Since US is not the main market for arranger keyboards. The main market is europe and overhere we have arranger players in all age cattegories.

This makes your statement less valid...

But if the Arranger keyboard market in uerope doesn't want to end up like the US market we need innovative products that are attractive to young and old. So thats why i think they need to add stuff like KARMA, audio styles to arrangers. And thats why i think that VSt support needs to be added to arrangers too.

We have a saying here in holland "Standing still equals going backwards" We need to get what we liked in our old arrangers and improve on that. And add new things to that, some things will be here to stay and others will be just temporary and not as good as hoped and they will disapear again.

But you also have a point, Modern keyboards need to be easy to operate and sound great out of the box. Or as we say easy to learn hard to master with many indepth options for those that want more, and those might use those options to create those styles and sounds you might add to your keyboard by a simple copy paste action.
