Price wise cheaper but Yamaha is user friendly live player instrument Some Tones in Korg is better than Yamaha some tones of Yamaha better than Korg Styles wise I Prefer Yamaha to also their customer service is great for any issues they always answer it and some times Korg applications cause unknown error for no reason in that case you may have to reboot to reset I have Korg electribe to play with Yamaha PSR s950 but for some times it does that my experience with Korg is more complicated to play with. You may have to spend some extra time .It's for Enginears not for live playing musicians I think
No necessarily so.
Yamaha has great piano sounds there rest, not so much and for me they sound shrill and harsh. Plus there has been a lot of adverse comments about the spongy feel of the keybed which the 4X just does not have.
Genos pricing is a con, it is £4200 here in the UK where a Korg Pa4X 76 is £2600.
Genos buyers imo in the majority are those who are indoctrinated into only buying Yamaha kit.
Nobody in their right mind would pay the very high cost of a Genos when you could buy a Korg Pa4X and a Korg Nautilus 61 for the same cash outlay.
Yamaha support is a Joke where Korg is not, but it does depend upon where you live, the Korg Arranger support is based in the EU where the whole of Korg’s Arranger design takes place.
Once the Korg OS is learned it is fast to create a custom Songbook entry, very easy to adjust individual sounds and a MIDI file can be imported to create a new Style.
Recording on a Korg is very simple and easy to modify, reports form Genos owners indicate that this is not the case.
Freebies, hundreds of free Korg Styles available as is custom Songbooks.
Learning, structured get you started video series and free webinars where there are some 25 hours of available tips, tricks and techniques available to learn should you so desire.
Korg Forum, have a problem ask a question, get a detailed response.
I’m biased, never ever would I spend my cash on a Yamaha Arranger.
