WHAT’S NEW?
MORE THAN 1900 VOICES AND 800 STYLES
With over 1900 of the highest quality voices and 800 Styles with One Touch Settings covering a vast array of musical genres, you will immediately be inspired to play your favourite songs or even create new musical ideas and compositions. Over 200 Styles are brand new images, with all existing Styles being fully upgraded to use new voices and effects.
STYLE DYNAMICS CONTROL
For the first time in an Arranger Workstation the energy and dynamics of all Styles, including User Styles, can be adjusted using a simple Live controller. Whether you want your backing band to play at a soft pianissimo level, a hard fortissimo level or anything in between, the choice is now yours.
AMBIENT DRUMS
Drums are the backbone of any rhythm section. With the new Ambient Drums and using a single Live controller, you can choose anything between a punchy, dry, direct drum sound toa more distant, reflective, ambient room sound, providing endless possibilities for your Style playback.
REVELATION REVERB
In Arranger Workstations, reverb is used on Voices, Styles, MIDI Songs, Multi-Pads and the Mic Input, which is why introducing REVelation Reverb from Steinberg has such a big impact on the sound of Genos2. REVelation is extremely high resolution, resulting in a transparent, natural sound.
LEGENDARY FM SYNTHESIS
Genos2 features a dual engine tone generator with, not only AWM technology, but now also FM synthesis. FM has a rich, dynamic sound and powered Yamaha’s legendary DX7, an instrument which defined the sound of the 1980s.
