Yamaha GENOS

No Hammond pojechał szeroko...

Tymczasem rumors are as follows:

- 9 linear potentiometers and 6 rotary potentiometers (all can be used to change in real time a number of parameters, something like the Yamaha Motif or Yamaha Montage series, or the Korg M3

- not all mother clams Korg Oasis, a project that, unfortunately, Korg abandoned it because they did not sell as expected, most likely due to the extremely prickly price - about 8,000 euros);

- new tone generator: AWM2, instead of AWM, as before (let's see what the system brings)

- 10 buttons (instead of at Registration bank;

- A COMPLETE NEW sequencer that comes with 16 tracks that can be both midi and audio, as desired by the user, turning a single midi track into audio track; you can say 10 midi and 6 audio tracks or whatever you want; you can only re-register a part of an audio track from measure ... 10, say, to measure ... 16, let's say, not affecting the rest of the measures in that audio track, just like you worked in the midi sequencer;

- play, record patterns in Motif, with the note that the new pattern will be able to contain audio files in the loop; you will be able to record as a pattern directly from the mixed audio-midi sequencer I was talking about above; You can also copy patterns as tracks in style;

- the new style format will recognize, create, edit, import both midi tracks and audio loops; the style creator will recognize the old Yamaha standard style format, ie STY, SFF1 and SFF2;

- it will have a chord track and a loop chord (like the Korg PA4 and PA700 / 1000), but it has an interesting thing: once you choose a song, you choose a style, go to style with the chord track on and the rhythm will change the accords on its own accord according to the harmony of the song (that is, you do not bother to get the agreement, that he knows exactly what agreements to catch); interesting concept, to see it at work, when it appears and especially to what would be useful to us;

- 3 pitch tones, up to 4 simultaneous tones;

- will have some of the piano on Montage;

- each live tone will have a separate effect for each tone, but the ensemble tones (first appeared on Tyros 5) will have 4 distinct effects, one on each of the four parts of the tone;

- drum tracks will have 8 track effects, max 2 midi tracks plus one audio loop track per style / variation; each percussion element will have adjustable indebted one drum relative to each other: giving that percussion element in both halftone and semiton, volume, panning, reverb levels, chorus, DSP (effect only as insertion on that drum) , filter cutoff, filter resonance, Attack, Decay 1 and Decay 2; you can also replace any percussion element in a given style with any percussion element in another drum kit or audio wave;

- Integration with the iPad, go to the room with the iPad and adjust your style, song, tone, etc. from the tablet (if this is true, it will be a revolution for the general sound, for who knows how to adjust the sound, of course).
