  1. Dave, I believe it means as soon as you add a Vox product to the Thomann online cart, with a US delivery address specified, it triggers this "sorry" warning that Vox does not allow their European distributor to ship Vox product to the US. Tim This is indeed what I received on the order page when I tried to purchase one from Germany sorry i was a little obtuse
  2. We are quite disappointed with Vox for preventing us from shipping to your country of choice. Please consider products of a different manufacturer or switch to another delivery country. Remove this item
  3. A trip back to the past of 1/2 and full rack piano modules and a Korg Sample grand keyboard. I never owned an MKS 20 and now I can. sort of. I ran through some of the instruments and patches pretty quickly so I can't give an in depth review but almost all of the pianos are drenched in reverb and the EPS have the obligatory FX. It pretty easy to figure out the source keyboard from the graphics of the instrument and the patch names.Most sound close to their namesakes, at least to my ears. More info from the UVI page
  4. I gather you've never actually played an arranger, then? Styles on arrangers are not the same thing as arpeggiator loops on workstations. Arrangers are designed for 'one man band' live performance. Whereas, 90% of the 'backing track' functionality provided by workstation presets will never be used in anger, and are mostly there for showroom flash. To further blur the line,some arrangers will change the pattern/bass line/hits according to the inversion or type of chord you hold in the LH, C Maj plays one pattern, Cmaj7 changes the pattern movement , at least with my arranger board.
  5. Has anyone ever profiled these home players? I am thinking they may be retired with tons of disposable income , thus dropping cash on this board. If we look at the home organs sold in the mall back in the day the price they sold for with inflation would be comparable to the Genos today?
  6. If ya gotta ask, you cant afford it.... Maybe to recoup all the R&D they put into it, but whats different than the Tyros or even that matter the S series arrangers, it seems to have very similar controls to my S970, but in no way the arrangements or phrases.
  7. Hi -- Thanks for re-posting that from my web site. :-) I wrote up some initial opinions, specs, etc. at: http://sandsoftwaresound.net/genos-genesis/ Feel free to browse around the rest of the articles, too. I do recommend the Martin Harris demo. Martin is one of the lead developers and he usually focuses on the sweetest spots in a new release from Yamaha. Montage players should smile in a few places along the way. All the best -- pj Music technology blog: http://sandsoftwaresound.net/ That quote came from a hit from a google search on "price", it was stand alone.. Had I known it was your website I would have given credit to you , I was in no way claiming I divined that price. Since there is very LITTLE right now on the board info is dribbling in . Having said that, I appreciate your work in providing more information on this board. I have an S970 and its just the cats meow. But over 5K for an arranger at this point is outside my sandbox.
  8. Yamaha Genos USA pricing Posted on September 28, 2017 News flash! The Yamaha Genos will come in one model: 76 keys. USA manufacturers suggested retail price, also known as MSRP or the retail list price, will be $6799. The minimum advertised price, known as MAP or the street price, will be $5,499. All prices are U.S. Dollars (USD). U
  9. I am glad they verified it, Tom. I had gigged with mine for 9 months or so before it started the white noise, always with a UPS dedicated to powering only it. Maybe the flaw was a mechanical issue and transporting it finally caused the ground to become unstable.
  10. I have had mine for about a year and here are my few thoughts. The soundtower editor is hit and miss, sometimes it glares back at me and refuses to load or display content, sometimes it works ok. I find if I try to import ALL the object range numbers it balks, so I have to restrict the numbers to import to the actual values. Not all PC3s translate well, there is a pedal steel patch i wish would function with all the controllers, but some variables in the pc3 program aren't in the Artis, but for the most part they import just fine and sound good. I was not raised on an acoustic piano so the keybed is fine for me and I do use the piano patches a lot but yes it is a bit spongy. The KB3 engine is great, I am still not enamored with the rotary fx, and there is no separate outputs to just run organ to for a Vent. Panning hard L or R doesn't work cause if you want just the C/V block and not the rotary its in stereo so doesnt follow the panning, just as the other sounds are in stereo. This only is an issue of you have a split with organ and other sounds, Organ alone and bypassing the Vent will work. As far as Scotts comment as an all in one board, I agree and use it for splits 3 ways and layers and dont miss the extra keys, it is versatile, I did some gigs with a wedding band that needed synth bass sounds, and there dont seem to be enough variations in the stock factory sounds, but may have been some in the pc3 libraries, but I didnt get a chance to try them because.... Getting ready for those gigs I had programmed the patches almost completed for the songs when the Artis starting emitting a LOUD white noise at random. Sent it off to Sweetwater who sent it to AM, found out there was a service recall for this malady , it was fixed under warranty, but i was out my board for 3 months, and lucky had the Kronos that I had to program from scratch for the wedding gigs in time. A new board should not have the issue
  11. ... the story of the little Dutch boy who plugs a dike with his finger. A.C. Oh boy could I get a TOS banned........
  12. Note to self: start saving money for new SS reminder to self: weighs 65 lbs, and your 65 years old and you transport gear in the bed of a pick up truck LIFTING said gear note to Aspen: darn you for presenting me with this quandary
  13. Since its a coax speaker in there in the tweet part of it ?
  14. the RMT20 code does not appear to be valid anymore for the min tremor
  15. I will have to make a call and get one to test. The video looks pretty good, very nice looking curved wood cabinet and they even spelled my name right in the credits! And just 26 pounds! See: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/fender-acoustic-sfx-2-channel-160w-acoustic-guitar-stereo-amp If I were a millionaire rock star I would commission you to build a one off wood enclosure SS3 for me. That wood looks gorgeous .
