Hi Woody! I love how you can just fire the keyboard up and play whatever style comes first. You have a knack for improvising and no doubt, you’re an accomplished musician. Well done! I also like the styles you’ve demonstrated - the instrumentation is tasteful and the voices have a lot of atmosphere and movement to them. “Intricate” is the word to describe it! That being said, Jan’s dance pack that you demonstrated a couple of years ago on your then-PSR-S970 sounded simply spectacular. I still haven’t heard anything better to this day. Cheers mate!
thanks for the kind words, yes, it is tricky to fire up unknown styles and sounds and just play! agreed, jan's work is spectacular and still takes some beating!
Brilliant demo Woody , Most of the EDM on the Genos 2 sound a little dry and static , you should try revoicing the styles and add reverb and mess around with the effects and pump up the bass , You could also load your EDM expansion pack from Styles2PSR and make the Genos really thump a drum and bass with your own melodies .... Grab a bucket of tea and give it ago ....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
with tweaking or reselection of voices and a little musical creativity - i think theres plenty enough - sound engine wise - in even the GENOS 1 or PSR SX - to make it less cliche or "same same"
I remember jumpstyle music. It was quite popular in the netherlands ca. 2005-2006. It was kind of an kids kraze at the time. The Genos 2 totally nails the characteristic style with the side-chained saw sound. It was kind of an obnoxious genre (by my classification that is😁). At least the genre promoted an active lifestyle because it involved literal jumping up and down in rapid succession as a dance move.
You really ought to work a cruise....isn't there a River Cruise or Weekend Sea Cruise near you where you could trade entertainment services for a big room for you and the family. And that other comment about Kidz Bop production, you just need to start auditioning people....
Hi Woody. You are very good at improvising. I had genos 1 for a while and started to explore vocal harmony. Especially vocoder as i cant sing :). I found ”vocoder mono” in vocoder harmony tab page 2, that i put some eco and reverb on, disabled right 1 2 and 3 and it sounded really good and gave a new dimension playing. I have tried it with some dance styles but im sure it can be used in other style categories also. Can you try it and maybe make a video about it to give inspiration. I havent found any videos about it on youtube so far.
thank you! there is a guy called Danne who is doing some great vocal demos on YT, you'll have to search. I will keep your request in mind when I need a new G2 topic, thanks again!
Imagine a firmware updste for GENOS2 - OR/AND MONTAGE M - that effectively made these beasts into Komplete Kontrol or Nektar (w Nektarine plugin) replacements! especially given .... MIDI 2.0 !
Dream Dance was pretty good, but still doesn't punch the way it should. Yamaha really needs to make a pack for us Uplifting Trance guys. Something that sounds like "Robert Miles - Children (Trance Arts & Colin James mix)"
@@h.d.b.8414 There was a guy who made phenomenal Trance styles on YT for the Tyros 5. I only have a Tyros 4 and he said the styles would not be compatible with my board, sadly. I can't find him anymore. Maybe he stopped doing it. His stuff was phenomenal. Those styles literally sounded like something from Robert Nickson, or Nitrous Oxide. Yamaha, as usual, is only thinking about the "party" dance styles. The Motif had some really good Trance as well. I guess they think the arranger market only cares about "party" sounding stuff. To this date, I have seen zero reason to upgrade to Genos from my T4.
Still got this cheezy plasticky feeling when hearing those backing tracks. And I don’t know why, as the music’s EDM oriented which would allow for bland repetitiveness in its own right. Still, I’m hanging on as I love Woody’s vids, hoping I’ll see the light someday. Meanwhile, I just can’t get myself to ordering a Genos because of that cheeziness.
thanks for showing the genos 2,honestly im not impressed wi G2 ,I tried it in person at the store but coming from Genos 1 to upgrade to Genos 2 Im not seeing any good reason to spend over 4 thousand tfor he upgrade, Upgrades are very incremental to be honest But everyone to his own
If Yamaa got their act together, purchased the company DREAMTONICS ( Synthesizer V ) and released a firmware update that was more composer/producer/DAW friendly - this beast could make for a great first-cut EDM song producing machine. People over-rate the actual creativity going on in EDM - there tons of cookie cutter copycat stuff going on in that genre as in everything else- and the GENOS can perfectly well be a potential song-starter ( or even firestarter if you will.... ( ill get my coast ) ) - even given it might only provide a condensed collection of styles.
Consider yourself lucky you don't know what Reggaeton is, people around where I live blast it at full deafening volumes to "dance". Basically it's latin Rap/Hip-Hop
4.5k for edm styles which frankly embarrass the Genre. These are nothing like True EDM. Iv never understood why they dont ask Manuel Schleiss to partner with Vengeance and have Proper EDM styles. 🥴🥴💥💥 instead of using this absolute rubbish.
yeah, would love to see yamaha do collabs like that! but let's face it, EDM producers are using ableton, serum, massive etc, never arranger keyboards. this is intended just for casual players wanting to perform with approximations of EDM styles I guess.
@@WoodyPianoShack fair point but nowadays the Genos should be able to,if a user wants to, choose a style and actually have it sound like EDM etc. At least then the price can be justified. Perhaps a Nexus or VPS avenger synth would be welcome 🤗.
The first demo sounded like a corporate PowerPoint presentation type beat 😂
🤣😂🤣
lol, that is hilarious!

Sounds a little bit like it’s been designed to write K-Pop… from about 20 years ago!
A strange and interesting machine. :)
Really enjoying your coverage of the Genos 2 and arrangers in general! I am learning piano and imagine I might get one someday. Looks like fun.
good to have someting to aim for, best wishes for your musical journey
It's a very polite and sanitised type of EDM but not completely dreadful. The next Kidz Bop album might be the first to be made on a Genos 2!
yes, that is a good summary i agree
More high st wine bar than Hacienda! @@WoodyPianoShack

There are some nods to patches from the CS1X in the backing tracks so it has potential @@nonchai

14:59 - that sounds inspired by the tune Sing It Back by Moloko and also has elements of Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Bextor.
That keyboard sounds fantastic well played
Song at 0:30 Jessie J - Domino.
Nice playing.
Thought - those 11 intro-section-fill-ending buttons could be reasonably considered equivalent to SCENES in Ableton.... mull on that... Yama-folk..
Nothing can beat the real Woody 😄
Now you can headline electric daisy festival!
The Ultimate Muzak generator!
Great demo, thank you Woody.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Hello, I own Tyros 5 for 10 years now. Does Genos 2 still has the Multipads?
For sure it has much more multi-pads than previous Tyos.
You really ought to work a cruise....isn't there a River Cruise or Weekend Sea Cruise near you where you could trade entertainment services for a big room for you and the family. And that other comment about Kidz Bop production, you just need to start auditioning people....
These sets totally remind of a elderly cruise trip.
Where is Dat Fiya Yamaha???

Thanks for answer 🙂.
“90s Dream House” is fire!! 🔥🔥🔥
Would these styles work on SX900?
no, they are utilising sounds and effects not available in the PSR. but you might find some close-ish styles on the 900.
Totally enjoyable... thanks Woody!
Not bad woody ❤
The SynthElectro style has distinct Swedish House Mafia vibes.
So far I am young and better keyboard player better than me is you sir.
Keep your good work and the second style song is despacito
Thanks again for the inspiration.
hey there, thanks again! just spent about $3000 on a bunch of new instruments so hopefully there's something in their for you! Every little bit helps!
@@WoodyPianoShack Yeah, no doubt….gotta figure out how to get you a lot…need to write a hit for somebody…
Hi woody dj styles is not available in genos 2 ?
good question, don't know, probably replaced by the chord looper presets which does similar.
Imagine a firmware updste for GENOS2 - OR/AND MONTAGE M - that effectively made these beasts into Komplete Kontrol or Nektar (w Nektarine plugin) replacements! especially given .... MIDI 2.0 !
You are a (not so) hidden arranger admirer :D
You can play Despacito at the second style too.
Nice 😊 great playing.

I agree - thats the problem with all arrangers - they call it edm,trance,techno - but all sounds mors dance schlager or ballermann style -

it's not for everybody and there are other (cheaper) ways to make amazing EDM music luckily!

wtf? answer no, not even an 808,909,kit for the first 2 and thats as far as i went

1:56 i expected Despacito😅
EDM styles here are def. superior to PA5X

Sorry woody,but if I played this stuff on my home keyboard I would have to take a break to go throw up in my bathroom
