For me, if the Yamaha PSR-A5000 has voice guide will purchase it. Saying 
that Yamaha Genos/PSR-SX/A series aren't accessible is just an excuse 
for not bying it.

I got a Roland Juno-DS61 a few days ago. It's a lot less expensive and 
fancy than some of the keyboards I hear about here, but it still has a 
pretty wide range of sounds and expansions available. I haven't 
started really deep diving into the menus; I got it less than a week 
ago and work is busy, but I know it will work with QWS and I'm 
certainly excited to play around with it beyond just exploring the 
sounds. I also have Komplete and that whole big setup, but it's 
sometimes nice to have a keyboard you can just pull out and compose 
on. I found I was doing way too little music production because the 
process got too complex. When I knew all my buttons, menus, program 
numbers and bank numbers by heart, I got stuff done really quickly. 
I'm hoping to go back to basics and start doing that again. Basically, 
my advice is don't get rid of the things that "just work".

Thanks. That’s good to know.

Do you use it with QWS at all?  If so, how well does that work?  If I 
get it someday, my primary use for it would be with QWS and Logic Pro.

QWS List AW: SV: AW: AW: New keyboard time

[Niklas Rittinghaus]

Hi Brian,

like with so much devices, it depends on what you want to do. What makes me a 
bit disapointed is that the voice guide function don’t seem to get updates in 
regards to new functions and that could be possible without much work.
So be it, I thought first if I shouldn’t sell my genos at first and buy a 
tyros, but than i kept going with genos because for me, the sounds were better.
But yeah, they could have made so much more with the function. Fun fact, the 
voice guide got updates, that means, with new Firmware versions, the voice 
guide could say those, perhaps mainly to let you know where you are. But in 
Terms of new Features or more accessibility, Nothing goes Forward. Very sad. 
Sure, I have a lot of outboard gear with wich I can compensate a lot of Things 
the genos doesn’t offer Access wise but that shouldn’t be the Intention of such 
a function like voice guide.
So it depends on what you want and if the better Sound is worth it for you or 
not.
An example: The Expansion packs area isn’t accessible on the genos. Because I 
have no expansions, that was no Problem. For another friend, who had a tyros 
previously, it was bad because he couldn’t use any packs on the genos.
Like I said, it is good to have the feature if you have the genos, but you have 
to know that the expectations shouldn’t be to high. If I had to decide with 
todays Knowledge, I think I would Maybe buy the tyros I have to say, especially 
if it is the only Instrument or gear you have, so you can’t get inaccessible 
functions from somewhere else.

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

Re: QWS List AW: New keyboard time

[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.

Re: QWS List AW: New keyboard time

[Marco Oros]

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!

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?

Re: QWS List AW: New keyboard time

[Seth Lowman]

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!

Re: QWS List New keyboard time

[Luis Carlos González Moráles]

I guess I'm on the same side, however much different: The next keyboard 
shall be a Yamaha PSR-A5000. The previous yamaha keyboards that I have 
(PSR-S710 and PSR-A2000) has 10? and 5 years respectively when I was 
using them. I know it wouldn't like it since it has touchscreen, however 
an accessibility attempt is on the way. I'm shure the related models 
(PSR-SX900/700) have that feature, however the price kinda a little 
expensive? I need to check.
