An interesting new feature would be to host software plug-ins, maybe VSTs or maybe Yamaha proprietary software plugins. But I would think this would show up on the workstations first. Another possibility is the appearance of physical modeling of some instruments components, such as piano soundboards.


Cliff.....Your ideas sound great in theory...But I was thinking that the average player might be detered with so much future High Tech technology....let alone just Playing one of these new arrangers KB's as it is now. Not Everyone is HI-TECH Savy ....& besides that just playing is difficult enough to worry about for some...I believe these companies need to somehow keep improving features... BUT, they really need to keep it VERY "USER FRIENDY" if they want to sell to the masses.....remember the more people understand what they are doing .....the more they will buy......
