To get all the vsts that actually produce great quality sound you’re going to pay over $4k, plus the gear and computer needed to run those vsts are gonna cost you. So the comparison of piano vsts to workstations are just ludicrous
Thanks for sharing your perspective. Good food for thought. VSTs and Computers have a wide band of possibilities so this would be a good second debate looking deeper into cost and options.

RMX (Drums): 379, Trilian: $279, Keyscape: $379 Pianoteq Standard (Pianos & EP): $269, Laptop: $500 - $1,000, again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and perspective very respectfully. This forum will enable everyone arrive at their own unique conclusion that works for them! 🙏
I have the original Genos and have thought about getting Genos 2 . I have also have the Korg PA5X which in my opinion is outstanding for sound and styles. I am starting to hear a lot of problems occurring with Genos 2 and the price is simply over the top for me so until things are resolved i am really happy with my Genos and PA5X .
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your viewpoint @soulgirl62
I've been a Yamaha user since I was a child. I'm a PSR SX900 owner and I was expecting so much for the Genos 2 release and I'm really disappointed. I totally agree that Genos sounds great, the best option compared to Pa5X. But compared with my SX900, Genos 2 has the same operational system, and for me it's great! Very intuitive and easy to use. But why am I disappointed? The lack of new features, configurations on Genos 2 is the main reason. Pa5x is the winner talking about features, functions and possibilities.
Why did not Yamaha develop the smooth transition between the sounds? Why do we not have a good equalizer for each channel in the styles or voices? On Genos 2 I still can not create a user drum kit mixing parts from different drum kits. I think that Genos 2 is the more expensive keyboard from Yamaha, but the build quality is the same of my SX900. And talking about the sounds, where is new voices for Accordion family? OMG, we have basically the same accordions on Genos 2 after 7 years! In my humble opinion, the features and improvements which I've mentioned here, are so much better and important compared to a "new reverb", "dynamic control" and "ambient drums live control".
Cheers, from Brazil!
Beautifully put Leonardo! Thank you very much for sharing your honest and candid opinion! 🙏🙏🙏🙏💯❤️
Great video as always. I wonder what it's like to own a korg triton extreme. I once heard the organ sounds and i was blown away by the timbres.
Ah! Those were the good ole days ;-) Hard to find them.
Based on a ton of demo's I've listened to and personal experience, the only department Genos 2 excels in is the solo spanish/nylon style guitar's realism, where you feel somebody's playing a real guitar, compared to Korg PA5X's guitar, which is so unrealistic it feels like listening to a "harp"... But Genos's dominance ends there, IMHO.
some of the Korg PA 5Xs sounds are incredible
Thinking about getting a korg kross 2. great value. $5.000 arrangers are for entertainers who can afford to show off their hardware and show up to a gig to impress the people paying you. i think its similar with video production. when you show up with a compact but more than capable camera and set up for the job clients will assume they arent getting their moneys worth compared to when you show up with a full but unecessarily big rig for a video shoot. at the end of the day no one cares about the nuance in piano fidelity at 1am when everyone is dead drunk😂
Haha! Brilliant points and great food for thought. Very true @1am! Lol Thanks for sharing your insights and opinion!
Geez that was a good video. Didn’t pull any punches!
Haha! Thanks Myron!
Compared to competitors arrangers like Genos 2 , this sounds much better.
I think so too my friend 👍👍👍
Genos demos, show me one, at least one that does not have solos with gyitar, organs and that disturbing plastic saxophone from PSR 1996 . Really ? They call that a sax ? There are no great lead synths for solos in Genos. Show me 1 demo. I bet they have the Duduk, and 2 other nice leads for cinematic songs.
As you said, but.....
Korg pa5x can achieve the richness of genos 2, but genos can't achieve the quality build of the pa5x.
Although the software in both is not at its highest performance level if you know what I mean.
There are more to add, but Korg win the competition for me for its in deep settings for the sounds and styles and pads and 8gb compressed ram also the more than 30 000 samples capacity.
Great points Nikolay! Thank you for sharing! Very nice analogies.
Boa tarde Phill, desde Portugal. Obrigado pelos seus videos, e pelas suas opiniões, com as quais no geral concordo. Eu por acaso estou a querer comprar um teclado novo para substituir o meu Ketron SD9. A minha curiosidade é ouvir uma opinião sua sobre o Ketron Event, sobre a minha marca preferida (Roland), não falo porque não tem um topo de gama. Obrigado. Cumprimentos.
Good afternoon Phill, from Portugal. Thank you for your videos, and for your opinions, which I generally agree with. I'm actually looking to buy a new keyboard to replace my Ketron SD9. I'm curious to hear your opinion about Ketron Event, about my favorite brand (Roland), I won't say it because it doesn't have a top of the range product. Thanks. Compliments.
Good day Brother! Will this be for studio or performance or arranging?
Good afternoon Phill, and thank you very much in advance for your response. It will be mainly for live performance, but of course I always make some modifications to my taste and end up using it a little in the studio, but mainly as I said for live performance.
👍👍👍
Not worth the time. I'm honestly laughing 😂😂
Others with opinions have shared them for enlightenment of others. Disagreeing with others views is totally normal. We cannot all hear alike and agree on everything in this world. It's ok to feel that way.
I came across your video during my reviews. It's a good representation of the PA5X. Others can form their opinions from it: czcams.com/video/P_CwalXs_Nc/video.html
Something is wrong with your hearing 😂
Now while I am open minded to diverse opinions, don't insult people or use abusive language. I do not find this comment funny. I do not tolerate poorly crafted comments like this. First warning. Please respect everyone.
