Two of the biggest names in the keyboard world – and two of the most powerful instruments to date. The question is — which one is right for you?
At ePianos, we’ve spent decades helping musicians across the UK choose the perfect instrument. With both the Korg Kronos 3 and the Yamaha Genos 2 now entering the scene, we’re seeing more and more customers asking us: “Which one should I go for?”
At the heart of any flagship keyboard is its sound — and both of these giants take very different approaches.
Korg Kronos 3 comes loaded with 10 distinct sound engines. From analogue modelling to digital FM synthesis and realistic grand pianos, it’s a producer’s dream. You’ve got flexibility, depth, and the tools to sculpt your own sonic identity.
Yamaha Genos 2, on the other hand, is all about instant inspiration. Its expanded Super Articulation voices and new FM engine bring expression and realism to every note. It’s sample-based, polished, and perfect for arranging, composing, and performing.
If you love building your own sound from scratch: Kronos 3.
If you want world-class preset realism and live-ready tones: Genos 2.

Both keyboards feature large colour touchscreens — but they serve different types of workflow.
Kronos 3 offers deep editing, layers of routing, and DAW-like flexibility. It’s designed for those who like to dig in and shape things. It’s not intimidating — but it does reward exploration.
Genos 2 is immediate and intuitive. Designed with performers in mind, it makes creating arrangements, triggering accompaniments, and switching setups on the fly incredibly smooth.
Studio-focused tinkerers will love the Kronos.
Performers who need instant results will feel right at home with the Genos.
Genos 2 shines with its smart accompaniment styles, chord detection, and live control knobs. It’s essentially a full band in a box, with real-time control and dynamic backing that responds to your playing.
Kronos 3 focuses more on synth-style expression. You’ve got KARMA, vector joystick, and an incredibly powerful modulation matrix — ideal for electronic, cinematic, and complex arrangements.
Genos is perfect for singer-songwriters, entertainers, and live band leaders.
Kronos excels in synth-based, cinematic, or EDM environments.

Both keyboards are serious investments — but we offer competitive pricing across the board.
At ePianos, we’re offering part exchange options on both models. Got a Kronos 2 or an original Genos? We’ll value it fairly and make upgrading easy.
