Yes that's exactly what I meant BUT it's only in my case, don't know if it'll be the same for others.
From the active members in this forum I may be the exception, not the rule. I'll tell you my profile: I'm 41 years old (not that old) and I'm a hobbist organ player that ended up playing arrangers because I couldn't buy/afford a modern organ. I don't know about computer programming, just sitting in front of my PC and using Windows, the Web explorer and some simple programs.I like to sit and play my instruments OOTB in the old fashion freely and live.

Why did I buy a MS? I could not refuse to buy an unique instrument usually unavailable in my country at less than half the price of a middle range arranger here (i.e.Psr s900). It was an used MS with older hardware that I still can upgrade.

Do I regret? Not at all, because I also needed the excellent Fatar keys to make my own instrument, I have everything set at the touch of my fingers and I can amuse myself with new sounds when I get bored.

Do I think it is for everyone? No, the target of this product should be younger people who like technology and computers, programers, sound engineers not the average home arranger player.

Will it succed? This is the future, you like it or not. All advanced keyboards will have the capabilities of an open keyboard. The young man of today will be the old man of tomorrow.

But it is true, as players, we should spend more time learning playing skills not reading the Owners Manual.
