Again Bill I have disagree with you man. Bill you're out of touch with the Hip Hop market. Some people seem to think Hip Hop just started within the last 10 years. Hip Hop and Rap has been around for a good 30 years Bill. Perhaps you don't know this because the industry started in the United States. Does the group SugarHill Gang ring any bells???? Does the year 1979 ring any bells. Hip Hop and Rap have been around for a long time now.., yet these arrangers still cater to the older crowd. They've had 30 years worth of material building up to what you have today in the industry and they still don't do these styles any justice.

They target to the older crowd because it's no secret that the arranger marker have been tapping the pockets of arranger buyers for years. They target the older mature home player for many reasons too. The best example I can give you Bill is simply this. Look at the Tyros 3 and the Motif XS8. Look at the price difference between the two. Does it make sense that you can buy Yamaha's top end 88 keys fully weighted workstation for less than a Tyros 3 and the workstation is built better and built for the pro market.
