IMHO...It would be darned stupid to make a MOTL 76 arranger. Most of the MOTL buyers are looking at cost...So you think they would pony up another several hundred $$ to have 76..NO WAY HOSE'
Sure a few of the gigiing PRO's might...(light weight)but that IMO is not the majority of MOTL arranger buyers.
So, IF Yamaha ever decides to enter the PRO arranger world with Korg and Ketron..it needs to be a very TOTL unit. All the bells & whistles.
1) 76, high qualty semi-weighted 2) FULL MIDI implentation 3) Editig at a much deeper level 4) More flexibiliy in the OS 5) functons to make yur own SA & SA2 voices 6) better build quality 7) Black metal case?
Well, I don't think it should even be a Tyros Something new...mabe a mix of the Tyros and a Motif.
I'm not holding my breath for it :-)
SO...My revised answer is NO...I probably would not buy a 76 Tyros..BUT, I would buy a 76 TOTL arranger if it had what I want. (Tyros + + + with advanced features)
