leezone,

Take any arranger on the market and it has the same "Cockpit" affect as the MS.

The features in that keyboard are the direct result of the manufacturer listening to us musicians and what we want out of a keyboard and are very contemporary to what other manufacturers are offering.

Surely over your vast 20 years of experience you've seen an evolution of electronic gear built for the "computer" generation of musicians??

Heck, what about spinet/console organs of 20 years ago? They had more buttons and knobs than the Mediastation.

Why don't you play one and see why those buttons are actually needed?

i don't consider it your typical arranger, but that's just me...

i wonder what has more buttons, lights, sliders, controllers, this or a Boeing 777

put this next to your christmas tree and no need for lights, instant light show...

that's not to say that it's not cool and all.

i've never even seen this in ANY music store either,

so comparing the top brands, or shall i say well known brands that make typical arrangers, Korg, Yamaha, Roland, Ketron.... this AUDYA will have more memory...
