![]() There is always a lot of discussion on forums whether the latest model is sufficiently improved to be worth upgrading and that gives the very misleading impression that single model upgrades from the predecessor are the main driver for sales. There are a couple of releases which may have generated more of a stir than most, but even then I doubt single step upgrades from the predecessor are a big proportion of the total. We dont have much information on the proportion of single model upgrades to overall sales, but my suspicion is that it’s not huge on average. They may be upgrading from a much lower grade or older keyboard, changing brands, entering the arranger market for the first time, re-entering the market after a gap, or even replacing a worn or damaged instrument. Many people - I would even say most people - buying a new arranger are not upgrading from the predecessor. I also expect Korg PA4X owners might come to the Yamaha fold.Īs usual, I will not be surprised future Genos2 owners will tell the world the Genos2 is so much better than the Genos. Like before, I believe the Genos2 will first of all be bought by present Genos owners and probably also by Tyros owners. The present Genos owners seem to be very happy with their upgrade due to a better sound, a touch screen, the larger internal memory, the colour and the weight of the Genos.Įven the new Genos price has convinced many players to upgrade, I guess. Most Genos customers are ex Tyros players. ), I have been told.Īpparently the Genos is a commercial success for Yamaha. They are expecting more Genos features ( e.g. New arranger keyboards do not convince S770 and S970 players enough to upgrade.Īs far as I know present S770 and S970 owners prefer to wait for the new S775 and S975 successor. S775 and S975 are not always such a commercial success. On the other hand, when Genos II arises, some current Genos owners will say "At last -that's the keyboard I was after since my birth" Yes, Genos has "real" buttons, however it has another flaw: too expensive for me ![]() Again, usually we get the best we can afford. In both cases, when looking after successor, we pay most attention to avoid "flaws" our current keyboard has. S670 is premium keyboard in this regard.īecause there might be things we just can't live with (see above) or, when we exploited capabilities of keyboard we currently have. And because there's no "click", it can (and does) happen, keyboard recognizes single push as pushed twice. But all buttons are made of rubber (imagine $130 Casio) -because of that, buttons "wobble" freely when pressed. ![]() Yeah, nobody mentioned that important fact on web.Īlmost double priced S775 however, has great display. And also having such low resolution, it's almost unusable for working (arranging) with it. because display on S670 is just darn too small. Still, just after few months I decided to buy S775. Yes, I was very happy with S670 capabilities and quality. The fact, that S670 is bottom of the line Yamaha arranger, didn't bother me at all -I'm not a snob and price was just perfect. I had an idea of what is "good enough for me" and so, my friend Youtube convinced me to get PSR-S670. After a long break I decided to buy keyboard again.
