PSR-SX900 Styles for Genos

PSR-SX900 introduced loads of really great new Styles. These are now available as a free download for all Genos owners! It’s important to note that this isn’t Yamaha simply copying and pasting – the styles have been completely remixed for Genos to take full advantage of SA2 and Revo! Drums.

You can download both updates here

AEM - Articulation Element Modeling

The incredible sound quality on the Yamaha Genos is due largely to the AEM technology it utilises. AEM actively accurately simulates every characteristic of the instrument type you've chosen, in real time, based on exactly what and how you play(!). Each and every sound sample is smoothly joined and articulated, exactly as it would naturally occur on an actual acoustic instrument.

Similar to the AEM technology used on the acoustic instrument samples, when it comes to drums/SFX, you have Revo!Drum! These voices are so accurate that you can hit the same key multiple times and each hit will produce different nuances in the sound, akin to how a real drum would sound when hit. Incredible!

The sheer volume of content on the Yamaha Genos is mindblowing. You get a diverse range to get you started - 1,710 instrument sounds, 550 backing patterns, 216 arpeggios, and more. The content alone would be enough to inspire your creativity from the moment you start playing it.

Whether your effect of choice is Reverb, Distortion, Phase, Compression, or even just pin-point EQ adjustments, the Yamaha Genos can deliver - the inbuilt unprecedented DSP power is second to none. The Genos utilises exactly the same VCM technology as Yamaha's high-end, professional-grade mixing consoles, and features all of the tools you'll need to create the perfect sound.

In addition to the standard DSP effects, the Genos also features a powerful range of Vocal Harmony and Synth Vocoder effects, allowing you to craft the unique characteristics of your own voice onto synths and other sounds.

With all of these features and many more besides, it's understandable why the Genos has been creating such a stir since it's first public appearance. Pretty soon it will be the "Must-Have" workstation keyboard for professional producers and performers alike, so don't delay and order yours from us today.
