You always get the latest synths...wow I'm looking forward to the MODX7+m

Can you show us how easy it is to change 10 registrations on the Korg vs 10 registrations on the Yamaha

I have both the Genos 1 and the Pa5x; You are very correct on the Korg; it is more contemporary, the styles are more punch and have a better groove than the Genos. The settings and menu's are deeper, the Chord sequencer on the Korg is Much much better with a single button access with a database of chord progressions which can be activated on ANY song. The vocal harmonizer is better with better controls both tactile and menu selected; the organ section on the Korg is MILES better than the Yammy; they use COSM modeling with many more customizable settings; they are much more realistic. I do like the registrations on the Genos better, however the Korg Songbook is much more elaborate and the setlist function is much better as well. You can save a songbook entry with a single button press!!! Some of the sounds on the Genos are better and some of the sounds on the Korg a better including the pianos, strings, and Synth. Genos has better Sax, Brass, and Electronic Keyboards. I do agree having both keyboards is the best of both worlds and they do really complement each other; but if I had to pick one it has to be the Korg; Its built like a tank and its more up to date.

Amazing review!

Is it possible to export track outs from these keyboards? For example i want to buy a oriental middle eastern set usb. Track out a 4-8 bar turkish drum set, use it in my daw on a different project. Korg users have told me its not possible, and that id have to record each sound of the set separately then combine them, or as 1 full mp3 file.

The Genos may sound a little better than the factory sounds, but the samples and styles allow you to get some amazing sounds and styles on the Pa5x. Genos 2 no sampler!

The Genos 2 does have digital out only it's now called line out

I need help with this. Our church needs an arranger for some of the songs we sing. Can you please advice which one we should purchase? Genos 2 or pa5x?

Hi, How does the keybed of the P5x feel compare to the RH3 found on the Nautilus (also on Kronos, SV2 and D1)? Thx.

It's disappointing that the Pa5X didn't evolve over the KRONOS after 12 years. The pianos are half the velocities levels and have less use controls. I have to keep the KRONOS because of issues like this.

One others thing, KORG PA4X and PA5X have a different pattern and sound appropriately if you started with minor and major chords on the long intro. I do hope you'll hear the differences on GENOS and PA5X. Cuz PA5X has different pattern for each style . I'm very curious.🎹👍

Can genos 2 and pa5x operated with buttons ( without touch screen)? Thank you

I have both. They are different, that's all. One is not better than the other. But if I can only keep one it would definitely be the Genos. I certainly find the Genos keyboard much more pleasant and easier to play than that of Korg.

thank you.

I stay with my Korg pa5x 76 and Nautilus 88...i am very thankful 🤗....Yamaha sounds great too...BMW or Mercedes, both are amazing , everyone in own ways 🤗

Thanks.

I'f I'd buy the korg, would it be spossible to download and convert somehow some of the styles of the genos for the Pa-5? I love the desert adventure style and of course the articulations ofsome sounds. Thanks for this vid.

Great one..

Thanks, Synth S for this informative video. I'm currently thinking of switching to Montage 8 and now checking through Montage features to be sure it matches my style of stage performance. I have some questions about the Yamaha Montage: 1. Is it possible to create custom styles or rhythms that can be used in the accompaniment (Yamaha Montage)? 2. Is it possible to create an acoustic guitar strumming pattern in one of the tracks of a style/rhythm (Yamaha Montage)? 3. Which of those arranger keyboards (Korg Pa5x or Yamaha Genos) would you recommend for a one-man stage performance that the sound could be more realistic (close to live instrument sound)? Thank you once again, looking forward to your answers

I have the Korg Pa5X coming from the Yamaha Genos and there is so much more you can do with the Korg. It's a matter of what you want to do. Just play with some basic editing the Yamaha Genos is great. Do you want deep editing and create your own sounds, the Korg Pa5X is the choice for you.

Korg Pa5X has a Guitar input with four dedicated effects, besides a vocal input!!

Hello, my personal opinion is Pa series have evolved so much it is time to have as part of this expensive and great instrument a dedicated professional 8 - 16 tract audio recorder to which can sync with the accompaniments with editing functions to be able to do good studio grade recording? Is it not time?

You can see and follow the chords progression and length of each long intro, it's like a chords sequence in KORG PA5X, you can play with the intro , awesome isn't it?? Press the 2X each intro or break etc, you play as long as you 👍 👌 💛 like, interested

Hope compare also with ketron event and Korg Kronos for sounds. I think Yamaha should make a small Genos with 61 keys for carrying and an horizontale pitch band and quarter scale for oriental musicians.

The UI/Workflow is thousand times more intuitive for me on tyros/genos. I gave up completely on korg after my first tyros. (for me) menu system on korg instruments are a huge p.i.t.a....but I realized that only after trying out the other side :D So I will buy the Genos2. Its new FM(DX7) part is huge addon as well... Sounds: both sounds ridiculously good both have its advantages in some sound categories.... Plastic? Really an issue? Hmm dunno, never had any issues with pastic cases (except the t2 where the silver paint was wear off) but for me metal case is only a 10 kg extra weight. If you want to use it as a weapon (in close comnbat) it surely helps. :D In all other cases it just dead weight.

Really nice breakdown of the similarities, differences, and overall comparisons between these two beasts. Thank you!

Can you design your own new sounds and styles with Korg PA5X? The Genos is a preset box, due its arranger design, and has less sound design capability than say MOntage.

Imagine if I have the cash to buy both! That would be my best dream ever before waking up for work.

Thank you for your honest review. I think for stage we should have korg pa5x for rhythm and Yamaha montage M for sounds together. Thats best couple of two worlds of arranger and workstation. What is your idea? You play Persian music in your videos. That’s best professional and honest review that I saw in all youtube channel from around world. Even I watched videos from USA 🇺🇸 and England and Germany 🇩🇪 and Spain 🇪🇸. That’s best video.😊

imho I think the Genos2 is 'over-hyped'. You wait some 6 years and this is what they come up to? Had expected much more. It is not that material was hard to find or to produce, so what's really the catch? R&D had to deliver on (delayed) time?! Meh.... Same as all electronic devices nowadays.

You didn’t talk about the SAMPLER of the Korg Pa5x. I don’t know if the Yamaha has a built in sampler ? Also the 6 outputs of the Korg. Also the built in software that converts other styles on Korg.

Do the pa5x has any problems?

No SSS and a cheap plastic build is why I'm going to try the PA5x. Real studio quality needs to look like the Korg. I've had Yamaha for years and I have the YC73 & M8x so the PA5x seems like a better compliment and the quality of the Korg with double players is a cool feature.

Les comparaisons ne servent pas,car chaque marque(Yamaha/Korg/Ketron) a son propre univers de sons et grains. Chaque clavier est différent à l'écoute et certains musiciens préférant l'un ou l'autre de ces claviers.

9 .k views. Bro waiting for sounds and styles comparison video. Still no one uploaded.

They would have had to totally reprogram the VLSI's to possible get the SST, which would mean they would have to break with the compatibility and "easy" switch from the smaller SX models or the G1 to the G2. and that is one of Yamaha's key design philosofies, that even you had a Tyros 1 or 2 you won't have big issues with updating as most things is very similar even when switching from an older to a new generation that is over 10 years. Korg is totally software driven so the SST is much easier to implement, where Yamaha have chosen to pre alocate each DSP to each sound channel in the SW70P's, hence you have only SRT between eg Right1, 2 and 3. So you switch from a sound in eg Right 1 to Right 2 and they won't cut off as the sound and effect is already prealocated. So if you are smart and just cycle thru Right 1,2,3 for each sound change and only switch sound on a channel that is not currently enabled it won't be a problem. Only if you constantly use 2 or 3 sounds stacked at once. There is pro and cons on each brand. Even it's nice that the Genos don't weigh a ton, I do wish Yamaha would make their top board more Premium build Quality. As for the keybed Its the exact same FSX bed as featured in Montage and Montage M 6 and 7 models. I still prefere some of Yamahas older keybeds, but I was pleasent surpriced that the aftertouch is much better implemented in the G2 than the G1. The G1 was sluggish and had a big issue with requiring to wait a short time with using aftertouch from the initial hit or it would not trigger the aftertouch. This has been fixed in the G2. IMO the G2 has clearly better instrument sounds than than the Pa5x in most areas but greatly falls behind the Korg in "sound design". It's not a full blown Synth but in the Pa5X you have much better sound edits available. If your not the type that can sit for hours and tailoring each sound tho, the available factory and expansion sounds in the Yamaha is just top notch for the most part while the Korg clearly wins for more "Synth" textures. Yamaha is f***in scared to give their arrangers some better control over the waveforms, just like even most people just use those DX7 factory presets, it's kinda silly they did not add the ability to load DX7 Sysex. a full bank of 32 sounds only uses like max 32k and you have almost 15gb user space for expansions and you mostly just use that for Expansion sounds, Styles and stuff. you can load all your own styles, midifiles, Mp3 and multi pad audio direct from USB. and all the original expansion packs they have released so far only take up like 2gb. But both 2 keyboards is great instruments whatever you like the most .. if you can afford them 😉 The G2 was almost double what I payed for My Kronos 2 🥴 but still worth every penny 😊

Boa tarde 👏 👍🏻 👏 👍🏻 👏 Bom 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👈🇧🇷🇧🇷

I wish the Korg had the same sound quality of the Yamaha. The button layout is much more intuitive on the pa5x, but the Genos has much better sound. The styles on the pa5x is also much better, but the drums sounds on the Genos is freaking awesome. The two companies should work together and make the ultimate machine, lol.

Genos wins on Drums, Buttons disability, Cover Songs - all from old to new, Hundreds of New Styles Available for free you can find Genos 2 atyles converted for Genos 1 , better acoustic instruments ( strings and guitars) korg pa5x wins in : a few more modern styles, capability to combine 2 styles, better keyboard feel, metal case, inclines the screen.

Waiting for sounds and styles comparison

I 'm realy interesting about your feelings about this new Genos 2 - As far as i know, this could have been a real beast with some little improvements, such the Seamless transition system (That exists for a long time in the Montage serie, even the MO DX!!), a better arpeggiator, and upgrade the edit FM section. But, i have to admit both keayboards are very impressive - New styles in the Yamaha are realy good.

Sorry to each their own, but as much as I like the look of the Genos 2, the Korg Pa5x wins hands down for me. A lot of those sounds are derived from Korg's workstation variants (Kronos/Nautilus) and I'm not sure but I'm going to say M3 too. Plus the fact that Korg has ported over Smooth Sound Transitions into the Pa5x again from the Kronos and Nautilus. I have a Pa3x currently, and I'm seriously considering upgrading to the Pa5x.

I would personally choose Yamaha arranger over Korg even though some of the Korg sounds are a bit more realistic. I would at least choose a Yamaha Tyros 5 over a Korg PA-4X. Appearence, the Tyros 5 certainly looks nicer than the PA-4X but I do prefer the look of the PA-5X over the Genos and Genos 2 but at the end of the day if your buying a high end keyboard you are buying it for it's sounds and capibilities over it's looks. One reason I prefer Tyros 5 over Korg PA is because Tyros 5 also has Legacy sounds from all the previous Tyros models, I'm not sure if Genos 2 comes with Legacy sounds out of the box or if they are an expansion pack option but I know from original Genos they disenabled you from being able to play the general midi and XG sounds on the keys but you can only select them in songs or styles.

The G-2 is the king. Case is closed.

Yamaha for Kids Korg for Kings 🤴

Does anyone actually ever arrange anything usefull or famous about these types of machines? Or are these just for fun or playing wedding gigs etc minor gigs? I would choose the PA5x, not looking like cheap toy (like my old PSR-8000)

Yes Korg have deep Editor but Genos 2 sound very very much better👍👍👍

Yamaha genos 2

Just i playing on Genos 2 very rubbish keyboard for the price what they asking! The keys are China rubies not quality 100 times better the korg pa 5x keys, the pads not playng in the acords when you play just in one instrument whiteout accompaniment, and the acords what shows in the screen not changing when transpose just you note te sound change but korg transpose it,s change when you transpose and shows you exacli what acord you took!, a lot of things quite different and i can't compare korg with genos 2 because korg it,s passing away long way then the yamaha i will bay definitely a korg pa 5x 76 chipper and better quality! The right price for the genos 2 should be 2500 max not doing any penny more!

Hey my friend, I have Genos one , and just Aquire a Pa5x, which is brilliant, so is the Genos in a different way. But am very dissapointed in the pa5x, you can’t record the arranger section like and arranger keyboard, I change and edit the arranger section to make arrangements of original and cover songs, is There way. .Come visit my channel. Cheers. Lugero.🎹🎶

88 key version 🤢 🤢

Genos is for hobbyists, Pa5X is for professionals

Yamaha is children's toy.

Hello Sir, thank you so much for sharing your amazing insights and studio ! can you pls share on which keyboard stand type you have?

If you are a lazy musician, use Korg. If you are a professional, use Yamaha...

Yeh they should added stuff like the new montage then the keyboard would have been better

Genos 2 is 💩🥔
