Yamaha GENOS 76-Key Arranger Digital Workstation Keyboard

Welcome to the new world of Digital Workstations. Genos is the new benchmark in Digital Workstation sound, design, and user experience.

Everything you hear, whether it be the beautiful CFX piano, the lush Kino Strings, or the punchy Revo!Drums, it just blows you away!

Articulation Element Modeling (AEM)

This technology simulates the characteristics of musical instruments. During a performance, the technology sounds appropriate samples, in real-time, according to what and how you play. Samples are smoothly joined and articulated—as would naturally occur on an actual acoustic instrument.

C7 Grand Piano

For the first time in any Yamaha product, the Genos features the newly sampled C7 Grand Piano Voice. It is a great match with Pop/Rock/Jazz and other music.

Revo!Drum/SFX

Revo!Drum Voices recreate the authentic sound of drums. Even when playing the same key multiple times, the sound is always of a different nuance, making it incredibly natural and realistic. Whether you create or perform music, you need to be inspired by your instrument. Genos features a diverse range of content, including 1,710 instrument Voices, 550 accompaniment Styles, 216 arpeggios, and more.

Effects

From Reverb to Distortion, Rotary Speaker to Compressor, Genos boasts unprecedented DSP power. 28 insert effects can be routed freely, making Genos an incredibly versatile production tool. Using the same VCM technology as professional Yamaha mixing consoles, Genos has the tools to create the perfect sound. Not only do the effects sound great, but they look great too—with a stunning graphical user interface.
