Yamaha Genos 2 Arranger Workstation Keyboard

Several years ago, Yamaha released its flagship Genos digital arranger workstation. It was revolutionary, and a large number of songwriters, composers, and keyboard players embraced it. With more amazing updated sounds, accompaniment styles, and effects; new and inventive features; and a slew of technical advancements, the second-generation Genos2 now takes the mantle and becomes the 800-pound gorilla of performance arranger workstations. The Yamaha Genos2 is a beast even though its real weight is a gig-friendly 31 pounds. With its unmatched sample quality, innovative styles, and professional-grade connection, Genos2 is the pinnacle of keyboards for performance and composing. Extensive built-in MIDI and audio recording capabilities combined with smooth DAW integration make the Yamaha Genos2 the only keyboard you’ll need to ace a big gig.
