- Hello everyone.
This Video is the very first Video of mine that I will be sponsored by Bonners Music Superstore where I have been working now for 12 enjoyable years, it is also the very first Video that I have edited myself to make it look much presentable and future Videos will also be edited as well, it is also the very first Video that I now have my very own logo for my Videos I will be uploading in the future!
On this Video, I will be doing a Tutorial Video in which I'll be showing you some of the basic & intermediate functions & features on the Yamaha Genos Keyboard.
For those that have just started off with Genos or are still waiting to get their Keyboard, hopefully this Tutorial Video will help you in getting to know how to use your Genos!
Except for the intro and ending Videos, the Tutorial was recorded using the iPhone 6, the intro and ending was done using the Zoom Q3HD Video Recorder I use in all my other Videos.
Sorry that this Video is quite a long Video, I just wanted to show all the basic & intermediate functions & features that I can, but I will add timer stamps on the description so you can jump to a certain part of the Tutorial!
The software I have used to edit this Video is Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

Hi, Michael, i have only just watched your Genos tutorial 1. You have actually taught me how to use the playlist facilities for the first time in 3years, and i am now overwhelmed. You are such a wonderful teacher, and make everything so easy to understand.
I have tried saving playlists before, and then after a while,they come up as unrecognised.
Thank you so much, from another Michael.
I am now 80yrs old, so you can teach an old dog new tricks..
Hello Michael - Many thanks for this excellent video - Yamaha Global/Europe and UK should be very pleased that you have recorded this and give you a very big pat on the back for savining them doing the job that they should have done years ago. The lack of information provided by Yamaha is disgusting for a keyboard costing this much and they should feel very ashamed. Michael thank you again for helping out newcomers to the Genos
well done Michael! A bit long but very clear explanation video,. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks!
I just bought a keyboard and i so a lot of new things on your video!!!Thank you very much for your job,it's a great job!!!!!
Excellent..Yamaha should hire you.
it was a very helpful tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so well. Excellent!...Best wishes.
Enjoyed your tutorial on the genos and am looking forward to the next one. I hope it will be soon. This seems to be one thing that Yamaha does not do, giving tutorials or videos on how to use their equipment. Even the technicians that I've talked to really don't know all of the angles and they won't tell you how to go about doing things most of the time. You have to hunt through the reference manual and Hope you can find the information you need and put it to use.
Thank you. I have learnt a few things from here. I will probably have to come back and watch again to remember it.....
Amazing keyboard,i really enjoy when play with my Genos.
Excellent tutorial. Mine came last Friday and have spent DAYS exploring the thing then I spotted your videos. Thanx.
Really enjoyed the video much better than reading the manual many thanks
A&K Duckett thank you very much for your comment! There will be another tutorial soon showing some of the more advanced functions.
Thanks for watching!
I see what to do how to revoice midi files now......thanks Michael......after watching this video the Genos will have me spending hours and hours of fun and finding new things to mess with. Cheers again.
Fantastic review Sir I'm Autistic and this really helps me keep up the great work buddy loving it..;)
Bel percorso di da fare una conoscenza 🎹
Thank you for this tutorial!
Fantastic video and very useful, thank you for the valuable information!
Very helpful and informative. I’m getting my Yamaha Genos on Thursday.
Rev. Elaine Njerve-Zack thank you for your comment! I'm glad that this tutorial has helped you, I hope you have many hours of fun on your Genos once you get it!
my is comming on friday 😍 hope i will know how to operate after watching this video 😊
I'm sure you will know your way through the Genos after watching these tips, have lots of fun on your Genos once you get it!
Great stuff buddy!!! Keep them coming!
thank you my friend , this is very useful video 👍
Thanks very much Michael, this video demonstration has been very helpful to me, and I hope you do many more about Genos in the future. I'm loving my new Genos!
Christopher Veale thank you very much for your comment! I’m glad that this video has helped you, I’ve also done another tutorial of this keyboard a few weeks ago showing the more advanced functionalities of this keyboard, I will still do styles videos until I have showed all of the styles of the Genos, also more song covers on this keyboard will be planned in the future, I hope you have many hours of fun with your Genos, it has many possibilities worth paying every penny for!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Micheal, thanks for your reply....I;m going to look at your other video this evening. I'm sure it will be just as helpful too!
I'd love to see more details about playing midi files, and making them too, as well as tips and help with registration settings for the Genos, and where best to find helpful stuff on Genos other than UA-cam....keep up the good work....
Well done...really helpful! Many thanks...
@KeyboardKrazy49 Thank you so much for this video, well done and very very good teaching lesson. Keep up the good work.
Very informative tutorial. Thanks
Just got the Genos. It is very nice and has capabilities galore. Only complaint so far is the unbelievably cheap volume control, mic gain and sliders and knobs. Wow. Basically a nearly 6 thousand dollar keyboard and the knobs are something you’d find on a $300 keyboard. I love Yamaha gear and have owned an MOXF8, an MX88, a Montage8 and now the Genos. The Montage8 knobs and sliders were worthy of a high end product and the Genos is over a thousand more and gets these cheap knobs and sliders. I think Yamaha should send all Genos owners replacement high quality knobs and sliders for those mentioned. Still won’t improve the actual cheap slider assembly itself but would at least be more worthy of this highly expensive flagship. Come on Yamaha you should be embarrassed to have let this go through.
Brian Lewis thank you for your comment! Yes I know what you mean, it is such a fantastic keyboard with great capabilities, it is a shame that they have flimsy knobs and sliders that you would expect on a much cheaper keyboard, the capabilities with the sliders and knobs are great though and I agree, I think Yamaha should send every Genos owner better sliders, knobs etc so they would look much better on a $6000 keyboard (about £4000 in UK currency).
Thanks for watching!
Very good Mikel. Keep on going. Thanks.
Hi: my name is Vazgen, Thank you for your time and about Yamaha Genos Keyboard Tutorial some of the basic video, if you have anther
Tutorial video, I would like to see, Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for this super demo
Great job Michael!
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad you have enjoyed this tutorial and that it has helped you, there will be more tutorials if other keyboards in the future.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks and Please keep them up ,I need tutorials !
Octavio Ferrer thank you for your comment! There will be another tutorial at some point and will get it done as soon as possible!
much better dan the yahama manuel. thanks very much from the dutch.
Thank you. Really good and easy to understand demo. Although I did feel a bit nausea after 15 minutes or so due to poor camera movements... same issue with part 2 of this tutorial.
Thanks for your comment! On part 2 there was no camera movements as it was on a tripod in which I should have done with part 1 (this video)
@@KeyboardKrazy49 Thank you for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate your time making the tutorial which I thought was very informative.
great demo
Thank you so much for this tutorial
This video was a huge help for new users. The constant bouncing around with the camera practically drove me nuts!
The lighting in parts of the video was too dim making it difficult to view the the video.
Informative I would give you a 10 out of 10
Video lighting and view unfortunately I would give you a 5 out of 10
Thanks for your comment and feedback! Yes I have realised that the moving around didn’t make the video perfect, I have soon changed the way that I do videos and put my phone on a tripod, it was the first time at the time that I have used my phone on my videos, not long after that I have bought myself a phone holder for my tripod so that I don’t have to hold the phone whilst recording and that I have both hands free to use the keyboard.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback once again!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank you Micheal for your reply.
I am a brand new genos user (a late bloomer) and appreciate your effort in providing support
Have wanted a genos for over 4 years but couldn’t afford the price!
Keep up the GR8 work.
Very good and informative!
Thank you, very informative
Thank you, yes your tutorial was very useful. thank you very much!
Thank you very much for your comment! I hope that this simple tutorial has got you to know some basics of how to use the features on your Genos, there are some fantastic features that are very easy to use on Genos and will get you creating your own songs in no time!
Thanks for watching!
Very useful video. Thanks
Thank you very much for this video! 😁
Hi! I noticed that you've only done videos of styles and tutorials. Could you please go through the voices on this keyboard? I'd prefer the built in demos on the keyboard for each voice.
Could you please do one with the PA4X please? Love this video thank you so much
Dominique Mariner Thanks for your comment! I’m afraid I don’t have the PA4x
Good job!
Excellent video Michael. However, I have a question. I went to the website to download to a USB 3.1 stick and I unzipped the file and added it to the USB plugged that into the Genos and nothing happens other than the titles are shown so what did I do wrong.? Or is that something wrong with the Genos?
Thank you
Can you make a video of how to set up sync start /stop by using direct access please.? Thanks
Faupapa Mamea I’ll try and do that when I do a video of my PSR-SX900, the SX900 is basically a mini genos so I’ll do what I can
@@KeyboardKrazy49in genos please.. thank you looking forward to it..
Faupapa Mamea genos and PSR-SX900 are of the same OS so I might as well do it on the SX900 because I will be doing a tutorial video of that keyboard I’m hoping to release sometime this month
Happy Belated New Years!
EB The Original Master Thank you, and a happy belated new year to you too!
Can you tell me what software to use to create Sampler Expanson files for Genos - thank you
Thanks for your great tutoring. When I play my Genos , the sound is fading in and fading out. This happens when playing any style or voice. Please show me the way to fix that back to normal. Thanks so kindly for your help.
Hi. Great video! From where did you get all the Registration you were selecting from your usb under “genos playlists” when showing the playlist funktion?
Thank you for your comment! you can get the Playlist Registrations from the Yamaha website.
Thanks for watching!
KeyboardKrazy49 Hi - Well i did try That but was not able to find it -:(
Lars Damkjær type in Genos Playlist on google and a link should come up with the Yamaha website, you should then be able to find it
Hi Michael I love your videos so please keep them coming I just purchased the Genos it was a huge jump from the tyros 3 but I am a little disappointed in that I have to tweak the sounds more on the Genos and the Tyros 3 is very well adjusted and no tweaking necessary. I do have a problem and wonder if you can help me please? Ever since my Genos had arrived 3 days ago December 8th, 2021 I have been playing it daily and reading, and now I have a problem where it seems the sustain is stuck holding notes on right 2 & 3 when switched off they still play. The only time they are not heard is when I lower the volume with the sliders. Have you experienced this or does my keyboard have a defect? I have factory reset it both ways each time this has happened. Then when I begin playing again I have the same problem is it my pedal or is it the keyboard? Thank you for your urgent help.
Hello I’d inserted a USB stick in flash drive and it’s only the piano playing But no styles playing I tried to look for styles but couldn’t find them could you help me please ..
Nice..
I wanted to get the Yamaha Genos, But I am blind, and I won’t be able to access the touch screen, so I am going to have to get the older model instead. Nice video though, it was very interesting
Thank you for the fine tutorial. I learned a few things.
But please, please, next time use steady shots and leave the shaking out. Close ups are fine, but there is really no need to zoom in that much. Look forward to the next one!
Stijn Bettens Thank you very much for your comment! Sorry about that, I’ll try not to be so shaky next time, it’s quite hard to get a still video whilst holding a phone but I’ll do my best next time, I didn’t zoom in on any of the parts, just some closeups on certain parts.
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you’ve learnt some things with this tutorial!
Maybe you could use one of those selfie sticks and fix it to a tripod. It would be nicer to view and to follow what you do if you used both hands to show us the stuff on the keyboard with less moving and shaking clips. Also, don't zoom in so much. It's more interesting with a wider view. I really enjoyed the tutorial and I'm interested in other things you want to share with us. Regards.
Hi i have a request. Could you show off the voices or some of the voices of the genos please i have a tyros 5 and i would like to hear the difference between the 2. Thank you.
Since upgrading to the big firmware upgrade 2 years ago I’ve had some problems with Play List hence Y I’m attempting to delete and start again.
Hi and thank's for the video! How do you make a 3/4 style?
Thank you for your comment! If you watch my second Genos Tutorial video, there will be a timer stamp in which I show how to create Styles.
Thanks for watching and hope this helps!
Thank you for this super demo!
I got mine last year , thanks for the tutorial, mp3 with lyrics tutorials soon?
When you use the fade in and out button does it always have to be for the organ sounds only? Can I use the fade in and out like with any style playing the piano sound?
Hey Michael how are you? Do you know how to delete all playlists? It’s ok I’ve got them saved on USB.
Awesome video. I really wanted to buy one. Still confused about such a huge investment. Keeping my fingers crossed.
got one coming on thus 7th
Hi, I have been trying to add expansion pack on my Genos. However the formatting part is going on for hours without finishing it. I have tried the USB and WiFi transfer methods without any success. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
Hi Michael..
Is there any chance you could do a tutorial on how to download a playlist on the yamaha site? I went to the link but the playlists don't show the music ? I think perhaps I'm not understanding it ..not very computer savvy! Lol
keys are heavy weighted? how heavey do they feel?
Ramsés they are not heavy weighted like a piano, they are just normal keyboard keys
@@KeyboardKrazy49 thank you so much for you input, i've been watching your videos, so helpful! i'm instrested in this yamaha genos. greetings from México!
Ramsés Hi there. Genos has lighter keys compared to Korg.
32:46 - So, it's like holding down one of the pedals in the pedalboard of an organ?
503VC Music exactly
Please give us tetorials (full) about Korg pa 1000 in deapth
I don’t have the PA1000 I’m afraid
Je ne parle pas de ta langues mais j'adore tes vidéo moi aussi je suis UA-camuse mais je n'ai pas beaucoup d'abonné
Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for your comment! more videos will be coming soon!
Translation to what you said: I do not speak your language but I love your video too I am UA-camuse but I do not have many subscribersREPLY
❤️
Please help me I want to create my own registration and how save them to registration please.
Watch tutorial 2 where I show how to save registrations
KeyboardKrazy49 thank you so much I got it..you’re the best..
Anyone know how to turn off the parts ?
basically playing 8 different types of instruments across 76 keyboard
Respected sir i want to buy keyboard yamaha. But 2 sample select yamaha PSR E453 and PSR E463. IN these two, one keyboard buy . But i confused both 2 products. In these 2 which product was better i not understand. So please sir tell me in these two which i will buy and better for me. Please sir.
I would say just go for the E463
please use a tripod for close up viewa, your hand held camera is giving me headache !
Ka-Khy Tze watch the second tutorial of the Genos, I have done exactly that as suggested by another person that commented 2 years ago
I find the menus on computers for music keyboards over complicated and this demo does worry me that I will struggle to find the enormous amount of options. I just want a much simpler keyboard, that has preset instruments and extra voices including drum machine to use with my analogue Hammond analogue organ. Not all of us musicians are tech geeks.
Have to agree with you Chris; I've had a Tyros 4 for a few years now and I still can't get to grips with the techy side. I was hoping to get myself the new Genos, but I have my doubts about being able to get anywhere with it. I spent half-an-hour in the music shop a couple of days ago, but I couldn't get beyond setting the style preset, as the sounds I expected weren't there, and I couldn't find where the instrument presets where! I think it must be my age. Trouble is, the salesmen are so good at producing fantastic music, but not so good at telling you how to get there. I don't expect them to provide a complete tutorial, but I do feel they should spend just a little time showing the basics. The thing is, they know what they're doing because they've been shown by the companies; we, the paying customer are not likely to have had that privilege, and I, for one, always feel like a pillock in my attempts.
Even with this tutorial, he got so techy I lost it early on!!
Charles Griffiths I know you left this comment a couple of months ago, but if you go to 3:44 I explain that there are no longer categorised buttons for the voices and styles as you now access them via touchscreen.
I know you have your doubts about this machine but I hope this helps
@@KeyboardKrazy49 Many thanks for this info. I did take note at the time of the info you refer-to, but not then having access to the instrument it really wasn't a great deal of help. The nearest store was/is some 65 miles away, but after very long consideration, I decided that, at my age, I really couldn't justify getting rid of the Tyros and buying the Genos. The other point in disfavour related to my experience with the Tyros - and that was to do with the styles: I simply didn't like how Tyros listed them, or how inflexible they were when you did manage to find one that suited your purpose. I'd had a Korg previously, and it was superior in most ways to the Yamaha, except that it was incompatible for recording purposes. Finally, having listened to almost all of the styles you played, I heard very, very, very few that were different from each other, and since they sounded all quite "samey" I decided it just wasn't worth the money or the effort in re-learning. Still, it was good of you to get back to me, and I appreciate that. Thanks again.
Sinon continu COMME-ÇA
Wouldn't GM, XG, and GM2 be in the "Legacy" category?
nowhere to be found in the legacy folders
KeyboardKrazy49 :(
This proves once again that making a good tutorial is very difficult. This video content is good but gives a terrible nervous impression by the bad camera work. Please consider this as constructive criticism.
Provide a stable and clear camera setup.
It is very unfortunate that your work is being shortened in this way.
Thank you for your concern about the camera movement of this video and that I do realize this, on my next tutorial, I will be using a tripod to put the camera on so it will be much more stable and more easier for me as well as I can use 2 hands if I need to show certain tips.
Thanks for watching!
Are you using a GoPro camera ?
Leo van den Broek for this recording I used my iPhone 6, I now have an iPhone 8 and the video resolution is so much better, so it will be much better video quality and I bought myself some phone holders so that my phone can be put onto an tripod.
The iPhone 6 is also great video quality but as newer phones come out, the camera gets even better on the top of the line phones
After recording...do you use a program like PinnacleStudio ?
A sugestion: Put the tripod behind the Genos.
The recording is than upside down, but video editprograms have the possibility to flip the recorded file 180 degrees.
Use a pencil or ballpoint to point some issues. a hand often covers too much.
Make a script (on paper, in your head) what you want to show us.
Never improvise while recording. Its not a Television program.
You want to make a tutorial.
Believe me, I know what it is.
Show your recording to friends or family first before you publish it.
They often see the mistakes rather than yourself. Business blindness !!!.
A consolation, the more often you do this, the better you will become.
Many succes.
Leo van den Broek The program I use to edit the videos is called adobe premiere pro CC.
I will bear this in mind for when I do videos like this in future and thanks for your suggestions.
Thanks again for watching!
Michael's Basics In Genos Education
(Baldi's Basics In Education)
Baldi basics? what you do you mean?
KeyboardKrazy49 It's a popular game in Roblox. :)
George Greener what does a game have to do with this video?
KeyboardKrazy49 I was joking! This is a tutorial, right? Teaching us about the Genos?
of course
mega voices are not for live playing. see manual
Vl. Belyaev As a stand alone voice, MegaVoices can't be played live, but with the arpeggiators turned on they can be played live
OMG yes you are right
Vl. Belyaev did you also try it out? Do you have a Genos as well? Such a great machine!
yes I have, it`s not bad, but many things still made by Yamaha in stupid way.
it's obvious from the you tube videos, that Bonners is a class operation....with that in mind, why the crazy and unprofessional looking shaky cam work in this video???? I could barely watch it, in spite of the valuable information....focusing in, every now and then, is not so bad, but the side to side motion is hard to watch.
DrGargani Sorry about that, throughout the tutorial, I was using my phone for the recording, I can disable the shaking if you wish on this video via the edit function on UA-cam, the reason to why I was using my phone is so I can give closeups of the functions that I’m using, and yes I see that you have pointed out that I have focused on certain parts when they became blurry, I couldn’t do that on the ZOOM video recorder that I would usually use in my videos as it isn’t touchscreen for me to focus, but at least with the ZOOM I can put it on a tripod so you wouldn’t get the shaking.
Thanks for watching!
thank you for the reply! Again, the CONTENT is great, and this is the kind of very basic information about these arranger keyboards that is lacking in a lot of the other demos.
Michael, A very comprehensive video for the first one. You did an excellent job of explaining those functions that you addressed. I would like to see you do another video of the quick audio and the audio mult recording that shows the differences and how to quickly erase a newly created song or idea. Also, how to save to a usb flash drive without loading it on your hard drive and gobbling up your hard drive space. Thanks again, Congrats!
Thank you very much for your comment! On my next tutorial I will show more features of the Genos, including the quick and multi recording on both MIDI and Audio, I will also show how to record your own multi pad banks as well and other features too.
Thanks for watching!
Sounds fantastic, and I am looking forward to it.! Hope it is soon.
I am totally put off by this demo, that seems extremely complicated, obviously the wrong keyboard for me.,
Chris Stoddern maybe an entry level keyboard would be good enough or you, or a mid range keyboard, but there are still great entry level and mid range keyboards out there
Thank you so much for your reply, but I searched on UA-cam and your more advanced technical keyboards came up, and I don't like computer screens on keyboards as they do seem extremely complicated Lol.
Chris Stoddern there are less complicated keyboards that have great sounds, there will be a PSR-E463 and a PSR-EW410 entry level keyboards which will be easy to use, just a blue backlit LCD screen, none of the computer based screens.

Thanks very much for your suggestions, I had a look at your entry level; and that was useful. Only bit of constructive feedback, is it possible to put each model number your reviewing on the screen, as I had to keep replaying what you said ha! ha!, as I couldn't always catch the model number or slow down a bit so it's easier to hear and write down the model your reviewing. Guess my hearing isn't as good as it was Lol. Many thanks, you certainly seem to know your keyboards.
Thank you so so much
Your video helped loads...can you please tell me where I can download play list songs for the genos on the internet ?
Kind regards
Thank you very much for your comment! If you type in Yamaha Genos playlist in google, the official Yamaha website should be the top link so click on that and there will be other playlist files to download, and you can also create your own playlist too.
Thanks for watching!
@@KeyboardKrazy49 just seen part 2 of the genos tutorial. Your a life saver and Thank you for your comment re: play list.
All the best
