Gang... OK, I think one other LARGE issue is: Yamaha PRO division is telling Arranger division (comes from non-PRO division) NO WAY YOU GET anything to blow away some of our business!

Already the PRO synth customers are asking why does my PRO board not have the same or better sounding SA voices as the T2???
Turf wars my friends!

Think about it, does it makes sense?

If they offer a killer true PRO arranger in 76 or 88, maybe some stage gigging band folks would get it instead of a Motif etc.

They are the same company, but each division has profits goals to make or someone's job (s) go away!

That's my thinking on it.

Maybe the other arranger company's don't have that level of competition amoust themselves? (Roland, Korg) because the PRO guys don't see the threat to their busness area.

Yamaha could with there rsources build a super Tyros T5 that would be 61, or 76, or 88 with ALL PRO features in the arranger end and the synth end....if they wanted to.
