Well, it is called Synthzone. And this subforum is called the general arranger forum.

I have been a member here for quite a few years myself - going back to before the forum lost it's datasbase (as I recall)some years ago and required re-registering. Evidently, files can't be uploaded and myself, as someone that has worked with computers for over 30 years, I can't even figure out how to upload a picture. Really all you can do is dicuss instruments, imo.

But also this forum becomes too much like Gearslutz forum at times, what with the mfgr reps and salesmen that hang out here.
But at least on Gearslutz, when a mfgr or salesperson starts trashing someone elses product, that person is severely taken to task and will be suspended by the moderators. AND all salespeople and mfgr reps must state as much in their signature.

I have noticed over the years that the above mentioned types make it difficult to have any real discussion because the threads nearly always get sabotaged.

Such as, several posts back I very seriously asked "why can't Yamaha put a nice keybed on the top of the line arrangers"? Since this thread pertains to weight, could it possibly be that much of a weight issue? If that is what people say, I don't believe it. I will admit that my Motif XS seems to weigh little more that my Tyros, but it cost less and it is built like a tank which will probably last for years and years and, it has a delightful action. Full size keys also.

Or perhaps they (the mfgrs) have just written the arranger instruments off as just NOT top shelf.

I can't help but wonder if threads like this one are what sabotages any requests for a more substanstially built arranger.
