That is in fact, simply wrong. The genos has a voice guide and that makes it
accessible to a certain Degree.
Set: The accessibility of the genos is more Basic than I thought at first. You
can select styles and sounds, make simple Recordings and you can select Presets
of the voice harmonizer and Vocoder from what I know. And it is not such a big
Problem, since you can navigate the touch screen with the voice guide. In
Addition, the genos has even knobs for transpose, tempo fills Intros and
endings and some keys for accessing some functions, like the accompagnement and
such. So, it is simply not true that the genos is inaccessible.
That are the Things what I use the voice guide for and yes, it has it’s
limitations, but Keep in mind that yamaha has the only one solution for us to
navigate the screen and and use the genos to a certain Point, other companys
have Nothing.
I was a Little bit disapointed, since yamaha could have made more out of this
Concept, but I use the Basics and because of the touch screen the voice guide
is better than Nothing, since you even know where you are at the Moment.

Genos is not accessible. There is touch screen and It is big problem for the
blind people.

Nicolas, how accessible is the Genos? I have been considering one for a long
time, but the accessibility issue and the prices have been my biggest hurdles.
I have used Nord keyboards in a live setting for years. The college I went to
had a Nord Stage 2EX, and I found it to be not very menu driven at all. In
fact, just about every tweak you’ll ever want to make to your sound is right on
the front panel at the touch of a knob or a button, with maybe a few exceptions
like transpose. I especially loved it’s electric pianos and organs, as well as
some of the synthesizer patches. The pianos were very nice as well, and with a
little EQ, you can make them fit your playing situation. However, I’ve never
used them in the studio, or hooked up midi cables to them, so I’m not really
sure how well they work with a DAW or with QWS. They have the options of
standard din ports and midi over USB, so they seem fairly flexible as far as
that goes.
God bless!

Hi,
i have the yamaha genos, a Roland BK-5 wich is relatively simple to use, and
the Technics KN7000, wich is old but has even today, a unique and good Sound in
my opinion.
Best regards

I am interested in new keyboards / pianos as well.
Wonder of any qws user on this list is playing nord keyboards / pianos?
Love my nord elektro 3 but it is kind of difficult to operate when you
are blind. For example:
you need to use a menu function to transpose.
However I love the sound of the keyboard and the weight of the nice wata
keys.
Anyone else in to nord produkts?
Vincent.
