live setting, while leading worship I could establish a chord progression, and then physically depart from behind the keyboard, walk out to the front of the stage, and sing and lead the people in worship WHILE the E-86 kept playing the progression - and then after a while, go back behind the keyboard and seamlessly pick up in midstream (to play reharms or go into the chorus or B-section, etc). It was wonderful! Fast-forward 25 years, and now I use a Tyros 5, and it's a great keyboard, BUT sadly it doesn't allow for either of these powerful and useful functions. My Left Hand is forever trapped having to play the chord progressions, with only spits and spurts darting over the left to adjust the mod or pitchbend wheels, and always having to zip back to play the new chord on the down-beat (which is often the very moment when mod or pitchbending is most needed in an effective solo). And another thing: with the Tyros, my body is physically trapped behind the keyboard. I can't depart from behind the Tyros to get more physically present to lead or exhort the people. Alas, how I miss the arranger loop function! (I'm much less effective as a live performer without it.) So I'm very excited to see that the Genos 2 has the arranger loop!! Way to go Yamaha! So now.... I wonder: since this appears to be primarily a software update (and not a hardware feature that requires a separate set of buttons, like on the E86) ... could this feature possibly be programmed into an updated firmware or software version for the Tyros 5? Does anyone have any idea? I don't really want to leave my Tyros 5 yet, it's still an awesome keyboard; plus, the learning curve to learn the Genos is as much a deterrent as is the price to upgrade from the Tyros. So hopefully Yamaha will see fit to program this arranger loop function into the Tyros software or firmware, and not force us who REALLY need this feature, to buy a Genos2. Would love to hear from you or anyone who knows, about this. Thanks. Keep up with the awesome music!

Amazing piano, amazing video

Excellent instrument. Gamble hit the nail on the head. This instrument can do it all, but it still comes down to 1) can you play, 2) can you write music and 3) will you spend the time to fully learn the full instrument. I've heard people with the Korg Kronos not sound too good because they were not good piano players. Yet I've heard someone use an old portable cheap keyboard and make it sound great.

Amazing keyboard and amazing keyboard player

I didn't realize that workstation / arranger keyboards had gotten so incredibly good. Now I want one!

Nice demo!!!!

Amazing keyboard,i really enjoy when play with my Genos.

I love this keyboard.. Love YAMAHA

É uma banda de alto nível completa

Wow! So good !

Good sound the sound produced sounds good. thanks

I really love this Keyboard

8:42 Damn man you know how to swing !! :) I'm transcribing that solo right now !

Sounds great, one of the best keyboards..

Unless I missed it, can I record a full song on the instrument and download/transfer to mastering deck, CD ?

Awesome keyboard that can function many ways.

This demo by Martin Harris is the best one by far. I take my hat off to you!

For each instrument that we select we always need to configure the sliders in the left top panel manually? these sliders move automatic using the touch screen to control it?

Great demonstrator!

Finally got my hands on one to play and considering the price tag and my demo time with both the Korg Pa4X and Roland FA series, I was underwhelmed. The sounds are good, but honestly they're good on all of them. Yamaha added quite a big jump in the number of Mega Voices, Super Articulation voices, and Super Articulation 2 voices -- a bigger increase than we've seen with previous Tyros-to-Tyros upgrades, yet does it sound significantly better than the others, the answer is subjective to each person, but polling 17 different keyboard players during a blind test, none of them were able to correctly identify the Yamaha sounds as better when played over 4 different songs . The first things to jump out at me were the lack of intuitiveness and layout. It seemed counter-intuitive to find and do things in a live setting. The features seemed more geared to a studio than a live setting. Secondly, they market this as a workstation, yet it s has no daw integration at all, no real onboard sound editing features, only a few basic parameters, no audio over USB - The Tyros 5, Yamaha's top-of-the-line arranger keyboard did not have a built-in USB audio interface. The Genos doesn't either, baffling to me, and there is no pattern sequencer, also if you are looking at the sequencer on this, you'll find some disappointment in its limitations. To be honest, if I was gonna get something, price would come into play (as it always does). I would probably go with a PA4X. Why? It seems better built, is more compact (you could comfortably use it as a top tier in a two-board setup for function work), is sonically at least the equal of the Genos and it is just far more tweakable which is abundantly obvious if you compare them head on, and the price is $1500 less. If I truly wanted and had to have a workstation, the Roland FA series for the price is great value or simply get the Kronos if you want to spend more which is an amazing machine. I really hoped Yamaha had a good thing here with the huge let down of the Tyros 5 and the one sided aspect of the Montage. It turns out to me the Genos is just another arranger all too similar to the Tyros 5 for tastes.

I now have this keyboard and it really is epic! I need this guy to come and visit me and walk me through how he does all this stuff - Post Covid! Ha ha - What a dude! Only wish I could play it like this guy. I have the three manuals that can be bought for Genos but it would be great if Guitar Guitar could do some online tutorials to show these demos in more detail.

Very nice! Thanks

Hi mr. Harris, can you tell me the name of that 60's song you playng on the minute 8? Thanks

It's interesting that they use Korg's joystick on this keyboard, leaving behind their two wheels PB and modulator. But I would add one more modulation free run wheel to this joystick, and that would be top notch set up.

Bellissima ! ❤

Can you midi floor pedals to activate the different styles while playing guitar ? Thanks

Fantastic

sounds like beast. its epic

Dear Santa, I've been very good this year...!

Truly, I suggested Roland Corporation innovate/initiate a 76-Key Arranger Workstation before they produce FA-06/07/08. Any way Yamaha outpassed them. Good Instrument, I like this Genos even I am an ardent ROLAND fan. ( I have Roland GW-8 and FA 06 right now).

cor you got me at 3.45 in. really nice that

I wasn't planning on buying a new keyboard anytime soon. But after watching this, hmm. Damn you Yamaha 😄😝

amazing

227/5000 Thank you, dear Martin. Good presentation. I have not yet known some menus. Have read the manual even very little, although I have the Workstaion equal to 2 years. Greetings from Görlywood in Germany :)

This guys has got talent...

Very nice demo covering a lot of ground with good playing...impressive keyboard.

Wow wow very very good YAMAHA GENOS

Hey , what do you think of the yamaha Genos? I am thinking about either getting the prophet x or the Genos.

ive been waiting for years for this model

The overlay feature is nice, not sure you can do that on the others

the perfect thing to own for the modern weather channel music composer...

hi, is it possible to record audio track and midi track together?

This keyboard would be good for Euro electronic music. Of course I am sure it can do other things, but most of the demos show these types of sounds/accompaniments. The piano and nine faders are nice.

Does it have a built in vocoder so you can map your voice to they keys?

Does it have loaded key action? You didn't say. Amazing instrument.

Brutal Ballad Style :)

Great keyboard!!!!!!!!

Os Rhitimos e timbres são dê fábrica?

I want it!

Big fan of Martin Harris, back in the day of the Yamaha electone festivals

Nice after touch effects

Hello Martin I was wondering which of the keyboards lets you sing into a mic and can change your voice to someone else-saw a demo about 20 years ago where it changed a man's voice to Tina Turner it was amazing

Amazing korg

Hey can someone please tell me the song name played at 10:47.. thanks in advance.

How the 4 cable connection to mixer like korg px5 ?

Muito bom

THE BEST SOUNDS OF PIANO!!!

it must be amazing when you know how to play piano like this man i would make all kinds of music

Great

The Tyros keyboards always had the best sound quality by far of any keyboard I've ever heard. Kronos, Jupiter 80, montage, rd2000, none of those even come close. But for 6000 bucks, you can only get these with a synth action keybed?

The voice engine was also used in the CVP-800 series and the PSR-SX series.

Is Yamaha mox6 still available??

Mixing the styles and time signatures.

Question: I have experience with both low-end and high-end keyboards and have discovered--to my absolute horror--that some high-end instruments (in particular, from a well-known name that shall go unmentioned) actually do not have the ability to allow a SOUND THAT SUSTAINS (such as violin) to DECAY when a key is RELEASED WITH the sustain pedal DEPRESSED. So, I must explicitly ask: Does Genos have this ability? I didn't hear any strings decay in Martin's presentation of a string sound near the end, so I'm a little concerned. It so happens that this ability is EMINENTLY USEFUL for realistic performances of sustaining sounds.

How many range of this piano

Super

does it have FMX engine?

Bontempi amélioré :))

I still have motif XS and I don't know if or with what to upgrade

The song frn 12:25?? Anyone ?? Thank u

This is a great looking keyboard workstation, but I am so grateful music sound industry has change in the favor of implementation of computer producing. What I mean, "overprice is a understatement". It should be "outrageous price!" for this unit but I am not surprised by the price, it Yamaha. For my many years of being music producer, Yamaha, Tascam, and Roland have been doing this same price scheme for over the years. Not only that, selling units with no upfront pc connect but you have to buy an additional slot unit to transfer your music. Then after buying the unit for thousands of $$, the company offers an sound update for $$$$ after you spent $$$$ for the unit. And to top that off, when the unit become discontinued, (and it will be soon) they do not provide any software updates after you have spent $$$$. I know this is a business but I am so thankful for the change of music industry game. Companies like Yamaha choked the inspired but broke producers and also their sound library is customized to a particular type of genres style. I dare wouldn't buy this keyboard neither do I want it for free. It will hurt my workflow. This keyboard is designed for live performance not pre-production.

What is the background style at 03:24 and does it appear on other Yamaha keyboards?

Hot Dang that's a nice board Boss'

I didn't know you could change the colors of the LEDs and the color scheme of the display!

Oh man! Those chord changes at 8:45

Should I get this or the Montage?

What are you using for speakers, please?

Cual es el precio de yamaha geno

this or yamaha S-970?i cannot decide..(for me Roland still is my first choice)

Sad thing is I'm going to buy this and end up playing chopsticks on it because I definitely can't play it like this dude

Nice :)

Damn, PSR line got expensive

one man band machines. see them at weddings all the time. 2500k per gig they pay for them selves fast.

OMG that‘s it ！

I may buy this after 6 years...and used one
