Experience Breathtaking Sound

03

The best sound quality ever on a Digital Workstation

Content

Powered by specially developed Yamaha
technology, the sonic quality of every Voice in
Genos is beyond any other Digital Workstation
you've ever played. Everything you hear, whether
it be the beautiful CFX piano, the lush Kino Strings
or the punchy Revo Drums, just blows you away!

AEM

AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) technology
simulates the characteristics of musical
instruments. During a performance the technology
sounds appropriate samples, in real time,
according to what and how you play. Samples
are smoothly joined and articulated—as would
naturally occur on an actual acoustic instrument.

Expand your music

Continually expand the onboard content of your
Genos by creating and installing your own custom
or purchased packs. The scope of possibilities for
new sounds and styles is virtually unlimited.

Yamaha Expansion Manager

YEM is PC/Mac software designed to manage the
Expansion contents for Yamaha keyboards, and
even enables you to create your own new sounds
and loops.

Integrated ash memory

Genos includes 1.8GB of user ash memory with

high speed reading/writing for your own Voices.

Revo!Drum/SFX Kits

Revo!Drum Kits recreate the most authentic
sound of drums. Even when playing the same key

multiple times, the sound is always of a dierent

nuance, making it incredibly natural and realistic.

Vocal Harmony &
Synth Vocoder

You can automatically apply various Vocal

Harmony eects to your voice as you sing, or you

can use the Synth Vocoder to craft the unique
characteristics of your voice onto synthesizer and
other sounds.

Whether you create or perform music, you
need great content. Genos features a diverse
range of content, including 1,710 instrument
sounds, 550 backing patterns, 216 arpeggios
and more.

Eects

From Reverb to Distortion, Rotary Speaker to
Compressor, Genos boasts unprecedented DSP power.
Using the same VCM technology as Yamaha's
professional high-end mixing consoles, Genos has
the tools to create the perfect sound. Not only do the

eects sound

great, they
look great
too—with
a stunning
graphical
user
interface.
