These styles are ok if you are living in the 1960s and 1970s, but my goodness they are seriously cheesy and dated. I was hoping the Genos 2 would offer more contemporary styles and at its price MUCH more believable samples which to my ears sound also very cheesy. I know they are different kinds of machines but my modest MODX 6 is WAY ahead on sounds and potential for much more creative work. You just need to prepare performances or use a DAW.

One little hickup here for those that have gotten their Genos 2... Anyone other than me that is annoyed with the popup window when using Direct Access ? been so focused on playing the thing that I havn't found out if I can make this stop appearing every time

Yamaha has been carrying the same styles for possibly more than 10 years! They just add 10 different ones, improve the audio and that's it... I don't see that it has anything different from Tyros... they were able to do something great from the Genos... and that's how we will see the Genos 40 with more lights and 10 different styles🙄

Another great demo Leigh. those steel Drums are so fabolous good. A little hint for playing these. If you have trouble making the fast alterations often used with steel drums, the harmony function is actually extremely help full here 🥰

Thanks, Leigh - love these Latin styles! Punchy, tight rhythms sound great. Special mention to those heavenly Bossas - white sandy beaches, coconut palms, and warm sunshine all the way; the perfect remedy to these dreary winter days here in the UK. Would love to hear you play extended versions of some of those slower, languid Bossas you demoed. Also, I'm constantly impressed by your repertoire. Looking forward to Part Two!

Great job! Got a request, how about 80's pop and 80's - 90's rock!

Hello on the Genos 2 can you get with a USB some of the styles from Genos 2 to Genos1? I have the Genos 1

What type of 1. mix-mixer 2. Program 3. Effekt did you recorded this Latin Style or your Videos? Sounds great. Thank you very much.

Thanks that was great

I was the one who asked you for this video, thank you very much! I will watch the full videos!

Beautiful Latin Styles and as always played so meticulously by Leigh .... Great job as always 😃

Hi Leigh, the Latin styles sound wonderful, will look forward to part 2. Cheers!

Trop cool, plus je l’écoute ce G2 plus je suis pressé de vendre mon G1 ! Et merci l’Artiste ❤❤❤À la prochaine vidéo !

Oh wow your idea at

I love all your wonderful videos! In the future how about maybe a video on the sometimes overlooked Ballroom styles such as specifically Big Band Swing, Fast, Medium & Slow Big Bands, even Big Band Jazz and especially Big Band Ballads. Also their jazz counterparts like the various Jazz Swing and the Jazz Ballad styles? Maybe they feature some with brushes and some without? You get the general idea I'm trying to convey. If you want and if you have time. Many kind thanks in advance.

These Mariachi brasses sound unearthly good. Biiig improvement.

Fab demos Leigh,I am leaning to take the leap from my Genos. I also have Yamaha pro studio

Wow! In my next life Leigh I want to be able to play like you. I am hoping to hear the Jazz and Easy Listening styles someday.

Leigh, again, thank you for very much for the detailed demo and commentary. You didn't do the commentary on the Oldies until later on, and honestly, I missed it. I like listening to your thoughts.
