In the corner of my room, where shadows softly play,
Stands a memory of melodies that whisk me far away.
A Yamaha Genos 2, with keys that gleam and glow,
Unveils a realm of rock, where memories gently flow.
Its keys, like ancient pathways, lead to days of yore,
Where dreams were spun from vinyl, and echoes filled the floor.
Each chord a whispered secret, each riff a cherished tale,
In the Rock Style category, where emotions never pale.
From the depths of adolescence to the heights of grown-up grace,
The Genos 2 became the vessel for every heartfelt trace.
With every strum and drumbeat, it echoed joys and fears,
Capturing the essence of those long-forgotten years.
Oh, how those Rock Styles carried me, on journeys swift and grand,
Through the highways of nostalgia, across the shifting sands.
Each note a testament to the power of a song,
In the heart of every listener, where memories belong.
So here I sit, with Genos 2, beneath the soft-lit glow,
Lost in waves of longing, where the rock gods used to roam.
In every chord, a story, in every rhythm, a sigh,
As I wander through the echoes of a love that never dies.
Wow
Seriously?
Exactly this is what I´m feeling
Wow!!! Great lyrics indeed!!! Very cool☝️😎👍🖖
Lets see if Lee can come up with a meldy for that 😎
Once again, an absolute brilliant video from the master of Yamaha Genos 2 hand down ... What ever you play and demonstrate is an absolute inspiration and total joy in continuing enjoying my Genos 2. Well super done Leigh as always.
Thanks.
70’s Uk soft rock is 10CC The things we do for love. 1977. Thanks Leigh for all your brilliant videos. Extremely helpful and entertaining. 48:06
Hi Leigh, just to let you know I spoke to Yamaha tech today. I told them that your videos helped me make my mind up on buying my G2 5 days ago. So because you have helped me a few brownie points will come your way. I have my G2 loaded up and sounds amazing so i cannot thank you enough. Scott
ps It was the Aiva maria what clinched it 😊
I’m really pleased you got the Genos 2 and I’m certain you’re going to be as happy as every other owner.
It's going to take time to get my head around but I will get there so keep the videos coming lol
Have you seen the genos club. Www.patreon.com/genosclub
I have with owning a sx900 but at the moment till funds get a bit healthier im holding back but I will be joining and also my plan is to subscribe to your channel with Pateron as your videos helped me make up my mind and its been a tough decision but I will honestly say im very glad I bye passed the Genos
Thanks again for such an epic insight. 🎉
Finally I got Genos 2 and I admit you can't hear it's potentials from youtube, I compared it side-by-side with my old Genos 1 using my PA system and it's a whole different story. But... yamaha.... please.... update that damn OTSs, or at least... GIVE USERS THE ABILITY TO OVERWRITE THE DEFAULT ONES WITHOUT HAVING TO SAVE A COPY OF THE STYLE IN USER AREA!!!!!!!!!
I’m so glad you got one and enjoying it. I agree with the OTS
Just received my New Yamaha Genos2 a fortnight ago. What an awesome piece of kit. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your videos on how to get the best out of the genos 2. I cannot read a note of music or do I know what cords I am playing. I just received my first pension payment last month. I started to play an old piano that was in our house at the age of seven, went numerous teachers who tried to teach me how to read music. Unfortunately with no success. Yamaha is is a big name in my home I now have now four keyboards and a Clavinova to my collection. Psr 2000/Psr 910/ Tyros 1 / Genos 2. The Genos 2 is in a class of it own. Keep up the good work you are doing for us old boys who are still scratching our heads with all the new technology.Thanks once again. Kenny
Congratulations and so many thanks for your kind words
Hi Leigh, just wanted to let you know of all the Genos 2 demos I have listened to and watched, this one was the ultimate decision maker. Had my Genos 2 delivered last week, and yes it’s another WOW! These videos demonstrating the styles have been extremely helpful and inspiring. Thanks again for taking the time to put these videos together. I had the Genos original since it was launched and hesitated to trade in for Genos 2, but absolutely no regrets. Desert Adventure, amazing!
Thanks Once more Leigh, excelent job
I’ve said it before and will say it again; it’s so easy to play something you want to learn the right tune for, however, your talent exceeds all bounds by playing the wrong notes with ease to avoid the copy strikes. It’s almost cringeworthy listening to the wrong notes as always want to try and play the right notes, but I know you are doing it for the right reasons, it makes you a much higher level musician than many will give you credit for. Well done Leigh!
Indeed, and you sit there annoyed like "darn what is that number .. I KNOW it if he just played the right notes" 😆 Anyone else than me that would like to find an easter Egg somewhere hidden in the keyboard with a "cheat sheet" for all those song styles ? 😋
Another great vid Leigh. Very informative and good to hear all the various styles.
Couldn't agree more about the guitars. I especially love the Shadowed guitars as I love playing stuff by The Shads
very very well done😄
Amazing !
Great stuff
Love your videos and seriously considering a Genos 2 as it seems good fun over my Fantom!
Hi Leigh - thanks for this walk through - and I fully appreciate your comments on OTS...I am on an sx900 and accompany a singer so he has the melody. I am learning so much from what you do with the voices :)
Bravo ! 👏 👏
Forgot to mention that BritRockPop is Clocks and Speed of sound by the legend himself coldplay
Very very Cool Leigh!!!! Wayne’s World, Party On, Dynamite!!!
Thany you so much sir
Great one again!
The Raga Rock is for Rolling Stone Paint it black
🤘🏼
Rock!
I have a Tyros 5 and don’t want to upgrade as I like 1 style that I use all the time. I’ve just seen it on the Genos 2 so thanks in advance to my wallet. Great stuff, will have to check out the Dance styles next.
Enjoyed the rock set and totally agree with the Leigh,I have a Genos 1 and happy with it,as regards to the Korg very hard to work on, good but hard, anyway well done.
I agree I really wished it was easier to use. I’d then seriously be tempted to buy one.
Thanks for your reply, I enjoy your info on how different things work on my Genos, possibly looking at the 2 shortly, as regards to the Korg I've had two, I5S and Pa80 and too many buttons to get where you wanted to get to, well done again.
@@user-lj2ec1rc1s thank you.
great💥
I can't believe It's 4am and again I'm sitting here enjoying your playing. got to block you for my sanity but I won't! :)
I’m so pleased you enjoy my video. Thanks for watching at 4am!!
Hello,
First, i must appologise for my terrible english, i am from the Czech Republic and i am not so advanced.
I would like to thank you for all your videos about Yamaha Genos 2. I must highly rate your precise work and the time you have spent with recording the reviews of all style categories.
I am the owner of Genos 1 and considering to buy the new model, so those videos are wery helpfull for me.
But still there is something that i really miss.
I am a song writer and background music creator so the live performing is not my main activity.
Most of your videos shows only the style section step by step and yes, it is interesting, but on Genos 2, there are not only hundreds of styles but also thousands of voices and this is what i am interested in mostly.
I am werry familliar with Genos 1 voices and know them so well. It is easy to find out that voices on Genos 2 are not werry different and the time period of six years between those two instruments is not so noticeable as we hoped. But some differences are there and this is what i would like to hear more than onli as a part hidden in the style pattern.
Offcourse, you can not show us and play each of two thousnt voices, but you can play shortly atleast some of the most important like a guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars, strings, woodwinds and drums. Some of them have been added, some of them have been improved and many of them have not been used in styles.
On CZcams i have found some videos with new pianos, Factory Demos and lot of styles, but i would like to hear some of the new instruments like a cynematic Drumkit, Rock kit, solo strings, flutes, guitars, clarinets, choirs and so on.
My biggest question is, when i will buy Genos 2 and use the best of its new and improved voices for creating my own multitrack compositions mostly from Rock, Country, Pop and Movie genres, will the result be noticeable better than the simmilar piece on Genos 1?
Ant there are some other technical questions about Genos 2. For instance:
Is the new Ambient Controller applicable only for drum part inside a style or can it be applied also for the drumkit as a solo voice? Or can it be applied for some separate drumkit part in multitrack recording session?
And the same about the new Dynamic style controller. Can you adjust only the dynamic of styles or also the your on multitrack recordings or other solo voices.
And what about the steinberg Revelation Reverb? Where it can be used and can you for instance apply your own setting for one part of multitrack session and the different setting for another part or midi channel?
For Genos 1, you could download the Voice Guide package of samples, usable for Visually impaired people to make a Genos Touch screen more accessible. Is there something Simillar for Genos 2?
What about the Screen? Is it really Better? Is not there some opportunity to change the screen font size to be better readable for visually impaired? I am Almost Blind ant those things are important for me. Genos 1 was the first soffisticated instrument with touch screen which i was able to particullary use without seeing and the usability of its follower is one of the most important arguments to buy.
Excuse me for a long message with so many mistakes but i dont know where else i should ask for my questions.
That would be fantastic if you will find some time to record a video with voice examples. I know a lot about Genos 2, there are so many videos with so much talking about styles and functionality, but solo voices, various instruments and how they sounds, this is what is missing.
I've said it before and I will say it again: This boy needs a right ... needs more subscriptions!
Hi Leigh, thanks for the videos you do! I love your presenting style and honest comments. Can I just say that towards the end of this video you didn't mention the DGX670. What are your thoughts. Could you do a video on it? Thanks
If I can get my hands on one I’d love to. Sadly I don’t have access to one.
No worries! Just one last thing, as a performer like myself, would you suggest an arranger like this or a good keyboard using external backing tracks. What are your thoughts?
Leigh, really enjoying your numerous Genos 2 videos - thank you. They're very much tempting me to buy one. Out of interest, what speaker system are you using/would you recommend for home use?
Yamaha HS8 are wonderful speakers.
@@LeighWilbraham Excellent - many thanks. Off now to get Board Approval !
Could you do a similar video with all the jazz styles?
Sure
❤❤❤ jenous 2 is the best
Sounds awesomely amazing!!
Would G2 styles work on SX900?
No
Raggarock is for playing "Paint it black" from the Rolling Stones
thank you from Kharkov (Ukraine)
Sending our love to the people of the Ukraine
@@LeighWilbraham yes we are !
Hi Leigh I am a member of your club but thought I would ask you on here I am needing some speakers for small gigs I'm not keen on using the speakers for the Genos 2 so do you have any suggestions ?
For small gigs - I always recommend the Yamaha series of stagepas. They are super sounding and easy to move.
Hi Leigh
How is the genos 2 ´s accompagniment when you play like piano on the whole keyboard
It works well
I now have enough to buy a G2, however, I’ve just had a 20k dental forecast, what do I do? I’ve done without selling my group of yam tyros’ etc, but heck, it’s a quandry!
Teeth come and go. I’d buy the Genos lol. 😂
@@LeighWilbraham Will decide this coming week and mull over overtime options too.
loving your videos. Just recently became a subscriber of your channel. Question, as someone who's blind, do you think with remembering where the buttons are on the Genos 2, do you think someone like me could use this? I have played the Tyros 5 and CVP 709 and 809. Also, you have to explore all 3 intros and endings... a lot of styles have different crazy drum stuff at the end.
I would say yes. The buttons are easy to remember it’s the screen menu that may be an issue.
Hello, i am blind aswell and by my oppinion, Genos is also Accessible for us. I had a Tyros 2 before and there was so much buttons, that sometimes i have been lost on the panel. Genos is more simple, more intuitive and easier to use. And i have signet all the buttons with the braille alphabet so it is super easy now. A dint know if it works on Genos 2, but on Genos 1, there was a large sample package called Voice Guide, which aloves you to browse the styles and voices and some of the basic menu with a voice feedback, like a speech syntesizer on the computer. Not each deep menu item has been voiced but for the basic operations it is amazing. With the expression pedal switched on, you can just browse the screen without activating anything and without dhe pedal you are activating the items. The touch screen is one thing which is not friendly for the blind people but the Voice guide is simplifiing its using so much. I have Genos 1 and now i am stil counting pros and cons to buy a new brand Genos 2. My main job are not styles but voices and their using in multitrack recirdings. I hope that mr. Braham or someone else will make some video showing not only the styles but also the voices and their pottentional differences from Genos 1.
@@user-ge3bg5xc5v There is indeed a Voice Guide for the Genos 2. I wouldn't guess it's a big problem if you have already used a Genos. Apart from a few extra and a couple moved buttons It's practically the exact same layout. It must be an absolute horror for a blind person to switch to another brand with a completely different layout of functions and buttons. Cudos to Yamaha for always being pretty good to stick with the same layout for a certain series of keyboard models, but in all fairness most brands do that usually.
@@mrdali67 Yes, switching between another brands is absolutelly crazy. I had Old Yamahas, i had Korg Triton, i had Nord and so on but Genos is the most intuitive. Still i would like to find the ansvers for some questions, but probbably i will buy the new one. Questions like: If the Style Dynamic controller works only with the styles or wit the multitrack midi recordings too, if the Drum ambient controller works also wit a drums as a separate solo voice or only within the style and so on, i would like to hear some of the new voices sepparately but those are just a details.
@@user-ge3bg5xc5v The style dynamics only work with "Styles" I would guess, as its main purpose is to control the overall accompagnement level vs live sounds. The ambiend drums deinetly works in all modes. And I know that the style dynamics arent just a level control its actually making the feeling of the musicians playing softer when you turn it down so yes it IS tied to the actual midi velocity of the programmed style. I guess if it were to be used on eg midifiles, you'll have to make sure the midifile follows "Yamaha" style of what midi track is playing what. or let us define what channels are the acompagnement. It actually sound like a good idea for an enhanced version of it 😊
Great,,,but I still like the old 60,s rock
Ah Simple Minds or U2? Sounding great though!
Cześć Leigh
Potęgę i głębię tego instrumentu wspaniale słychać od 50.03 min, z każdej prezentowanej aranżacji potrafisz zrobić klejnot, gratuluję i dalej będę podziwiał twoje relacje.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 😉👍
Hey Leigh do you no when the cheaper version of genoss 2 coming out
I’d guess late summer….
I tried to get mine knocked down a bit but they said no. But I have got it now and glad I spent the money.
Hi Leigh, thanks for your videos and comments. I'm a fresh owner of GENOS2. Unfortunately I'm struggling actually loading playlist(s). Do you like to make a video regarding that. Hope that this is not a too simple request. Thank you and take care.
I rarely use playlist feature.
Lol leigh .. never seen the lead singer take out a blues harp and do a solo ? 🤣.. A harp solo is always great (just as long as the singer aint Bob Dylan 😱) Not that many harp sounds in any keyboards sounds anything like the real thing and the new ones in the Genos is actually half decent. And who don't like the DX7 harp 🥳 I just called ... ... but yeah I agree some of the OTS'es is very much a copy paste job from other styles and certainly not what I usually had in mind .. and yes the Shadows Guitar is a brilliant sound but way over used on many of them. You can blody find some style categories where they put the same 4 OTS settings on half of the styles. A little more fantasy would sometimes have made things more interesting Yamaha 🙃 It's not that the programming of the styles arent great .. it IS. So many great styles, could spent ages just fiddling around with them. Don't think I have found any bad styles, just more if I'm gonna have a use for all of them 😅
Try coldies to help your cough!
Still have not heard any island stuff reggae socs and calypso not european reggae but iskand reggae
Does this have the infamous Yamaha single finger chords ? I have a PSR 740 and the SFC’s are so easy to play for me 😉😉 ( just got to talk the missus into letting me buy the Genos 2 😉😉)
Yes it does.
Cześć Leigh, włącz proszę tlumaczenie na jezyk polski w Twoich relacjach na Y.T.- nie znam jezyka angielskiego -a Twoje relacje są ....niesamowite, yamaha genos 2 to wspaniały instrument w Twoich prezentacjach, pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski , z Oświęcimia Andrzej 👍😉🌲🇵🇱
