Ive had lots of emails and messages asking if Genos1 is now dead and history.. well, in this video I take a look at the Genos1 and see if it really is a instrument of the past or if it has still cuts the mustard when compared to other keyboards.

The genos 1 is a brilliant piece of kit, and usually very well looked after. If you're a home player it will serve you for many years. My music school has a PSR 3000 which still sounds amazing.

My sister has owned the Genos sine 2020 and I played it sever times ... I have the Yamaha Genos 2 and yes, the difference in both sounds and style are miles ahead. Thank you once again Leigh for your outstanding insight of this wonderful professional arrangement keyboard by Yamaha.

Excellent article. I was thinking of exchanging my Genos 1 for Genos 2 but I think I tend to 'jump the gun' when a new keyboard comes out [I was the same when a new organ came out]. Been playing since 1969, and this instrument is certainly the best I have ever owned. Your article has helped tremendously in saving me a couple of thousand pounds and sticking with Genos 1. Thanks for your honest opinions on this and all your previous articles.

Definitely worth it goes on and on and on. Not only the genos but the sx keyboards too. I enjoyed it.

Had my genos 1 just a couple months now. Epic!!!! Recording awsome assassin's creed type music on it. Love the orchestral sounds.

I struggled with this question for a while as a Genos 1 owner. Came to inescapable conclusion. Im not fed up of it by a long shot.

Great Video Mate, I have had some great Keyboards over the Last few Years, I really loved the Yamaha S910 What a Piece of kit that was, Tyros 4, loved that Keyboard to Bits, Now i Have An SX900, And A Yamaha 950, which is Still An Amazing keyboard, The slow strings on that With Reverb Is Just to die for, And The Lesley Organs are Fantastic. talking about Shadows Guitars, Well. The SX900 With Reverb Is Just like Hank Marvin is In the Room with you, So I am Nervous about chopping them in for A genos. Even though My friend That runs our Local Music shop Has Hinted to me to part Exchange Them, Don't get me wrong He Offered me a Dammed Good Price for them, I have had the strings From my Yam 950 Put on my SX900, Cause the strings Are a bit to Synth To be Honest. But The SX900 Is Still a Cracking Piece of Kit my friend. So i Might Just save up my Pennies For the Genos, Genos 2 Is a little out of my Reach Price wise, Anyway Great Video my friend,

The Genos 1 is the most powerful keyboard I ever owned I got it on purpose when the G2 came out the guy was in a bind he wanted to upgrade and I helped him so he gave me a great deal.

Love this chanel and all Leigh tutorials. Wonderful inspiration between 02:50 and 03:50. Incredible how few notes can be beautifull and melodious. If possible to know which song/style is it coming from ?

Hi Leigh i'm wondering what your speaker set up is as my Genos2 doesn,t sound anything like yours thx

@LeighWilbraham 3 ай бұрын

It’s down to the Eq settings

I have a Genos 1 in my home... I find the sound quality out of my high quality headphones is far, far superior to the sound from the Genos speaker set in my small room. Are you able to suggest better sound speaker options? ..... I don't need volume, rather improved quality of sound

Absolutely. Get a pair of Yamaha HS80. They are stunning

Hello! Great vid! I have a Genos 2 now (after having the 1)Where would I find the best EQ settings as so many websites differ? Also, does anyone know how to save a style into the playlist? TIA Happy keyboarding! 😊

How would you rate the sounds compared to the sx900 ?

@andrewnutton6043 3 ай бұрын

My question as well, bought sx900 in 2020 and thinking of upgrading.

The Genos uses the same AWM sound chip as the SX700/900. The Genos has more quality SA2 articulation voices and styles. I think the CPX Pianos sound more richer on the Genos but having owned an SX900 for a few years I cant let go of mine, although if I did go for a Genos then it would only be for the improved aftertouch keyboard and nothing else. I have many voice and CPX piano expansion packs on my SX900 that make it a real baby Genos.
