Yamaha Genos/Genos 2 Forum • Re: Upgrade Dilemma - SX700 or Genos 2?

I think that there is little point in waiting for a successor to the SX900 at the moment. This successor will probably cost about as much as a used Genos1, but if Yamaha stays true to itself, a Genos1 will be able to do a lot more (76 quality keys, aftertouch, SA2, better samples, ...).

Not much choice, actually, as the sx900's are sold out (in North America anyway). And yes, I'm expecting the same as you are; roughly the same price as a used G1.

@Marco66 no, you really can't. I mean, I *could* upload a video, but you won't *really* experience the difference. You need to try in a shop, but i've no idea how far away the closest shop to you is. I *have* uploaded recordings of the same midi file on G2 and PA5x, can you hear any difference there?

@Sonic2000Gr: historically, the sx720 will use the same chipset and sound library as the sx920, but probably with less expansion ram (maybe 512mb?) and probably no VH/vocoder or Audio styles. Sx920 is more of a guess (I usually see these things about 2-3 months ahead of time, but they're not showing us the sx920 before launch... indicative of a very incremental change). So my guess is most or all of the G1 sound library (minus all the S.Art 2 stuff)... which means the potential addition of the resonator guitars, the Kino Strings, and the many, many new warm horns that showed up on G1, *possibly* with stripped down versions of the new ambient drums on G2, hopefully all the non ambient new G2 kits as is, and likely the new Revo reverb (it *does* make a difference).

And likely around 1.5gb of expansion area? Maybe anywhere from 1.25 GB to 1.6 GB
