Hello everyone.
A happy belated new year to all of you, and hope that you've all had a good start of the year 2024!
I do apologise that I have not yet uploaded anything this year, and given the fact that we are now near the end of Feburary, but these last 5 or so weeks, I have been extremely busy working on many videos of the first keyboard I will be showcasing this year, and that is the new Yamaha Genos 2!
The Yamaha Genos 2 was launched on the 15th November last year, and I didn't get mine until the 23rd November which was just a little over a week after the keyboards launch date.
I have now sold my Genos 1 so I no longer have it, I also sold it with the speaker system in which I wished I hadn't since Genos 2 uses the same speaker system (GNS-MS01), but I got another pair of speakers about a month later when they were available.
This is going to be the biggest series of videos I have ever done on a single keyboard, I will be showing you absolutely everything on the Genos 2, and will probably be around 60 videos or more covering everything ranging from tutorials, sounds, multi pads, styles etc, this is something that I haven't done on the original Genos, I only did a couple of tutorial videos and showed all styles on Genos 1, but on Genos 2 I will be showing everything!
The sounds are absolutely amazing! I really like the new sounds features such as the FM synthesis engine which was at first on the Yamaha Montage synthesizers and has now made it into a modern home keyboard, you have all sorts of different FM sounds, and it also has some sound patches originated from the Yamaha DX7 from 1983 and they sound exactly as it would on a real DX7, but with reverb, chorus and DSP effects which was something the DX7 didn't have built in.
Another new sounds feature that I really like is the ambient drums, Genos 1 introduced revo drums, but after just 1 generation, they replaced revo drums with the new ambient drums, but revo drums are still built in sounds on Genos 2.
On the first video of the Yamaha Genos 2 keyboard, which will be the first of many more to come, I will be showing you the built in demonstration songs, before I show the demo songs, I will be showing you a quick unboxing video of myself unboxing the Yamaha Genos 2 on the day I first took it home, I forgot to mention about the unboxing video on the intro, so apologies for that, but have mentioned it after the intro when I realised I've forgotten about it.
I will be aiming to learn many new songs on Genos 2 to add to the Genos 2 video content, I have learned some songs so far, and aim to do many more in the future!
I hope you all enjoy the first video of the year, and the first video of a huge series!

Hey EB, a happy new year to you too, and it’s going to be an exciting series, there will be so many videos that when all the Genos 2 videos are eventually released, it will get me very close to the 900 videos milestone

Thank you so much and God Bless for all your efforts in the coming videos of this unit. Unfortunately machines such as this are miles out of my price bracket, so I truly appreciate you taking the time and effort to demonstrate every single attribute of the unit, so that I know exactly what it's capable of. Happy belated 2024 also by the way :-) Regards. Spatcher.

Thanks for watching!

A feature that i love of the arranger keyboard Yamaha Series (PSR-S & SX, Tyros and Genos), is, in the "Voice" select window, i can to have the "Pre--Hearing" function; selecting a voice and pressing or tapping the "Demo" button. Is just one of my favorite functions in these keyboard series since i started my first keyboard sessions in my Yamaha Music academy here in Bogotá, Colombia.... I should to travel to "Bonner's" to demonstrate you my skills over the keys. Thank you very much, Michael and i hope you enjoy some of my videos playing the PSR-SX900, for example... :)

I might be too late on this one, congratulations on your new main keyboard! I have to admit there's still a few fare things I don't yet know about the psr e473 but I now know how to use some of the cooler features like the motion effects, I've enjoyed changing how the styles sound, revoicing also works on user styles as well so now I've no need to look for the psr 520 especially since I have all those styles all ready, I have a gig coming up on the 10th of march which is so exciting because I was unable to do one last year, thankfully the yamaha psr e473 mega boost will reduce the need for too many cables as its pretty loud, what I do now is record accompaniments ahead of time with additional playing by myself to add atmosphere, that way I have the whole keyboard to myself, I've noticed that saving user songs is a lot quickeer, once I have fully mastered the sequencer I will start doing game sound track covers, I recently got the new super mario bros wonder game so I will do covers of that, its probably one of the best switch games I ever played, and yes, I was up all night on christmas day figuring out the ins and outs of the psr e473

Happy belated new year once again! I think it was well worth you selling the original Genos so you could buy your own Genos 2, it's better than just borrowing one not that the Genos 1 pails too much in comparison but it's not often Yamaha release a brand new flagship keyboard, with Tyros it varied usually with 2, 3 or 4 years between models but 6 years is quite a long time for Yamaha to produce the Genos 1. I was surprised at how lightweight the Yamaha Genos 2 appears to be, I know the Yamaha Tyros keyboards are quite heavy. The demo songs are incredible and I also like the the photos that accompany the demo songs, Country&Folk sounds similar to one of the the original Genos demonstrations songs.

This keyboard sure promise MEGA-FUN musically talking... This unboxing remembers me with nostalgia, when i received my PSR-S910 keyboard in 2012.... I miss a lots to play my instrument. Last september my keyboard begun to have its first failures and its repair is too expensive....

Happy new year wow The Genos 2 does look a great keyboard I’m still enjoying my new PSR-E373 so far and I must say it’s a great keyboard overall I liked the fact that it’s got a new sound chip and I recognise some of the voices on the PSR-E373 are from the Tyros range

Michael, I know that most of us would like a Genos 2 but I have a question for you……. Do you think that a second hand Genos 1 is still a good purchase for those of us who are not in a position to outlay for the the cost of Genos 2? Personally I think a fair priced Genos 1 would still be a good purchase for someone in that position but I would value your opinion. Thanks for your thoughts and I’m looking forward to this whole series on Genos 2.

@KeyboardKrazy49 5 ай бұрын

Hello again Simon, the Genos 1 keyboards are going very cheap now and it is still an absolutely fantastic keyboard! For those that would like a cheap second hand Genos will still get a lot of good functionalities and sounds, with the addition of more sounds with expansion packs completely free from the Yamaha site, I know Genos 2 is still quite steep in the price range, but Genos 1 is cheaper and you still get a lot of sounds and styles etc. At Bonners we are selling second hand Genos 1 keyboards at £2199 without speakers, and £2399 with speakers, I know it hasn’t been long since Genos 2 was launched, but we already have 1 second hand Genos 2 without speakers priced at £3399. Hope this helps you if you are thinking of getting one sometime :)

@Simon-us1fu 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the reply Michael and your thoughts on the subject. At the moment I am just thinking about it and I value your opinion as someone who has used both Genos and Genos2. I have been back and watched your videos on the Genos 1 to refresh my memory on it and I will continue to decide whether to upgrade from the SX600. Thanks again and happy playing .

In the styles videos, I’d rather stay with the styles names since there would be too much screen tapping and would take more time in the video if I did it like that, there is a default tempo shown on every style in the styles menu
