Peter Baartmans presentations are great, the only thing I have to say about this video in particular is to the editor of this video, YOU HAVE CLEARED THE SOUND!!! Peter fantastic as always and Genos an incredible keyboard !!!!!
Bravo Peter Baartmans you are one of the best youtube keyboard players its always fun to listen to Your playing i have the poor man's genos the psr 970
Yamaha Genos ben ik geen fan van. Maar Peter Baardmans.. Onomstotelijk in 1 woord met Yamaha genoemd. En met recht. Al 35 jaar geleden genoot ik van zijn demonstrates. Toppie Peter.
GO NOW TO 20.38 now I'm not a huge fan of this guys mannerisms and way on stage, but at least he's not boring, just seems a little Ott, maybe its just he's way and what's needed to demo, but the feeling he puts in to that latin track and the synth lead after is amazing, showing this guy is a class player.
Estate at 21:00, a classic latin jazz. Mr. BaArtsman is high-end. One great thing about yamaha is demos of peter baartsman. The company should promote him To be vice president on sales 🗽🎆🌠
Doint like the shapes some of these new keyboards there hard to put on some keyboard stands I had this problem whin I bought my yamaha moxf6 I use a on stage A frame stand and could not put it in the middle becuse it would just slide off I like the GENOS but looks like a surfboard.
Amazing keyboard but even more amazing is Peter, this man has unreal keyboard skills. I love the Yamaha but I’m really impressed by Peter’s keyboard skill. 👍👍
Carlos Maldonado , obviously Peter is a trained pianist/keyboardist. He is there to show all of the functions of the keyboard at hand. I don’t think they would expect someone without piano or keyboard or music background to start off with that particular instrument. Show off, I don’t think so. Peter is just really good at his job and knows what the instrument can do. I guess that’s why he was hired. I hope you’ve ordered yours.😳🙄😁
Yamaha should lift up the display screen back as Tyros series to bring the real beauty of Genos and worth of price what you pay (almost $7000 Canadian) it will be very visible display for the player to enjoy that what he press in because of Touch screen some time you don't know what you pressing also adding Indian Expansions packs too. If Yamaha does not care may be Korg P4 series is an option for price and some voices very realistic in KORG but Yamaha you may feel that you are with instruments room
Just imagine one of these things, with another full keyboard (or two!) and a full pedal board (25/30), all housed in fantastic stage cabinet. What a shame Yamaha abandoned the home/stage performance organist. Still miss my HX1. I agree with the comments on the sound mix, which almost ruins a great demo.
Problem is its such a small nische of buyers that would buy a console organ today, they wouldn't make money on it. Yamaha abandoned 76key arranger boards for almost 2 decades, because of the financial disaster with the P9000Pro wich came a year after the P9000 and noone baught it (except a select few - myself included) that really wanted the 76key version for Piano style. And because of tha failure with the P9000Pro launch and the money they lost on it, it took until Tyros 5 before they dared put a 76key version on the market again. Look at what a Wersi cost today... Totally hillarious price for what it does. In Denmark an OAX 700 cost as much as starting Price of a Mercedes or Audi A6 .. totally nutters. And the reason they are so expensive is not the features .. its because they have to be so expensive for the company to make any money on it. Its a very small club of people who has the money to buy them, and 80% of those that has the money only have them because they can afford the showoff it is to have a big console organ at home. They can't even play very well.
You could build a custom case, put the Genos on top and add a Fatar keybed, eg a Piano 88key as lower manual and buy a Midi Pedal board, tho a 25/30key Viscount pedal board is also kinda pricey. But It would still be around 1/4th - 1/5th of what eg an OAX700 would cost you, and honestly .. Yamaha does about 80% of its sound and features far better than a Wersi imho. But the HX1 can't really be missed .. at that point Yamaha had already lost the touch of making purdy Organs.. :( The FX-20 is the last well sounding an pretty Console organ they made. AR100 also both sounded well and looked good, but its not a real Console organ. These Organs did sound so nice and was kind of the last that had a good organ sound. the later HS, EL models had better sampled voices, but the FS/FX series is still far superior imo :) Low sound quality recording but hose that remember these instruments know how well they actually sounded :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DaVPcs4nuwY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rIvtZXBxw54.html
mrdali67 Thanks for your responses. After my HX1 I moved to the AT100, sounds were better but it never matched the playability of the HX1. When it came time to upgrade Yamaha had abandoned the market. I was encouraged to cobble something together with Tyros, a stand and a pedalboard. I thought at the time, and still do really, that Tyros looked like a toy, although the sounds and styles were excellent. I liked the Roland AT90S but it felt a bit outdated. Just at that time the AT900 came out, this appeared to meet all my needs. I bought the 900C. I still have it. The quality of sounds and styles in the Genos and Korg4ax interests me of course but I am quite happy with AT900C really. I can improve my playing a lot more without any further upgrade in equipment, although all the new facilities for rhythm, styles, accompaniment, sample voices, voice accompaniment, including using my own (and in tune!), are very attractive. The Wersi solution, and Böhm before, seems perfect, but the price is ridiculous. It is nice to see and listen to but way beyond any normal home organist. I’ll just stick with what I have for now and continue to improve my playing and repertoire.
I think its more important to use an instrument (or instruments) that inspires you and that you like to play than focusing on tech only. There is a fair amount of old Organ models that is simply amazing to play, no matter they are outdated tech and soundwise. I still wish I hadn't sold my FS-70 wich is the best organ I have ever had. But my problem was at that time we didn't have the internet and there were no midi in th FS-FX models. Today it propably wouldn't be a problem to outfit it with a scannerboard, and the FS-70 was around 125kg so kinda heavy to drag around. Remember starting out with a PSR6300 and a used DW8000 for gigs and the PSR6300 really was a toy only and were fast dished for a better Roland E-series
Today I am still using my old P9000Pro .. yeah the Tyros line sounds better, I never upgraded it because I really thaought the first T 1-3 wasn't really a big upgrade from the P9000. the base samplings were still the same with the added Mega voices. Recently added a Mojo61 and that has really made me want to buy a full size midi pedalboard for home use, but eg. the viscount 25/30 key models cost more than even a 2 manual Mojo, so kinda looking for a cheap pedalboard from a scrapped organ and make a DYI midi interface. I really dig the Mojo61. has a nice keybed and beside the vb3 organ has some great Rhodes, Wurly and Clavi sounds
Reminds me of the late 80's 'flagship' arranger workstations psr6700/PSR5700. They had a sImilar outlook - at first sight pretty impressive ;-loads of real-time controls and faders , unique play techniques (Multi layer/split/dual voicing , InteractiveAuto styles, etc), leading sound engine synthesis (AWM2) but then inexplicable defficiencies elsewhere: e.g. for even then, limited recording and other functionalities (8 track sequencer, rudimentary MIDI, for instance) ,and on a big $3k (then) instrument! The psr 6700 especially had that ability to be superlative (orchestral,brass,string palletes, synths) and maddening at the same time (tiny, low-end sounding drum sounds.. as some rather rubbish samples here on the GENOS!!). A sample of t`he PSR6700 is here (soundcloud.com/jsmawejje_jossjjew/somewhere-in-scotland ), but once you got the hang of working them , they turned into truly quality instruments. They still are in a super weird way (check ebay prices). I would actually see the Genos team possibly referenced them or aimed to emulate that DNA/ line of concept, - in a nut-shell like a unique cross between a professional and domestic level instrument.
What a pity,that a $5,500 keyboard is marketed as a workstation(yet has the same shit-ass performance recorder as the PSR-S670.)The Genos's recording functions are garbage(no multiple insert effects for the tracks,no pattern recording & no copy & paste function.)The very limited recording functions on the Genos,is merely a sketch pad for laying down ideas.What is the friggin' point of having any sort of recording at all?Surely...for $5,500...the Genos comes with Cubase...doesn't it?
I didn't know what you meant by oversaturated then I listened to the video. Peter Baartman is a brilliant pianist/keyboardist and I'm very surprised he did hear it and turn down the volume knob. BTW Philo a Genos where I live Nova Scotia costs over $7,000 plus 15% tax. One thing I am lucky with, when I get a Genos, I am not interested in recording anything.
@@uservinc thanks, yes I saw it too. However Fragile sounds different when played by Sting. He is using his chords but a different arrangement. Never mind, thanks
YAMAHA Master Product and Top of the Line Instrument by all measures. However; hope that Yamaha makes GENOS Oriental, Five Octaves with all the standard Arabic Oriental Styles and Instruments Sounds, plus a Quarter Tone Scale built on the Dash Board itself but not on the LCD Screen.
Great playing, great video, but fire whoever was in charge of the sound as they clearly don't have any idea how to record something like this. Completely ruined by the distorted sound. Shame....
