In the October – November 2017 issue of the Yamaha Club Magazine, Glyn Madden has interviewed Ian House – known for his various live demonstrations of the latest Tyros keyboard models. In this interview, Ian House reveals a very important answer that will help many Yamaha Tyros owners – and that is of course backwards compatibility.

Now THAT’S an interesting question – and I have a very good answer: Genos is compatible with Tyros! To be a bit more specific, Registration Memories, Multi Pads, Songs from Tyros2 or newer… they’ll all load in and work with Genos! Actually, it was remarkable, I loaded in my Tyros5 Registrations a few weeks ago and I’ve never heard them sound so good!
