Yamaha Genos Vocoder Demo and Tutorial

Here's how to use the incredible vocoder tool in the Yamaha Genos.
The vocoder allows you to add vocals to your genos even if you can't sing - simply talk into your Genos and it will create a vocal cord that you can use in your performance. Absolutely GREAT tool. This video is a step by step and should help you to get started with the vocoder!

[@TheBuddyKeys]

This video really helped me figure out some great vocal effects. I’m a singer and your tutorial opened up a new world for me. Thank you.

[@davidowner9556]

Thanks, really good tip, can't wait to try it out,

Delighted to have helped - hope you have fun

[@LeighWilbraham]

Thanks

[@micksayers1]

This is brilliant, Leigh, thank you 🎉

[@123TH52]

I never knew this was on my genos,very useful this gives us keyboard players something to play around with thankyou I always enjoy your videos they are very helpful.

[@ronaldkendall1202]

I had no idea that the Genos could do this well done Leigh and thanks for the info must try this Ron Kendall❤

[@Denvermorgan2000]

Wow I did not know the genos came with a vocoder.

[@novatoi]

thank you Leigh . I was like almost out of breath following you until the end of this video 🥵

[@LeighWilbraham]

Hahah :-)

[@andreuranie5891]

Bonjour léigh,je suis français, jadooore et je comprends parfaitement votre anglais, car vous parlez lentement, et vous articulez bien, de plus je vois que vous vous amusez comme un gamin, par rapport aux autres il parle vite, et j'arrive pas à les comprendre il parle trop vite 😢, alors que vous, vous vous exprimer, tranquillou, cool, continuez comme cela, je vous suis régulièrement depuis MONACO.musicalement votre. 😊 De plus vos tutoriels sont magnifiquement bien expliqués 😊

[@richardlussier9550]

J'aime beaucoup vos explications merci

[@doctordeej]

Stand back Peter Howell - I’m going in. Greenwich Chiorus? Doctor Who Theme? Mainstream? I’m playing with this tonight - and I have a weekend sans housemates so, game on!

[@peterbennellick5255]

Just had a good laugh to myself. Turned the volume up and gave it a go, and even recorded my effort. If Yamaha and Korg made videos like you I’m sure their sales would rocket. All they do is put on some professional player who plays his speciality Jazz piece who’s thinking “Listen to me, ain’t I great” when all the ameteur player wants is instructional videos like you make. I think you should be paid for your time and effort. Very much appreciated. When you work out how to make my voice sound good let me know. Cheers. ,

[@LeighWilbraham]

Thank you Peter. You’d be amazed how many kind messages I get similar to this. I enjoy helping anyone with a Genos and who has a real love of music. Your comment has made my day. Thank you.

[@doctordeej]

This^. You are so right. I’ve only just discovered Leigh’s chanel in the last couple of weeks. I’ve had my Genos for two years or so, and I have learned more in the last two weeks than the two years previously. Thank you so much, Leigh.

[@AlexaMorales]

This is so much fun!!

[@lewchaney2138]

What you said is true. I have had my Genos for 5+ years, and I had no idea that it had these vocoder features. Is the special pack you indicated the only way to have this vocoder effect? Simply amazing… 😮

[@LeighWilbraham]

There’s no pack this is built into the instrument in the vocal harmony section.

[@ralfeschbach2020]

Very interesting 😊

[@frankr7239]

Can you change vocoder into normal voice so your singing in tune as a auto tune but under vocoder

[@steveraschella8233]

Does the vocal harmonizer/vocoder have autotranspose? That enables the voice to pick the harmony range with out having to refinger the chords

[@cinepost]

Leigh, are there any significant improvements with the Vocoder on the Genos 2?

[@sophiemerle4250]

Bonjour monsieur je n’ai pas compris comment trouver le vocal Harmony et le synthé vocodeur 😢😢😢? Merci pour votre retour

[@johnblain417]

I would not be surprised if Yamaha uses digitised voices of singing stars together with AI techniques to allow you to sing along to a tune and have your voice sound exactly like the original star's voice? It would certainly allow people like me who would clear a room if I started to sing with my own voice.

[@zeerog56]

Hi Leigh, I have no idea what mic i should buy to use the vocoder function. Can you give me some guidance? Good but not to expencieve. Thx for al your fine demo's.

[@guidografe8339]

A good old (Shure) SM58 is always a good choice - Phantom Power comes from the keyboard

[@aTouchoClass]

@@guidografe8339The SM58 doesn‘t require phantom power. It‘s a dynamic mic.

[@idemditto]

It seems to me difficult to keep talking normally instead of automatically participating in pitch changes of your voice with the chords

[@LeighWilbraham]

You can do both you don’t have to stay at a fixed pitch

[@Abby-zi4xi]

Do you know if the vocal harmony processor on the Genos is better or the same as the one on the PSR SX900?

[@LeighWilbraham]

Better than ax900

[@Abby-zi4xi]

Thank you Leigh 😊

[@cinepost]

Does the SX900 have this feature?

[@Apachetipie.]

Non, il n'y a que le genos qui possède cette application.

[@kenColtas-pg7nr]

Legh , hope you’re good . Korg pa4x pro user vocalist. Excited about new Genos . Question … not used yamaha since tyros 1 didn’t like vocal sound or the Micky mouse home speaker system. It may be better now but with the new keyboard have you come across some attractive home speakers that do a better job than the usual set up. Satellites usually have a mid range hole and I want a great vocal sound plus great piano.??? Anything out there in white .. budget not a problem ??

[@LeighWilbraham]

These are good for the price and white!! www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/c210805372360008--yamaha-hs8-monitor-white-pair?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6KunBhDxARIsAKFUGs8cNueJJZ7nCRJzNcvrArHxv6RGm0g_N3VRBlOm-yj-gnES2AAVT7gaAgxjEALw_wcB

[@kenColtas-pg7nr]

Thanks legh they look great do they out perform the usual set up , high, warm midrange and sufficient bass?

[@kenColtas-pg7nr]

Also … don’t want to add mixer or amp . I see the active is hs5 is that the same thing?

[@LeighWilbraham]

@@kenColtas-pg7nr they are all active. No mixer needed

[@kenColtas-pg7nr]

Ha I see they are available powered … much better overall then than the usual set up ??

[@PhillipDodo]

Nice but on Medeli AKX 10 ist the same under Vocoder Ensemble

[@LeighWilbraham]

No

[@LilHoss]

Does this functionality apply also to the Yamaha PSR SX 900?

[@avelinosilva4912]

Yes! 🙂

[@Apachetipie.]

Bonjour tout les psr n'ont pas cette fonctionnalité, il n'y que les genos 1et 2 qui ont ont cette originalités 😊

[@risdiantomubin1203]

It's that available on PSR Sx 900 series??

[@LeighWilbraham]

I’m not sure as I haven’t tried

[@davesimons3555]

Yes I have an sx900 and the menu system and functionality is exactly the same.

[@avelinosilva4912]

Yes! I have an sx900.
