If a manufacturer is in business and wanting 100% surety of recouping cost, they should not be in business.

I believe the module helps the strike a balance between Yamaha and Korg’s approach to updating an existing keyboard.

Korg has some features they want to add they release a free update to the OS )no revenue for Korg excellent for the customer).
Yamaha has some features they want to add they release a new keyboard ( New revenue for Yamaha not good for customer they have to buy another keyboard around same price as the old one).

With a module, it is a win win situation. Company gets additional revenue and possibly new customers and consumer does not have to pay full price for a new keyboard but gets some additional features.
The price will be very important in this strategy it MUST be affordable.

Could it be the time for arranger modules? Something that could get in the hands of arranger and workstations users alike?
