I believe that the home market is larger than the pro market, but I also believe that several manufacturers are making pro level keyboards with simple, easy play features as well. I own one.
Well I'm impressed you want to keep things honest and upright, Dave...shouldn't that be the norm?
The home market is what started this whole arranger thingy...and just because they write "professional" on the box doesn't suddenly launch the instrument out of home keyboard territory...it's called "marketing" and some people are inclined or gullible enough to believe it.
Personally, I don't, and when these "simple easy play" features are no longer offered on arrangers, they will be one step further away from being home keyboards....again, my own honest and upright opinion.
Counterpoints always welcome and encouraged.
Ian
