Yamaha Genos Vs Yamaha Tyros 5 Quick Comparison - A&C Hamilton

Justin plays and compares a few similar sounds and styles on the Yamaha Genos and Yamaha Tyros 5 so you can get to hear the comparison between the two products. Everything you hear is factory sound so no custom tweaks or false representation. We recommend listening through great quality speakers or headphones to hear clearly the differences in the products.

When I saw the price, I found that the road to becoming an artist is endless!

[bernhardschuermann-wonderf]

I have played Tyros and Genos. Both are great instruments.

[followyourpassion]

One noticeable difference is that the whole keybed on Genos is wobbling, on Tyros it is not. Can someone explain, please?

[MartinAHLoyd]

Both keyboards, we are told, are played with their factory default settings. Good quality headphones (and ears, for that matter!) reveal that the Tyros5's global factory reverb setting is noticably "dryer" than that of the Genos, which may well affect a listener's subjective assessment. But let's be fair, both are quite incredible sounding musical instruments - the skill of the musician plays a very significant part in how good a performance sounds. Or to put it another way... Peter Baartmans on a 1980's Portatone would still waaay outclass any attempt by me on the very, very latest kit!! ;)

I did have tyros2 then years later i skip to tyros5, now since one year the genos 😊
I only can say it became from good to very best now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Genos definitely sounds crisper to me but both these keyboards are top notch.

[Phantawalker]

Very good comparison! They both sounds great. But I like the sound of tyros more after playing about few hours on genos. The main problem of Genos is heavy compression (and its not about master compressor) that you can't turn off. The dynamic range on tyros is incredible. For jazz, orchestral and instrumental music tyros is perfect, but for electronic genres Genos is better with his compression and new sliders/knobs. Also I personally just hate touch screens (and they also remove half of buttons because of it!). The new S.Art2 voices are good (flugelhorn especially!), built-in expansion memory is perfect, 76 keys is nice, revodrums are good also. But sounds of tyros is more balanced IMHO, especially for jazz or cinematic/film/game type of music. For more modern/electronic music Genos is really better.

The Genos obviously has a higher quality and bigger sample library. It also has a better d to a converter. Sound wise the preferred instrument is a matter of taste.

[fredashay]

Is it just a difference in the stands, but I notice the Genos flexes and wobbles when you press the keys, but the Tyros stays solidly in place. Is the newer Genos made a little too flimsy?

[tomschaffner]

I’ll keep my tyros5. Good. Demo.🎹🎹👏🏼👏🏼

[anythingeyesay]

Easily the Yamaha. Perfect for a pensioners bungalow. It's the Revo drums and the clarity of the sounds. I'm looking forward to the day I'll be able to afford a second hand Genos in, say, 50 years. That is, if I'm still alive!! Of course, by then, keyboards will probably have built in teas-made's and toasters. You can't beat a nice cup of tea at the end of a tiring set. I'd like to see one bolted to the front of a Mobility Scooter, so you could go shopping while jamming.

It is a little bit like a comparison of Heco and Canton. Heco with a warm sounding, Canton for clarity and a HiFi feel that hurts your ears more.

[instrumentalistjade]

i played both. Genous has new features but the tyros is still the go to arranger

[ernestoarellano]

The genos have more beautiful sound on the tweeter aspect and clarity .I think you need to buy a good mixer that have an output the same with Genos if you are using Tyros 5 . Although they have small difference in sound but on the price, the Genos is very expensive

[amisimal]

I don´t know which one is best but I do know that the Genos is much more expensive.

[aimeguthleben]

Thank's vor the sharing.
Congratulations

[brankojerbic]

Seems they both play fantastic lift music. OTS with "Doors Closing" & "Doors Opening" but guess which style ?

[richiriboldi]

the Genos now that I have it being a new era flagship with a completely new design! and the sounds are much more beautiful! and full of innovative features!
to follow Genos2 but I move on to Genos3

[Sinauxx]

the tyros is more soft than genos but anyway both are great

[gingerladyaubern]

I saw the Genos up close at Rimmers Music in Blackpool last week - Very good but the T5 still does it for me. That said, the owner did say the Genos was retailing at £1000 UNDER its true value. Explain I asked...He said "I'm not allowed to tell you why" !! any guesses ??
