Bachus.very interesting insight I tend to agree with you to a point about open workstations being the future of closed arranger keyboards. I personally embrace & am excited to see the development of whet is to be in the new wave of design.
The Mediastation is a fine example of what is to be in the future allowing musicians more creativity being young or old to create music in anyway they choose. Educating the user is of utmost importance also. Lets face it no matter how good these instruments sound you still have to operate them.....and more importantly you have to KNOW HOW to play to a certain standard that will pair well with the technology offered otherwise whats the sense, the unit cannot do that for you. I'm happy to be around to keep my mind open to what is ahead. Domenic is on the right track for sure imo.
