Every other TOTL arranger is aiming at the 76 key market because thats where the pro's are and so the pro wannabee...
Yamaha doesn't want to be on the pro market. Why? Because then they have to live up to people that demand first class stuff and innovation.
So Yamaha is satisfied with the homeconsumer market.
Yes, Yamaha is very satisfied with the home consumer market...that's where the big profits lie.
Remember, lots of pros use Yamaha Tyros and mid-range PSR because they are compact, lightweight, and sound equal to, or better than, the competition's so called "pro" arrangers.
A "pro" is just a person who makes his/her living at playing...doesn't mean they are any more skilled than home players; in fact I know several home players that can easily outplay most if not all the so-called pros here on SZ including myself.
Nashville uses PSR instruments for song writing, and several big name performers use Tyros and PSR arrangers for song writing.
Korg will do okay in the small 76-note arranger arena, because there is no real competition for their PA2XPro...the Audya sure isn't, the Mediastation is almost a Yeti, and the G-70 is discontinued.
