As little as Yamaha would need to do to tool up a low production run of 76 S900's (that would put the Roland E60 under serious stress) and 76 T2/3's (which would give the G70 and PA2XPro some tight times), it just strikes me they are losing an opportunity to corner the ENTIRE arranger market, not just the 'home' one...
How do we know that Yamaha is not planning a 76 note arranger based on the S900?
Perhaps the next S-series will include a 76 note instrument?
OR...maybe the T4 will have a 76 note FSX keybed?
It's all possible, and highly probable if the marketing mavens feel it will be in the company's best interest.
IF they do...I believe they will continue to be marketed as "home" keyboards...not "pro".
As I said in my previous post...there will be no confusion about the intended buyer.
