Re: QWS List AW: New keyboard time

2021-05-27 Thread Florian Beijers 
Curious to hear about the Genos as well. I know there is the Voice Guide
feature, which ...works, but I'm curious how well it works. The big issue I
had with the Motif line of keyboards is that there were such a huge amount
of button sequences to remember to get anything done, and if there is any
TTS my thinking is that that should be less necessary, but from what I've
read about it the feature sounds somewhat clunky. So I'm curious how usable
it is :)

I am aware of the touch screen, but Yamaha alto came up with something called 
voice guide to help remedy that issue. Problem is, I can’t get a solid answer 
about how well it works. That’s why I was hoping that since Nicholas owns it, 
he could tell me more. 

God bless!

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!
