The Yamaha Genos2 is Yamaha's flagship 76-key arranger workstation and the foundation for the company's next generation of keyboards. It's built for players who want to perform their favorite songs, write original music, or produce polished arrangements, all from one instrument with a full band at their fingertips. The Genos2 has 1,990 Voices, 384-note polyphony, an FSX keybed with aftertouch, and a deep library of accompaniment Styles. It also gives you real-time control over every part of the band. The free Genos2 OS v2.0 update adds the Timeless Keys piano pack, 50 new Styles, a Multiband Compressor, multitrack USB audio output, and new editing tools for the Chord Looper and Style Creator. Whether you're entertaining a crowd or recording at home, the Genos2 gives solo musicians the sound of a professional cover band.

All the Inspiration You Need and Then Some
The Genos2 has a wide range of Voices and Styles across nearly every genre, so there's always something new to play or arrange. Yamaha samples its own instruments, which keeps quality and consistency high across the whole library. Super Articulation 2 Voices capture the small details that make a flute or guitar sound real. Voice and Style Expansion Packs from around the world let you keep building out your sound.
Timeless Keys: Four Premium Pianos and 50 New Styles
With OS v2.0, Genos2 owners can add the Timeless Keys Pack free of charge. It includes four premium piano Voices: Nashville C3 Grand, Hamburg Grand, 73Rd Electric Piano, and Wr Electric Piano. Each comes in five variations, ranging from bright, modern grands to warm, vintage electrics. The pack also adds 50 new Styles across a variety of genres, each with One Touch Settings so the right Voices are ready the moment you select a Style.
Reign Supreme Over Your Sound
The Genos2 acts as a command station that puts you in charge of every part of your performance. Style Dynamics takes the backing band from a gentle whisper to a roaring crescendo. Real Ambient Drums can shift from a tight, direct beat to a big, echoing room in an instant. AI Chord mode and the new Smart Chord mode follow your playing, so the accompaniment sounds like a full band hanging on your every note.
Build Progressions Your Way with Chord Looper
Chord Looper records your chord progressions for the Style engine to loop, which frees both hands for soloing or experimenting. OS v2.0 adds Step Edit, so you can also place chords at specific positions in a bar one at a time instead of recording them in real time. It's ideal for programming tricky changes or fixing a single chord without starting over.
Record Every Part on Its Own Track
OS v2.0 adds USB Audio Multi-Track Output, which streams your performance to a connected DAW as separate audio tracks over a single USB cable. You get up to 16 stereo tracks at 44.1 kHz, or up to 4 stereo tracks at 192 kHz. Style, Song, and keyboard parts each land on their own track, ready for mixing and production.
Multiband Compressor and Refined Sound Shaping
The Genos2 Multiband Compressor replaces the original on/off Master Compressor. It gives you independent control over low, mid, and high frequency ranges, so you can tighten the bass, smooth the midrange, and add presence up top without one band affecting the others. A refreshed Voice Edit interface makes it easier to fine-tune the tone of any Voice.
Faster, Friendlier Style Creation
The Style Creator now has Undo/Redo, a Preview function for auditioning chords without leaving the edit screen, and a direct Mixer shortcut. These tools take the guesswork out of building your own Styles and speed up the process. Content installation from the Expansion Explorer app over USB is also much faster.
Genos2: Where Stars Are Born
A professional-grade combo XLR and 1/4 inch input with optional 48V phantom power accepts microphones and instruments without extra gear. The VH2 vocal harmony engine adds up to three virtual backing singers, plus pitch correction, a synth vocoder, and studio-quality effects. Karaoke lyrics appear on screen or on an external monitor via HDMI, so the Genos2 can be the best backing band you've ever fronted.
Hands-On Control for Live Performance
Assignable knobs and sliders let you adjust effects and parameters on Voices, Styles, and more in real time, whether you're playing a gig or fine-tuning an arrangement. The color touch panel puts Voice and Style assignments and deeper settings within easy reach. Four sub outputs, stereo main outs, and dual MIDI ports make the Genos2 easy to integrate into a larger stage or studio rig.
