Ian, please, no death wishes or prophecies here!!! The advent of a “new” model to replace last year’s model (car and clothing market fashion philosophy) should not be necessary (in the musical instrument field) if the product’s base concept and design is forward thinking enough. The product should be allowed to develop and be supported through its life cycle (whatever that is), and for support to continue for a realistic period beyond. Look at the Motif in all its variants (the line has been around for some time). Just because the 9000PRO is no longer developed or supported by Yami, does not mean that it suddenly becomes any less of an instrument than it was when it was in its supported life cycle. I am amazed (and encouraged) by the number of (Pro) boards (from other manufactures) that are “old” (not of the current generation or so) and still supported by the manufacturer, and used by the people who “love them”.

Look at the Motif, and the T2. The base tools and components are all there for Yami to do its stuff and produce a “76 key” arranger. All it takes is a "champion for the cause" at the right level of management to be raised up, and the product will be born.
