Hi Leigh, what would be nice and very appreciative my many I suppose is if you could kindly demonstrate all the FreePlay Styles presented in the mega super Yamaha Genos2. I seem to think that Yamaha does not give these styles very much importance as they are not even listed on the owners manual nor on the Data List! I bought this beautiful Yamaha Genos2 in particular for these style. As a classical pianist, I seem yo love composition and FreePlay Styles could be a great inspiration and tool for great results. Well done once again for such presentations.
Hi Leigh
Another great demo. I was thinking you could take this instrument into Abby Road, play a selection of songs for forty minutes and the vast majority of people listening to the outcome would not even know it was a single instrument.
Back in the nineties when I was doing a lot of sequencing I would have killed to get voices as good as these!
Thanks Leigh, I have been really enjoying these demos. I’ve ordered a Genos 2 last week and this helps so much to get familiar before it comes. Thanks again.
As a direct result of this video, +50 G2s will be sold in Germany 😆
Really enjoying your playing and commentary. Keep them coming 😁👍
At least. I think more :-)
Another great video liegh. Some of those styles sounded just amazing. A big thanks for the time you have taken to do these videos, I for one certainly am really enjoying and appreciate them.
Thank you
Great video. I like the way us plebs can see exactly what you’re doing.
Not sure how to reply to that. Would never call anyone a pleb
WOW! I have to say even thought this is not related to these style Leigh! I was watched Mrs Mills Love which you played like 9 years ago and was posted on Soundcloud and it's absolutely breath taking LOL ... WOW! it made me swing and jump with joy ... Now that would be nice it you had to emulate that style and song for the Yamaha Genos2 ... Loved it sooo much that I heard that like 6 times in a row LOL
I’m so flattered that you remember the old track on soundcloud
Hi Leigh. When I follow your hands amazing how little movemets you need. Smooth.
Request. The new toutch sceen planned to ease arranging and copy style parts as well?
Could you demo sometime arranging some songs to as close original as possible.
Pleased to follow you! ❤
Can't wait for part 2 mate really enjoyed that👌keep em coming regards Shane 👍
Yes!!! This is what I was waiting for.
Job well done Leigh. I’m pretty sure that ‘Mega Hit’ is meant to be ‘Atemlos Durch Die Nacht’. By Helene Fischer. Certainly Intro 3 would strongly suggest that.
Pop Rumba is certainly “Die Hôlle Morgen Fruh - Mambo Jazz style” by Helene Fischer and Beatrice Egli.
귀한연주 🎶 🎵 손잡고 🤝 끝까지 감명깊게 경청하고 큰박수보냄니다 화이팅임다요 👍 👍 👍
All sound great to me Leigh. The last one "Hey Hey Hey It's a Beautiful Day". or, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Keep it going mate.
Love this amazing keybord I thought my casio years ago was brill lol yamaha Best keysbords by far sounds etc love the 3blind mice bit euro hit for you lol brilliant player
Has the Genos 2 a Leigh Wilbraham style installed?
You can actually hear, what (German Schlager) Song the Intros and Outros are based upon. You probably don't know - OldiesSchlagerPolka is based upon "Manchmal möchte ich schon mit Dir" of Roland Kaiser.
Many thanks for another enlightening demo Leigh. l was a bit disillusioned watching the launch after certain idiots ruined it with their ill founded comments.
But thanks to watching your demos it has helped show how good the Genos 2 is and convinced me it's worth trading my Genos in for.
Now the good news, Friday is G day and l pick up my new Genos 2 after seeing Peter Bartmaan 😁 Xmas has come early, only 3 more sleeps 🤣
Twenty tens, twenty twenties: decades.
Stop already...I'm drooling all over my computer keyboard... it's a mess! Last night I found myself sleep-walking over to the phone ordering a G2 in my sleep! Help, I'm gonna go bankrupt if i watch any more of your videos!!
Hahahahah. If you need a psychologist give me a call lol
Hi Leigh, I have enjoyed all of your demonstrations and have watched some of them more than once also I have watched other performers, none however come up to your prowess, as I mentioned before I have ordered a Genos 2 but no luck with getting it so far. In all the demos I have watched none have said anything about the playlist and what it contains, perhaps you could enlighten us. All the best Ron Kendall
Hi Leigh,
Love your Genos2 videos! I actually just received mine yesterday. After watching you demo the style for days now (I have ADHD and this is my new rabbit hole :), I couldn't help myself. The funny thing is I don't even play piano. My 12 year old son is getting very good at trumpet, so I figured I can learn some of the AI left hand to be his backing track. 🤓
My question to you:
What would be the best resources to learn some of the fun songs you play? Should I get standard piano notes and then scribble in the AI Fingered shortcuts to learn? Are there Keyboard notebooks that already are made for the automated Left hand?
I would also love to join your GenosClub if you have some "How to play this song" videos maybe with PDF notes, for us beginners that need to learn the playing also.
Hi. Leigh,it amazes me how you can play the tunes without actually playing the tunes.
If only I could play the tunes 🤣🤣
Thank you Leigh for presenting yet another section of styles which I so very much love ... As always, you're presentation of the new Yamaha Genos2 which in my opinion is the best professional arranger-workstation flagship on the market! I so noticed and you're so correct about it that the sliders need to be adjusted to get the correct volume of the parts correctly! Once you do that, is there a function that you can save those corrected volume for that particular style?
Sadly not unless you resave the style as a user. This is a feature that should be added.
@@LeighWilbraham Thank you so very much for your reply to my question Leigh ... WOW! Now I totally understand your frustration in regard to have to play around with the sliders in order to bring out the part most requiered to be heard including the drums. I am sooo super happy with my new Yamaha Genos2. Yes, it is in my opinion that this new Yamaha Genos2 is by far the best professional arranger-workstation keyboard on the market. Not perfect, but I am positive as at some point Yamaha will release a significant update to the Genos2 which will align this with all that us musicians ask for ... Thank you for your expertise, you are one of the very best on the Yamaha Genos2 hands down.
The intro to style 1 sounds like Atomlos by Helen Fischer
Correct it does Tony. I reacon a genos 2 would be the ideal instrument for you.
Atemlos Helene Fischer ❤❤ Style MegaHit but why in Entertainer not in Pop Dance 😢
@@LeighWilbrahamIt might be 😊
Hello Leigh, i live to hear you playing on the Genos2. You inspire me with your talent…
i have downloaded the Genos premier packs (i didn’t see any for the Genos2)from the Yahama website onto a flash drive but not yet imported them into the Genos2 ….Will they play on the Genos2 keyboard ?
You have to make sure you have the Genos 2 versions
Regarding the accompaniment volumes, you are right. However I tend to view this from another perspective. I think Yamaha clearly wanted to avoid styles being too "in your face" and left room for vocals - which hear me out, may be the right approach. By this logic, the selected OTSes are mostly lead instruments / voices meant for cutting through for brief phrases or solos, yet even so, I find them being unbalanced towards sounding harsh. So from my point of view, the easier fix would be to lower the OTSes a click; you can always raise the main. But maybe there are a lot of light fingered players out there, who knows. 🤷♂
Also, can you try fiddling a bit with the style dynamics? They should be bound to the second rotary encoder by default I believe. Is that relevant for drums only, or does it affect the other instruments as well? 👀
Thank you!
28:00 Is Austrian/German Tiroler pop. Intro is based on Anton Aus Tirol
Leigh. I Enjoy your playing...It would be very helpful if could name styles when you select each one.
Good jobb , Can you share style Genos 2 preset all next video for my Sx 900 .
Hi Leigh,You are right about the style volumes.
Maybe you can use the schlagersoulstyle for Verdammt ich lieb' dich by Matthias Reim?
I had an email notification from CZcams saying you wanted to talk to me Leigh. I clicked the reply link, but it doesn't link to a comment.
Some scammer sadly. Ignore this.
@@LeighWilbraham Thanks Leigh 👍
Are these styles new in Genos2 or are these present in genos 1 also
Thanks for your prompt reply.. There were no Genos2 packs available on the USA Yamaha website.. If you know of where I can get one kindly let me know..
You need the Genos 2 Europe website.
Well, now I'm confused. LOL
So I was checking out for Genos 2 in my area, but came across a video from Yamaha, over 4 years ago, about, what I think is an "update" for the Genos, called
Genos V 2.0.
Supposedly a lot of new (at that time) features, but also something about 3 Gig memory or something, which might be hardware.
So as I don't have a Genos as yet, does anyone know what the difference is between that update, V 2.0 and an actual Genos 2?
Right now, the Genos is on sale big time, so with that V 2.0 update, is there really much difference between that and the new Genos 2 ??
V2 was a software update for genos 1. Genos 2 is a brand new instrument. Not that confusing if you look at the two instruments….
@@LeighWilbraham It's clearer now, thanks.
I only noticed now that the Genos 2 actually has the marking with a 2 on the right part of the keyboard.
So now I know what to look for.
I can sure see why you are so excited about it. Thanks for clarifying this. I really appreciate it.
Why don't you turn on auto-fill? So each time you press variation button, it plays a fill (no need to press "break", which is for different purpose I think - in this case, when you have autofill off, to play a fill you need to press the current variation button + next variation). The fill will better suit the variation sound than "break" button.
Looking forward to rock section!
So True
Please name styles when you select each one. Nice lay back playing.
Is the Yamaha Genos 2 blind user friendly!?
Witam jakie sa wady jego ? pozdrawiam
May not be the correct place for this, but I'll share. I really like using "AI full keybaord" because it lets me play in a way that is comfortable to me (Generally octave and fifth in the left hand). I also move the split to C3 for this. But I wish the Genos would respect the split point for the "Right" voices. It fine with a piano, but if you want to add Sax or horns, it a muddy mess. Would be really cool if "AI full Keyboard" had two modes, Full AI keyboard for forming the chords and not sounding the "Right" voices over the entire board, and "AI full keyboard" where it does use the full keyboard for both forming chords and the "Right" voices. I could enable a register to switch Finger Type, but I found to change Finger Type, the register must include a Style (or am I missing something). Heck, if that is my only complaint, then I really don't have much to complain about.
When you use right split do you octave shift the voice on the Right 3
@@LeighWilbraham Just tried it, what a great idea. Sometimes it is the simple things that escape me.
The one style with the string intro is "Aber bitte mit Sahne" (= Please do adding cream) by Udo Jürgens.
For having both Genos 1 and Genos 2 - could you say if they significantly changed these styles or are they mainly the same?
Huge change - like a different set of styles.
🎉❤
Hai,
Are there any 7/8 pattern styles in Genos2 ? Thank you!
For which song
@@LeighWilbraham it's for a song in my local language. I will give the link here.
czcams.com/video/g6jgnfPRj2Q/video.htmlfeature=shared
@@LeighWilbraham for any general song with a 7/8 beat. I tried pasting one sample song here but got rejected since there was a youtube video link in my reply.
@@ebyraju979 no 7/8 styles. It’s not a common time signature.
@@LeighWilbraham okay thank you!
Don't just turn the drums up and leave the rest of the band behind, turn the rest of the band up too!
I suppose you have found out by now that "10-s and 20-s mean sounds from 1910 and 1920. But it's a good video you make, and I stick to my 9000pro.
I think you're off by an entire century! In the 1910s and 1920s, they had NOTHING that sounded like these styles. Move forward 100 years! 😁😅
@@GaryMCurran I second that Gary LOL LOL ...
Yeah different style, kind of RE-imagining... BUT Genos 1 Styles is superior in every aspect...Genos 1 has many many professional and natural Styles and drum kits and sounds...
But in Genos 2 everything has been kinda downgraded sort of 😕😕 and become so cheesy and superficial .... I don't know why....
Genos 1 was/is very professional keyboards in every aspect...
THAT professionalism has been taken from Genos 2...
You can COMPARISON between them yourself..
it's not my belief.... it's a fact that most who had/has Genos 1, have stated it.... even those who have Tyros 5 are saying....Tyros 5 has better quality.... Believe me they are not wrong...
There are many videos of Genos 1 styles and sounds in all Categories.... Listen to them and then compare them to Genos 2 Styles and sounds...
and you will understand very quickly...
After 7 Long Years.... Genos 2 is a disappointment unfortunately...
It's like very light upgrade from Genos 1 😔😔😔😕😥😞
I am not able to move very much forward, since I turn 90 at my next birthday@@GaryMCurran
@@larscare9749 You know what, I realize we all make mistakes, and I probably shouldn't have been so snarky in my reply to you. Please accept an apology for that. As to the upcoming 90th, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (whenever it is!) If you're still making music, still on the computer, still functioning, I'd say you were doing pretty well. My opinion is 'yesterday is done and gone, tomorrow is uncertain, live today, always.'
Can we do some punchy noisy rock'n'roll with that machine ?
Oh yessssas
Leigh, @24 minutes in, and this is only a guess, 10s and 20s probably refer to 2010 and 2020. But, as I've said previously, I'm stuck way back in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s of the last century, so I really don't know the music of the 2000s (or even the 1990s or 1980s!)
So, if you can't buy everyone a Genos, can you buy them all a Coke? czcams.com/video/1VM2eLhvsSM/video.html
I agree with you on the sliders. Depending on where you've left them, as you switch styles, you may have to move them a lot to get them to 'catch' up. By the way, TO ME, when you were moving the slider up and down to the next light, it DID sound, to me, like it wasn't going up until it hit the next light. That's what I heard from here. One could hope that they'll update the software at some point in the future to move instantly to the position of the slider, or, at least, give you the option to choosing which you'd like to do.
I'm still impressed with the keyboard. We know that anything that man designs is going to have some issues, but the Genos 2 is a very good keyboard.
No way! I can't believe Yamaha ripped off that one. See 58:34 vs czcams.com/video/fKV_Ma9T5N8/video.html
Was für ein Käse!
