And Ian, sorry!
Well, my friend, I did write, "Perhaps the next S-series will include a 76 note instrument?"
But that's okay...apology accepted.
Anyway, the "pro" arranger market is competing against other things...especially the DJ...and Karaoke to name only two...even I-pod dances are becoming popular.
But this is not an issue if it's a home keyboard.
A home keyboard is a hobby.
Yep, some arranger prices are up, but actually the S900 is less expensive than the 3K when it was new and has more features...perhaps the Tyros3 will be less...surely it should be around the same price as the T2.
I don't like the tacked on stuff any more than you, but the competition sets the bar...and if it's a home keyboard...it's probably going to be stuff that will be liked and even used.
C'est la vie.
Ian
