In today’s final episode of our exclusive series with Yamaha’s Martin Harris, we stepped away from features and knobs – and looked at the passion and human story behind the instruments we love.
If you couldn’t join us live (or if you’d like to watch again!), you can catch the full finale right here 👇
Episode 4 – Watch Now
Martin’s excitement hasn’t faded one bit – even after 30 years designing the world’s leading digital instruments.
His story began almost before he could walk:
🎹 Playing keyboards aged 2
❤️ Falling in love with Yamaha as a child
🚀 Joining the R&D team and shaping 3 decades of innovation
“I love playing. I love music…
and the fact that I’ve been able to produce instruments that other people can enjoy —
that’s something I’m very proud of.”
Every generation leaves players saying:
“How can it possibly improve next time?”
Yet – every time – The team does improve it.
How?
🧠 More memory = deeper sampling
🎧 Richer, more expressive voices
🎚 Better effects + DSP
🎼 Real musicians performing for real players
Each Genos model brings us closer to the feeling of playing with a live band – one that listens and responds.
One of today’s biggest surprises?
To capture authenticity… Yamaha literally go to the heart of the music:
• Flamenco guitars in Spain 🇪🇸
• Classical organ in Germany 🇩🇪
• Theatre organ sampled here in the UK 🇬🇧
• Middle Eastern instruments in Lebanon, Bahrain & Egypt 🌍
• Trips to India & China for cultural sound sets 🇮🇳🇨🇳
And thats just to mention a few!
It’s impossible not to feel grateful after hearing the heart he pours into these instruments.
From the early Tyros days to this new Genos 2 era… he has shaped how musicians play, create, and express themselves.
We salute him – and the Yamaha teams around the world – who keep pushing boundaries so your music can keep growing too.
