I'm seriously looking into buying a Yamaha arranger next year. If a Genos is too pricey I would settle for either a Tyros 2 or it's successors. But the Tyros 5 is still a fantastic keyboard. I would even be willing to maybe part exchange my PSR-295 as I hardly ever use it anymore.

@@LittleRichard1988 Hi there there are plenty of good quality’s second hand Yamahas and Korgs keyboards on sale for you to choose from and save money on eBay both the Yamaha tyros 5 and the korg kronus are very good quality indeed take a look at countrywide music and Allen’s music on eBay kind regards Richard

​@@richardford6235 I didn't buy one in the end partly because things didn't work out for me at work so therefore I can't afford to buy anything that's over a grand. But also I came to the conclusion that arranger keyboards are really intended for people who learn to play songs using the auto accompaniments rather than a tool for music production even though you can do midi sequencing on an arranger keyboard. But instead I used the money to buy a new computer as Cubase no longer runs properly on my old computer, to be honest I only really considered a Tyros keyboard as a hardware alternative to Halion 6 because I had some concern weather or not it would install properly on my new computer but I actually have Halion 7 which also includes FM Lab which is very similar to the FM synthesis on Montage and MODX. I also rebought a Roland SC-55 as an acquaintence had one many years ago but sold it way back in 1996. Before I resigned I did come very close to buying a Tyros 5. Last summer I was also very tempted to buy a black Tyros 4, maybe I should have played it safe and bought that but it's understandable why I didn't make a snap decision. But on the bright side I have managed to help other people make a better choice in buying the right type of keyboard appropriate to their needs even though I used to think otherwise.

Many thanks Tom!

Thought the same, £1800 to swap with my Tyros 5 for a Genos, too much for not much difference. . It spurred me on to spicing my T5 up ,so i bought a Sound Packs Epic strings download . Installed a 1G flash rom drive underneath it ,then the sound package in my T5 and now sounds like the strings demo in the video with Mantovani and the like. £140 all in .

@@MegaFred8888 Thanks Ian for your creative ideas! For someone willing to do a little research you can save money.

@@jerryspencer7916 thanks it still works great. Will be buying a psr sx 900 though !

I think the genos is buttons from what i can tell, so you should be able to get around that with the buttons. I am blind myself, didnt see or come across any touch screen

I completely agree! I absolutely love the Mantovani strings sound!

Yes, truly I also want to see the comparism...I am solo keyboard player using PA700..want to buy a better one..

Thank you Roland!

Thank you!

Hello Stein. Thank you very much for your comments. Yes, you can do all of these things using the Yamaha Genos with the Multi recording features, and you can use your CP4 as a Midi controller to access all of the sounds within the Genos across all 88 notes should you wish. For more details about how to do these things, check out the Genos Manual pdf on the Yamaha UK Website.

because theres better for cheaper

You want to become a millionaire just to buy a 5000$ keyboard? Are you for real? !!!!! .... It costs here in Egypt 95000 EGP. I should be the millionaire, not you. (duh!!)

Me too, why am i not a millionaire😭😭😭

You don’t have to. Just be a thousandierre.

23bobjr what and Where?

Hello There! You will be please to know that the sound you were using before you changed will continue to play when you have changed for as long as the keys or sustain pedal remain depressed, allowing for a seemless change between voices. It doesn't cut out.

@@bonnersmusic thank you so much for confirming! Coming from MOXF, I was contemplating both Genos and Montage, while also being aware of the MODX. Given that I'm not that much into the experimental side of FM synthesis I'm leaning heavily toward Genos now, thanks to you.

Agree 100 %... I'm an amateur home keyboard player (not much left hand other than up to 7th, 9th, 11th, accompanimenting). I have a 5 years-old Yamaha PSR E433 (entry level basic functionality) at home for personal entertainment. When I bought it, I thought anything better would be an overkill for my skills (actually for my budget ;-) when compared to DGX-650 at that moment ). And since than I was dreaming of having a better keyboard something like DGX-650, PSR-S950 (or now PSR-SX900), or even a Motif, Tyros etc., thinking that I would sound much better on those devices... Untill the Covid-19, I was just using mine for daily 20 minute relaxation moments, and not much improvement... But for the last few months I've spent my almost whole time on it, and I can see the daily improvement especially on learning new songs and functionalities of the keyboard, and as I play better (better songs and better fingering) it started to sound more and more professional with the same device... I have also seen that the keyboard already had some surprising features (such as a six-track sequencer - song recorder, and 8x4 register memory, style update through usb [which I thought was only found on pro-devices!] and auto arpeggio) that I didn't even notice for five years... And I must admit,recently I have seen another demo for one of the top notch keyboards, and some voices in it are almost identical to those in my entry level device... Of course there are great differences too, the pro devices has some killer realistic sounds and after touch effects, and if I could afford I would definitely buy one of those pro keyboards, but all I want to say is that, as you have said, a good player would definetely make a good sound out of any instrument, as it is the ART of playing what really matters at the end...

@@4thesakeofitname Well said keep up the practice. It was always the mantra of Mr Ray Charles Practice Practice Practice. That is the name of the game.

Not everyone likes modern music. I always liked music from the 60s and 70s even though I wasn't around in the 60s and 70 but some of the best music was recorded in the 60s and 70s and there will never be anyone as good as The Beatles.
