First of all, thanks to EVERYONE who responded to my thread.

From the information I've gathered so far, it seems the Ketron Vega only includes Middle Eastern instruments and styles. I'm curious if there is a manufacter out there (Yamaha?) that produces an arranger keyboard which not only includes the Far Eastern instrument sounds (like the Yamaha KB410 that Sylion, in China, owns), but also includes Far Eastern Asia style patterns. I guess I could checkout the Roland Asian card, but that means having to purchase a Roland specific box to install it in.

Back on the subject of oriental instrument sounds and styles: It's interesting that most arranger keyboards are manufacterered in Japan yet their styles and sounds are almost all (exclusively?) Western. I'm curious HOW MANY people in Japan and Asia play arranger keyboards. Do they ONLY play Euro-American Pop styles or are there special edition arranger keyboards manufactered which include traditional & contemparary Far Eastern sounds & styles, but are only available for sale in Asia?
