Compare Yamaha Genos 1 vs Genos 2: Piano, String, Drum

Genos1 on bottom
Genos2 on top
I made this video to compare the sound between Genos 1 and Genos 2. The CFX piano from Genos 2 seems to have some dynamic and midrange frequency issues. When striking hard on Genos1, CFX makes a hammer action sound, but CFX on Genos 2 does not even strike very hard.

I heard your video from start to finish and I say Genos 1 sounds the best. I, myself, own a Genos 1.

[heroknaderi]

Agreed. I think the genos 2 voices were altered by Yamaha . Genos 1 of course sounds like a masterpiece

[AllanKeyboardMusic]

Very useful and informative video. Good comparison and thanks for sharing.

[richiriboldi]

both great! I own Genos 1! and it's awesome! I'll upgrade to Genos3

[FMSoundtracks]

In my life, I've always found that feature that convinced me to buy the next model (at least for my use), and I owned from the Tyros2 up to the Genos1. The exception came with the Genos2, which I decided NOT to buy and stay with my Genos1. I have nothing more to say.

i had sell my Genos 1 there are 2 years ago and now i bought Genos2 and i like

We should expect, that more sample memory makes the sound more lively and natural, but sometimes it doesn't work.
There is a piano module, shaped like a triangle, price about 500 $ and with 4 GB memory and the piano sound isn't good.

[hoangtruong]

I prefer to play Genos 1 than Genos 2 because the sounds of Genos1 are richer, more sparkling and glitter than Genos 2. In my opinion, the sound of Genos1 is similar to Roland. The sound of Genos 2 has a strong "Yamaha" identity.
What do you think?

[retroron]

Wow that’s a bit harsh. He seems to be addressing the same sounds as a comparison and this makes sense to me. These are both excellent keyboards.

[hoangtruong]

Playing with Genos 2 on sound system today, sound like the horn speakers died. I don't know what happened. Could be flaws caused by firmware.

[PedroCaetano]

Curiosamente, gostei mais dos sons do Genos 1. No Genos 2 os sons não parecem tão naturais, soam um pouco "enlatados". Excelente informação veiculada no vídeo. Obrigado pela partilha. 👏👏👏

[whopaul]

What kind of stands are you using for both your keyboards? I also have the genos one and genos two, but it can't find a good setup to have them both in place like yours. What are you using to hold your keyboards

[LeighWilbraham]

Why are you not showcasing the new piano sounds? Absolutely makes no sense to compare the SAME sounds... Ridiculous

[nuccionap]

Salve, ormai le tastiere seguono la scia degli smatphone, bisognerà aspettare la genos 5 per vedere qualche significativa differenza.
Un saluto a tutti

[大力王-mf]

the biggest technical inprovement is to print a 2 on a back of genos. well done, Yamaha

[pianonhatbao]

Genos2 nhìn mẫu mã thì đẹp
nhưng Sound & Style k có hơn gì nhiều so ve Genos

[sternsa]

You didn't have the same parameters The sliders on Genos 2 were lower than Genos 1

[hoangtruong]

Seem Genos 2 EQ at default different from Genos 1, Genos 2 lack of bass
