Genos 2 - Making dance music with Style Creator and Multipads

- In this video I talk about making dance music with Genos 2 and how to use the multipad section to create dance phrases that you can bring into your music. Also I tear into the useless Arpeggiator section that frankly is a waste of space! Cmon Yamaha get the Arpeggiator to work with the rest of the instrument and not just sit there as a token gesture.
Hello Leigh i hope you are fully recoverd soon. Still enjoying all your videos, thank you so much. Love that you show how to get best piano sounds.Take care. Pat.
Always so informative and entertaining.
Thanks Pat x
Hi Leigh, glad you’ve got over the dreaded lurgy. You certainly make the Genos sound great, let’s hope Martin listens and maybe gets the software writers to make a few enhancements.
Good to hear you're feeling better Leigh. Another informative vid, especially the pianos 👍 I sold a couple of cats to buy my new Genos too. For some reason my neighbours weren't very happy about it 🥴
HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Miaow. I hope they are "feline" better now about it.

Thank you to everyone who's watched and commented.
I think you should communicate this ( recording arps and other special functions in multipad ) with YAMAHA. I think they will be very thankful for new ideas, and your channel certainly already has a certain influence and they will listen to something like that cause we talking about an high end instrument , That's why the air is getting thinner and thinner for a large number of new features and quality, which will leading into a new e.g GENOS 3. Even your idea with the multipads . They maybe could do this with firmware update.... but i think they won`t do it, cause its maybe "too big" for that, so its a point for the list of features in future models..... By the way, i was very excited due to the fact that Yamaha "hears" my secret wishes from BEGIN (on Genos 1) to improve the sliders and knobs with leds and lights ! This was the absolute first idea i had in my head, and : now its reality. last day i sold my G1, and soon i will order my G2 - And that, by the way, is also the merit of your channel .... Thanks for many brilliant hours
You make it look so easy … sounds fantastic 😊
Sounds very much like one of my favorite Ibiza dance tracks of all time Saltwater or Offshore ? by Chicane 👋👋 This keyboard certainly has the capability to create huge dance tracks but like you say, you need to work around the niggles and missed out features. Great Video Leigh!!
Welcome back Leigh.
Good to see you fighting fit(ter!) and good to hear some rather strong resemblance to Offshore by Chicane along with related influences, love it! 😊
You got it - well spotted.
@@LeighWilbraham classic track Leigh, spotted it as soon as I heard the first note of the melody played! Hoping to get myself a Genos2 this year to have a go myself, last arranger I had was a YAMAHA PSS-680 as a teenager, lol
Sounds really great and impressive ! It doesn't need really much. Regarding the MP recording: there are so many things missing here (quantize, ...). It would be soooo powerful, if this would be a 'real' recorder
Wow Leigh, what a great video, thank you.
Os chineses e japoneses criadores e funcionários da fábrica Yamaha até devem estar de olhos em bico com estes edits / pads / sounds / etc ….
Learn Yamaha . ❤😂😅
Hi Leigh, I love your tutorials. Thanks to you, I will buy Genos2 in the near future. Could you make a video on how to make a backup?
finally i purchased my genos 2 with a music stand and a pair of HS7 with stands and 3 pedals time will show if i need a yamaha subwoofer all sound can be counterbalanced with genos 2 internal equaliser it gave the genos 2 more deep bass and treble i followed your advice dont by the stander genos speekers they are ok have playtested them but myHS7 with some EQ ADJUSTMENT is better later to night im gona download or pay for choir pack and church organ
Take a look at www.patreon.com/genosclub there’s packs to download as part of your membership.
Thanks for this video Leigh!…..I’m looking at buying a Genos any day now, but needed to hear if it would be able to make more modern styles and music……it’s a sod about the Arpeggiator/Multi Pads, but surely can be fixed in future update?…..as long as I can record modern drums and utilise classic sounds….I’m sure I can have fun making up my own Chillout/Ambient…JMJ….etc….thanks.
I am 92 and would love to play. Could you show how the one finger cords work and what you can do with them. Do they work with the aranger?
Hi Leigh,
try Arpeggiator and press 'hold'. I think with this tool you don't need the multipad for continuous sequence ...
Sorry if I'm wrong, I still have no Genos in Brazil ...
Best regards, Eugen!
It doesn’t work.
Wow really enjoyed that, but, you have several layers put down and the wife shouts that the dinner is ready. How or where do you save it to, until you can come back to it??
It’s great to hear you’re doing much better!!! This is another great explanation video Leigh!!! One question, do the things you save to the registration memory stay there, after you power down the keyboard, or do they have to re-record them each time you power on? Thank you sir!!!
You need to save the registration into the registration banks.
Thank you sir! I just purchased a Sure mic to take the S-975 vocoder out for a spin!!! Woooo Hoooo☝️😎👍
Wow! Great, thanks and Subscribe ❤❤
Hi Leigh, I love these Genos 2 videos. The sound quality is top notch and I've been waiting to see some seriously creative music crafting like this. Everyone just seems to use the Genos like the organ at Blackpool Tower. On thing that baffles me which I don't understand is why you can't quantize your work when you create styles. I've watched other videos with guys making styles and they quantize each part they add. Is the quantize only available in certain areas. It should be everywhere when you are creating parts. Every drum machine and sequencer always had a quantize function. I find it hard to believe that this modern cutting edge keyboard from Yamaha does not have quantization. I've even seen people setting different resolutions of quantization to capture tricky time signatures.
Please look deeper and share your thoughts on this. I feel this is very important because that multi-pad motif you created was not in perfect time. I liked what you were doing with the accents, but they were not nailing the beat.
You can quantise styles. It’s mulipads you can’t.
@@LeighWilbraham Thanks for the clarification. lol that is a crazy decision by Yamaha. Is there any way to create it first with a quantized style, then copy the style to the multi-pad. I wonder how Yamaha created the built in multi-pad parts. There are some really nice acoustic guitar strumming patterns that you can put in a multi-pad to bring in a strumming guitarist as you play and it transposes to what you are playing. Fascinating instrument. I wish I could afford one :)
@@itsjusterthought7941 multipads don’t work in conjunction with styles.
Hi will how you do to have the global knob and mic gains at top high 10 and not having saturation on streaming sound? Do you tweak the mixer gains ?? Or what’s the solution? Thank you 🙏
Hi Leigh, excellent upload thanks , but sorry way too expensive for me , but please can someone one maybe help me out , is there a vst plugin type arranger keyboard of some type , I don't want one to go out and play live , just would like to use one to kick start song writing ideas , thanks
Band in a box is the only option.
@@LeighWilbraham OK thanks will check it out.
This keyboard is a monster need to get one for the moment I have a sx700 what do you think about the sx700..
Sx is a mini monster
Nice. Can you record an arpeggio to midi and then use that file in a multipad? I agree that the connection off arpeggiator to mutipad should haven a one button push.
Sadly not.
Dealer not helping said call yamaha still waiting from Rob most staff said don't know answers to new yet unbelievable some people try 😢
WHICH IS BEST GENOS.2 OR KORG PA5X G PAYNE
Whichever you like the sound of
Do you know how to install and get ad on dx7 packets and bonus playlist
I added the DX7 pack and promptly removed it - didn't like them. I'd much have preferred to have a Montage Voice pack instead.
@LeighWilbraham looking for more playlist files have trouble matching styles to real songs bonus pack is great for me thank you so very much for getting back enjoy you videos thanks for that I have hard time using genos2 bad eyes also dealer no help waiting for help from yamaha over 2 months for help bye for now again thanks
@@dtnsecurity7399 who is your dealer
Hi Leigh, Can't you do an audio multipad to get the arpeggios
I realize they would be a finite length and not follow the chord, so probably a bad suggestion 😂😂😂
It wouldn’t work John. They won’t follow your chords - has to be midi. :-(
@@LeighWilbrahambut your actual Multi Pad 1 also stays at c minor even if you played a f minor…
Is Genos 2 better than Korg pa5x?
Wow nice dear friend 💖💖💖💖
