Reign Supreme Over Your Sound

The Genos2 isn’t just a powerful instrument; it’s a command station, making you the ultimate authority over all aspects of your music. Style Dynamics allows you control over every nuance of accompaniment, from the softest whisper of a backing band to its roaring crescendo. The magic of Genos2’s Real Ambient Drums brings Styles to life like never before with the feel and atmosphere of live drums in a variety of environments. For example, you can shift from the raw intensity of a direct drum beat to a cavernous, echoing room in an instant. And AI chord mode intuitively guides your accompaniments based on what you play. You’ll sound like a full band is following your every note – even though it’s only you on stage.

 

Genos2. Where Stars Are Born

Elevate your vocals and amplify your voice with our professional-grade microphone input with studio quality effects, engineered to refine and amplify your voice while making every note resonate with crystal clarity. And for those moments when it's not just about playing, but also belting out your favorite tunes, Karaoke Lyrics On-Screen ensures that you never miss a beat—or a lyric. Embrace your inner performer – and let Genos 2 be the best backing band you’ve ever fronted.

 

Everything you need for intuitive control

The knobs and sliders are a convenient way to control many aspects of your performance. Genos2’s updated Live Control surface now has LEDs to indicate, at a glance, the position of controls, which now also include a ‘catch’ function, reducing the risk of unintended operation during performance.

 

Big, bright, clear displays

 

At the center of Genos2’s operation is the large 9-inch touch screen which is now brighter, includes an anti-reflective coating and has been tilted an additional 5 degrees towards the player. Additionally, the sub-display now includes selectable light and dark modes. So whether you’re performing indoors, outdoors or under stage lighting, the Genos2 displays will be clearly visible.

Organize Sets with Playlists

Playlist is the best way to organize Registration Memory banks into convenient Playlists for instant recall during performance.

With the updated user interface, Playlist entries can be sorted A to Z, or Z to A, you can jump alphabetically through Playlist records as well as filter for a specific term in the records.

If you are importing MusicFinder records from an older instrument, the Style name will be automatically included in the new Playlist record name.

Vocal Harmony 2

You can easily apply various Vocal Harmony presets to your voice which can enhance your singing experience by adding several harmony parts and effects. Whether you want to sing as a standard duet, jazzy quartet or a big choir, the choice is yours.

In addition, you can be creative with the Synth Vocoder whereby you can manipulate synthesized sounds just by singing into the mic. The mic will pick up the characteristics from your voice, such as the formation of vowels, and feed that information to the Synth Vocoder shaping the synth voices.

Vocal Harmony gives the performer a wide range of vocal expression and possibilities which can be enjoyed at home or on stage.

Never Worry About Forgetting Words Again

Connect your Genos2 to an external display or tv using the new HDMI port.

Perfect if you’re entertaining a crowd or hosting a party, you can instantly show the lyrics of your MIDI and Audio songs for everyone to see and sing-along.

In addition, you can also mirror the main display or view a musical score, which can be useful if you're playing in a duo or band.

Let Loose with Chord Looper

The new panel buttons provide quick access to recording and playing back chord sequences in realtime.

Whether you wish to free up your left hand to play full piano, build up sections of a song or practice a difficult piece of music, the Chord Looper enables you to store up to 8 chord sequences in each bank for easy access during your performance.

You can create an unlimited number of banks with your own chord progressions, or choose from a range of built-in presets.

Premium Pack

Genos2 includes Expansion memory, which means new Voices and Styles can be added in the future. By simply registering your Genos2, you can download the DX7 Pack, which adds to the preset Voices, completing the collection of 128 original Voices from DX7.
