Before I dive into Yamaha Genos, I need to send a big shoutout to Frank Ventresca of Audioworks CT. I tested and bought my PSR S9. Audioworks CT. Im ba ack, having had a good experience the first time largely due to Franks customer service. If youre interested in trying and buying an arranger keyboard, I recommend visiting Audioworks CT andor giving Frank a call. For me, its about 1. Audioworks CT. Preparations are similar to getting ready for a long day hike only with sheet music instead of boots. The long car trip means that testing time is limited. I try to hit the driving sweet spot between morning rush on I 4. I 2. 90 near Boston and the afternoon rush from New Haven and Hartford, leaving me about two hours to play. After arriving at Audioworks CT, I found a three tiered stack Yamaha Montage, Korg Pa. Yamaha Genos, from top to bottom. Thanks to a tip from Stephen on the PSR Tutorial Forum, I expected to see the Pa. With that foreknowledge, do I AB the Genos and the Pa. I chose to focus solely on the Genos given the two hour window for testing. Frank, BTW, invited me to stay longer, but I knew that I needed to avoid traffic Hell later in the day. I warmed up while Frank finished a business meeting. JazzBB3-600x600.jpg' alt='Garritan Jazz And Big Band 3 Download' title='Garritan Jazz And Big Band 3 Download' />No music stand, so I used the Pa. Once Frank was available, he quickly installed the Genos music stand. I decided to listen through headphones rather than use Audioworks house system. Its a good system, but I decided to go with my usual, lightweight headphones Roland RH 7. A. Headphones also freed up the LINE OUT which I connected to a Roland Micro. BR digital recorder. This setup let me hit record, play and forget. At the time of this writing, I pulled a few snippets among the noodling and posted them here. Im trying to get my first impressions down fast and dont want audio production to get in the way of my initial thoughts. Before recording, I set the Genos EQ to flat and turned off the master compression. Audio is recorded direct to MP3 1. Not the best quality, but I was afraid of overrunning the rather small SD card in the Micro. BR. After setting initial levels, I tried to forget that the Micro. BR was there and that the red light was ON. Its humbling to listen to my noodling. Hats off to everyones main man Katsunori UJIIE, who seems to rip this stuff effortlessly Genos is an instrument. One shouldnt have to say this, but the Genos is an instrument in the same league as Montage or Kronos. With the limited time available, I concentrated on Genos as a performance instrument first and as an arranger keyboard second. This approach is consistent with my musical priorities church gig first, fun and possibly one man band OMB second. As a liturgical musician, I play with a pianist on acoustic piano and a 1. Thats a lot of rhythmic content right there. Much of what I play complements piano and 1. Subconsciously, I fill in and hear these missing parts when practicing. Hopefully, you will fill in this context, too. If and when you hear the audio snippets, Im playing fuller than I would with the group. There is always a tendency to be the whole band when playing alone. Apologies in advance. The focus is on emulation of acoustic instruments, orchestra and pop. You wont hear any synth and given the short trial time, you wont hear many styles unfortunately. The FSX keyboard is a more robust keybed than the PSR S9. The FSX action is heavier. You do get what you pay for. The FSX affords aftertouch the S9. The Genos has three front panel articulation buttons to trigger voice articulations. The voice display shows the available articulations for each selected voice. Nice. The voice display also shows a drawbar icon for organ flute voices. Touching the drawbar icon brings up the drawbar display. Extra nice. I made extensive use of the voice DEMO touch button in order to play and sort through voices quickly. The user interface is responsive. I didnt get a sense of lag as reported by other players. I discovered that the MENU front panel button is your special friend. It brings up two pages filled with touch buttons leading to all internal settings. Its kind of a site map for the Genos. Strings. The Genos is like having a compact orchestral sample library in a portable, immediately playable keyboard. Think Garritan Personal Orchestra. There are two major options for strings in addition to legacy voices Kino strings and Seattle strings. The Seattle strings first appeared in the Tyros 5 before they were explicitly identified and advertised in the Montage. The Kino strings have a different character and the violin sections are panned separately left and right. Both options have multiple bowing and playing techniques legato, spiccato, pizzicato plus articulations. The options are also broken out into sections as well as the standard ensemble voices. The Kino strings have more power and are more in your face than the Seattle strings. Dare I say, more bow Where is Dave Stewart when you need himThis review would be wittier if written by Dave Stewart, too. The voice DEMO feature is really handy when approaching a deep keyboard like Genos for the first time. I quickly settled on the warm variation of the Kino strings and Seattle strings. Either choice Kino Seattle would work as a bread and butter ensemble patch. I give the edge to Seattle because, well, they would sit better with piano and acoustic guitar, given our repertoire. Tyros 5 people, hold up your heads with pride. With the loss of our groups flutist, Im play a lot of exposed solo lines using violin, oboe and flute. The Genos offers four Super Articulation 2 solo voices Celtic Violin, Jazz Violin, Classical Cello and Pop Cello. The Celtic Violin is a good fit with our liturgical repertoire. The Genos cellos are quite good, definitely a big cut above the MOX6 that I currently play. Constructor Program In Java. I wish that I had more time to check out the cellos. Meta comment Exploiting the Genos, especially its articulations and ensembles will require practice, practice, practice. Woodwinds. In the case of woodwinds, I need both ensemble voices or layers and solo voices mainly oboe and flute. The Genos does not disappoint in either category. I quite easily built and tried a few layers. It wasnt difficult to create a workable reed plus horn layer another bread and butter, every Sunday patch. Less is often more. It isnt necessary to layer up a preset woodwind ensemble with French horn sometimes a mellow oboe or clarinet will do. The Genos has two SArt. SArt MOR Oboe. The Classic Oboe is bright and thin, able to cut through strings. For exposed lines, I would prefer the Pop Oboe or MOR Oboe voices that have a warmer, fuller sound. The SArt. 2 Classical Bassoon and Pop Bassoon are quite pleasant without moving into comedic territory. Peter and the Wolf. Brass. The Genos has a messohorns and classical brass. Symphony horns are quite useful in liturgy as pads and mid range filler. Fanfare brass is too much except for the obvious holidays when all sorts of sonic mayhem can be let loose. The Genos has a wide range of horns from mellow to a brighter more open tone. The brasher instruments trumpet and trombone are available solo and in sections. All quite good. Trombones are especially useful due to their wider range and deeper timbre. The demo phrases for certain brass voices are way hotter level wise than the strings or woodwinds. I had to adjust the audio record level way down to prevent clipping. Receptor Features. RECEPTOR VIP2 good. TB drive. 8 GB memory. Ghz Dual Core Intel processor. RECEPTOR TRIO better.

Great sound, no headaches Invest in a platform that will not only save you time, money and headaches, but will also make you sound better than you ever thought possible. Five reasons why you should you buy a Receptor instead of a second computer, laptop, or sound module 1. Receptor has low latency and pristine sound. Because Receptor is a purpose built device, Muse Research has been able to optimize it to do one thing run great sounding VST synths and effects. Receptor doesnt check your email or double as a fax machine. It doesnt edit vacation photos or balance your checkbook. Receptor is a sound and effects module. And, as such, it is fully optimized to perform this function, with built in 2. Hz fidelity and measured latency figures as low as 2ms from the time you touch. MIDI keyboard until you hear sound come out of Receptor. To put this in perspective, 2ms is about the amount of time it takes for sound to travel 23 of a meter. In other words, there is as much audible latency between a pianists left and right hands as there is in Receptor. Receptor plays todays synths and effects. Unlike a sound module, which is limited to creating todays sounds with todays technology, Receptor is totally software based.
