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.
