More Than 1900 Voices
& 800 Styles
'The result is a highend professional production'With over 1900 of the highest quality voices and 800 Styles with
One Touch Settings covering a vast array of musical genres, you will
immediately be inspired to play your favourite songs or even create
new musical ideas and compositions. Over 200 Styles are brand
new, with all existing Styles being fully upgraded to use new voices
and effects, including FM tone generation and the ability to use
Ambient Drums and Style Dynamics control. The result is a highend professional production.
One of the most important sounds for any keyboard player is the
Piano, so we have not only added new Pianos, but also reprocessed
existing Pianos to a much higher quality. The CFX, being Yamaha's
flagship grand piano, now has more dynamic layers, 88 keys sampling
and double length samples compared to its predecessor. In addition,
we can choose from a Character Grand, which is a German 1980s
well played-in piano, giving a more edgy yet rounded sound, perfect
for Pop and Jazz music. The U1 Upright being Yamaha's top end
Upright piano has been tuned to provide a contemporary flavour for
modern Pop songs. If it's a more cinematic sound you're looking for,
you can try the rich melancholy sound of the new Felt Piano.
SA2 voices remain cutting edge in terms of their playability and
realism, providing articulations and legato joins unparalleled in any
hardware keyboard instrument. There are even more to choose from
in Genos2, covering not only the full orchestral palette but also more
ethnic flavours such as Duduk, Shakuhachi and Celtic Flute perfect
for Movie scores.
Packed with a Multitude of Exciting New Features
STYLE DYNAMICS CONTROL For the first time in an Arranger Workstation the energy and dynamics of all Styles, including User Styles, can be adjusted using a simple Live controller. Whether you want your backing band to play at a soft pianissimo level, a hard fortissimo level or anything in between, the choice is now yours.
AMBIENT DRUMSWith the new Ambient Drums and using a single Live controller, you can choose anything between a punchy, dry, direct drum sound to a more distant, reflective, ambient room sound, providing endless possibilities for your Style playback. Drums are the backbone of any rhythm section so to have this level of control of the Drum sound will really enhance your playing experience.
REVELATION REVERBReverb is often overlooked but we experience it around us everyday. In Arranger Workstations, reverb is used on Voices, Styles, MIDI Songs, Multi-Pads and the Mic Input, which is why introducing REVelation Reverb from Steinberg has such a big impact on the sound of Genos2. REVelation is extremely high resolution, resulting in a transparent, natural sound, making it the perfect partner for an Arranger Workstation where the reverb must work across a wide range of Voices, Styles and even vocals.
'Elevate Your Music To A New Level'
BIG, BRIGHT AND CLEAR
DISPLAYSAt the centre of Genos2's operation is the large
9-inch touch screen which is now brighter,
includes an anti-reflective coating and has
been tilted an additional 5 degrees towards
the player. Additionally, the sub-display now
includes selectable light and dark modes. So
whether you're performing indoors, outdoors or
under stage lighting, the Genos2 displays will
be clearly visible.
CONTROLLERS,
NOW WITH LEDSThe knobs and sliders are a convenient way
to control many aspects of your performance.
Genos2's updated Live Control surface now
has LEDs to indicate, at a glance, the position
of controls, which now also include a 'catch'
function, reducing the risk of unintended
operation during performance.
